The best way to show respect for the dead is to stop anyone else dying.
People need to discuss this stuff and find common ground.

I agree. It's a start. And we have to start somewhere.

There is a huge resistance against any change within the Islamic community.

Islamic reformers are not backed at all. They are in fear of their lives.

There needs to be a cultural shift within that community towards a secular mentality. Being secular doesn't mean you stop being religious. It means you believe in the separation of mosque and state.

'Render onto Ceasar what is Ceasar's' made this far more easy within Christianity. Whereas there is nothing like this in Islam. But without this we are always going to have this problem.

If we are going to have Islam in this country the reformers need to be backed. Social conservationism within Islam that frowns upon integration needs to stop.

It won't happen because it would offend the Saudis. And then if we did do it car drivers would complain about the increased prices of petrol as a knock on effect.

All a bit fvcked up really.

This is one of the best explanations of the Muslim terrorist situation I
have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not
long, it is easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email
is Dr Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist. A man,
whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of
large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true
Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of
German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who
just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back
and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had
lost control, and the end of the world had come.' My family lost everything.

I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.

'We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is
a religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live
in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely
irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff meant to make us feel better, and meant
to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in
the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment
in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any
one of 50 shooting wars worldwide.

'It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups
throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an
Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. 
It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who
zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It
is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

'The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent
majority,' is cowed and extraneous. 'Communist Russia was comprised of
Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were
responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority
were irrelevant.

'China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists
managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

'The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a 
warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across 
South East Asia in

As usual with Kermy, up is down and left is right.

'Multiculturalism comes from the right'.....that's a real humdinger.

It stands right there with your, 'I backed Scottish independence, but I didn't really'.

Kermy sometimes you make flat earth theory sound like common sense.

If people look back at your previous commentary on this issue....You have said that mainstream Islam doesn't need reform. Directly against what the Islamic reformers say.

You may not intend it but essentially you run the arguments that end in people doing nothing.
