Indeed how can so many young folk be turned into murdering mindless animals with no respect for life or the will of God, which for many of us becomes just a convenience when we want to end a life well before the duly appointed hour! Or as a convenience when the going gets to tough?

Taking a life still is taking a life, whether in murderous outrage or clinically clean and with a "helpful" needle?

Would it have been more acceptable if these folks had been gassed to death,leaving just dead bodies with no marks or obvious trauma, to show these were once living human being with hopes, dreams, families and love.
Look mum, no mess!
Rhrosty.

It's definitely Allah. Read the Koran, bud.

Rhosty, murderers = killers & vice versa. Has nobody noticed that these attacks keep happening on Friday night or Saturday morning after they have been revved up in the Mosque?

ttbn, too true.

Its amazing how many seemed shocked at how evil the human heart is. We slaughter thousands of unborn babies each year in the name of ?

ttbn is spot on.
To elaborate...the young are being told what's in the koran by their Imams. There is no room for 'interpretation' of the koran as some infidels assume or expect. The words of the koran, hadiths and of the clerics are letter perfect.

Anyone expecting a modern moderate interpretation of the koran to take root seriously needs a reality check.

And as for a so-called wholesale 'reformation' of the meanings in the koran....don't stay up waiting.

I'll throw out the challenge again name a passage in the Koran you don't believe has the equivalent in the Bible.

"For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people." Acts

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them". Romans
