    Why not?

    There are aspects of Islam that I'm really not comfortable with so I should I criticise or do as you do and stick my head in the sand?

      How am I sticking my head in the sand because I don't have the same level of "discomfort" you do? Is it because I don't want to "face facts" and acknowledge that Wahabism is the "one true Islam" or whatever nonsense people are writing in this thread?

        Oh goody now I can have fun criticising Christians. Now shall I start with the ones in Russia or the ones in Rome....

          Probably.

          When I think of Islam I do tend to think of death and blood.

          You've never been to chop chop square after Friday morning prayers have you?

            Where, in Glasgow? Never seen anyone do anything like that here. But you know carry on judging Islam by Saudi Arabia and I'll stick to the Spanish Inqusition as the high watermark for Christianity. Makes about as much sense.

              Spanish inquisition was centuries ago.

              Wahhibism is in the here and now.

              Big difference.

                Not to me, but hey keep your head in the sand or be an apologist for the Catholic Church or whatever. See what I did there?

                  You know the story of Iran, and what happened to the indigenous population once the religion of peace got involved ?
                  Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                  No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                    I remember the horrible reports about the Bosnian Serbs. Christians are still violent murderers and they pretend not to be.
