Good. I'll ignore the sarcastic tones and assume we do agree with the original point I made. When qualified yes, yes i do. But in its original form no. A bit too Daily Mail for me.

I know people that work in London as their base that aren't travelling in to work because they are afraid. If your argument is that out of the entire population of the UK it's only the minority that are afraid then I might agree. If you're saying no one is afraid to live their life normally right now then I'm not going to able to take you seriously enough to discuss it. Edited by Part Time James (05 Jun 2017 12.26pm) I was at a concert at the Albert hall last night. The odd empty seat at a sell out concert but there could be loads of reasons for that. I felt a little nervous about going but was fine once there. During the interval a police officer appeared and was walking around in the venue and two women to the side of me appeared noticeably agitated by an officer being there and were asking the steward what was happening and was everything ok and so on. Lots and lots of police around the closer we got to London as we drove there . Just to add security wise it was open bag shine a torch inside job done. No frisk, no pat down, no metal detectors . My husband was waved straight through without a second glance Edited by Michaelawt85 (05 Jun 2017 12.39pm)

Has Khan disavowed his religion? Edited by hedgehog50 (05 Jun 2017 12.28pm) It's very true that to be publicly known as a secular Muslims in most Islamic countries in the world would be seriously risking your life.

"Jew" is an ethnic as well as religious definition. You can renounce Judaism but you'd still be a Jew. islam is a religion. And that's all. You can renounce islam if you're a muslim but all that means is that you're not muslim.

Liberal Turkish are mostly sufi-born but don't feel the need to pray five times a day nor believe in the turban-headed sky fairy either but they will have been brought up with benign muslim values. Sufism has a generous, pleasant god. So even if agnostic those values will have an influence.

Religious values are often practical and not related to worship of God. That is normally the bit that scares you into adhering to them. It follows that they live within the Muslim community and people who are prone to such powerful belief in god are easily fooled into doing things that most of us would consider to be insane. That is why we have to act decisively before the disease spreads further in that community. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (05 Jun 2017 12.55pm)

If they are religious it basically means that they accept the separation of Mosque and state....essentially a secular Muslim who still follows the religion is a westernised Muslim who follows liberal values......Most Muslims here care far more what their mosque leaders and family say rather than say.....what the law is...It's why we have sharia courts here. Then you have your secular Muslims who are atheist/agnostic/other It's like being a cultural Christian. You feel a connection to the people of the religion without actually believing in the rituals or stories as true. Homosexual Muslims for example. Lots of these type of Muslims keep their heads down....Some brave ones can be seen on YouTube channels. I follow some of them.

Wars are typically far to expensive to be about non-material issues for the most part. They do tend to be about power, status, wealth, resources and maintaining access to those. Civil conflicts less so, to start with, but usually the ones who focus on those issues, tend to win. For the leaders and elites in a society, that's the motivation. They would benefit personally from the attainment of another society's treasure. But they need a means to convince the population at large, almost all of whom will not benefit, of the righteousness of the cause. Religion is the perfect tool for that. Throughout all of history, there's never been a better tool for mass control than religion.

Christianity has sculpted our culture and still influences our institutions. That doesn't mean I feel any affiliation to that religion or those that follow it.
