While you are enjoying the Christmas holidays : Comments

I am particularly concerned about his suggestion in regard to critics of Islam that it is 'blasphemous' to comment on someone else's religion.

In reply to suseonline: Your assertion that Christians are as violent as Muslims is plain wrong. Violence is embedded in Islam to a vastly greater extent than any other religion.
From Morocco on the Atlantic coast to the southern Philippines there is a consistent level of violence and discrimination. The explosion of violence between Sunni and Shia in the middle east is one of the great tragedies in the last 100 years. 7 million people are refugees, and where do they flee? Many to Christian counties in Europe,
The examples you give of 'Christian' violence ( eg anti abortionist killings) are so trivial. However they do raise the issue of your psychology and motivation RobinL

There is far more violence in the Bible than in
the Quran, the idea that Islam imposed itself
by the sword is Western fiction fabricated during
the time of the Crusades when in fact it was
Western Christians who were fighting brutal Holy
Wars against Islam.

One needs to look at history and garner the facts.

Muslim grievances and frustration are exacerbated by
economic, political and social factors that lead to
violence.

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Gees, Foxy, how do you keep the wind out of your house?

Stick sheets of the SMH over the holes?

Dear Is Mise,

Here's some advice for you that you should take
to heart:

"You will never get to the end of the journey
if you stop to shy a stone at every dog that
barks."

It helps me.

Also I've discovered that there's a fine line
between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.

Fox, "Muslim grievances and frustration are exacerbated by economic, political and social factors that lead to violence"

So in Sweden, which is now referred to as the rape capital of Europe, women are somehow blameworthy for the rapes committed against them by Islamists? - Men who are economic migrants and are already taking advantage of the Swedish taxpayer and will be doing so for life.

The Swedish government has cleverly chosen not to collect stats and to refer to the offenders as Swedes. It is the 'Ostrich' strategy, which apologists would recommend as tres 'Progressive'.
