By Tanveer Ahmed, published 15/8/2014This is outlined by Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennell's groundbreaking work visiting Muslim criminals in jail, where he makes reference to the Arab notion of 'holy anger', which is completely foreign to English.

@Pete,
<<There is only one recourse but to screen this cruel but fair ISIS recruitment video http://youtu.be/72gT3OuaEhI >> Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not the ISIS recruitment videooooooooooo! Do you have any idea of the effect that will have on the likes of Steele and Dane they are already tetering on the edge. They will be off like a Hamas rocket to their nearest ISIS centre to sign up. No for Pete's sake. I beg you Pete, not the ISIS vid Posted by SPQR, Saturday, 16 August 2014 7:06:45 PM

Dear SPQR,
For your information: http://amf.net.au/library/uploads/files/Religion_Cultural_Diversity_Resource_Manual.pdf Just trying to help. I don't want you to gain the reputation that "He's the kind of person that you could use as a blueprint to build an idiot." Playfully artful as you are. ;-) Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 16 August 2014 7:28:33 PM

Yuyutsu, Christians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and Muslims follow the teachings of Mohammad.
Jesus Christ's message was similar to your own, peace, love and mung beans. 'Blessed are the peacemakers". "Love thy neighbour" "If man strike thee, turn the other cheek." Mohammad's message is "Fight the unbelievers who are near to you, let them find harshness in you, lay ambushes for them, strike terror into their hearts" Mohammad got started by beheading 800 Jewish men in Medina who refused to convert to Islam and he sold their women and children into slavery after first allowing his men to rape the women. All religions think that their particular religion is the one and only religion of God. And if they want to spread their message through public speaking and the media I can accept that. But Islam believes in Jihad and spreading Islam by the sword. Sixty million Christians, a few million Jews, a hundred million Hindu's ten million Buddhists, and God knows how many tens of millions of Africans have died because of Islam. Get it through your head that Islam is opposed to everything you believe in. The aim of Islam is world domination. Everywhere they have invaded or immigrated to they have always tried to dominate where they lived. If they can not take over a country they will take over a region and spread like a cancer from there through Muslim immigration or high birth rate differentials. If they created prosperous and tolerant societies that may not necessarily be a bad thing. But wherever Islam spreads it creates poverty stricken and totally intolerant societies at war with each other, and where women and minorities are second class citizens.

Dear LEGO,
<<All religions think that their particular religion is the one and only religion of God.>> And they are correct. There is only one religion - that which leads to God. Religious practices and beliefs can vary according to culture, geography, temperament and other conditions, so different religious teachers give different and even seemingly conflicting teachings to different groups of people. Buddha for example is known to have given conflicting instructions to different individual seekers, each according to their situation and capacity: to one he said that God exists, to another he said that there is no such thing as God and to his closest disciple, Ananda, he said nothing, but led him into meditation where he could find out for himself. The question now is whether or not Islam is a religion. Indeed, whether specific streams within Islam are religious or otherwise. I would like to find out what Mohammad actually taught, as opposed to what is written in the Koran (which itself has several versions, http://www.answering-islam.org/Green/seven.htm). I still have much reading to do before I can be decided on this question. There are Islamic streams that teach that Jihad is an internal war which one wages against their own sins and weaknesses. If that's indeed what Mohammad taught, then he successfully adjusted religion for the Arab temperament. As I said, much research is needed to find whether that was the case, but meanwhile, regardless of what Mohammad actually meant, millions of good, civilised and moderate Muslims benefit religiously from fighting that war within.

Yuyutsu,
<<There are Islamic streams that teach that Jihad is an internal war which one wages against their own sins and weaknesses. If that's indeed what Mohammad taught>> Well, no, he didnt teach that. That is very much a modern beat-up. Jihad means war against infidels. Posted by SPQR, Sunday, 17 August 2014 1:44:47 PM

I have however noticed a difference between the moslems and the Chinese.
The Chinese are not so densely settled as the moslems.
