Dear Jayb,
How can you speak on the behalf of all Muslims and what they do or do not belief in or take literally. That's simply nonsense. You can't speak on the behalf of all Christians or Jews - as I've stated earlier - fundamentalists exist in all religions. But not all religious advocates are fundamentalists. And your claiming they are is not only vile but dishonest. Dear Is Mise, How long have Muslims lived in this country - do you know? And what percentage of them have caused us problems? So don't rant on about Islam - are all Catholics kiddie fiddlers? Did every Irish man belong to the IRA? Is Catholicism not compatible with democracy? Your prejudice is showing.

cont'd ...
Also you have to be able to understand the context and history of issues before making judgements. Regarding Islam and democracy Alon Ben Meir has written an excellent article which is worth a read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alon-benmeir/is-islam-compatible-with-b_3562579.html Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 10:45:04 AM

Foxy,
No need to rant, just shew me where Islam is compatible with democracy, I'm willing, in fact, anxious to be enlightened. Shew me the references, just a few will do ( the one that you supplied didn't work). None of the groups that you mentioned has a book of instructions that is anti-democratic.

Dear Is Mise,
My apologies for the typo with the previous link. I shall try again and hopefully it shall work this time: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alon-benmeir/is-islam-compatible_with_b_3562579.html The more relevant question that you should be asking is how do most muslims live their lives in the democracies that they inhabit around the globe? That would be a good indication of compatibility for most folk. Also one has to look at the history, circumstances, and context ot the countries in which Islam exists - the conditions that people live under - where there is no democratic traditions and no separation of Church and State.

".

Precisely, and there are no democratic traditions allowable in the religious/political movement that is Islam, the Koran is against it. The link worked this time, thanks. Everyone should read it; it paints a picture that shews just what to expect from Islam, thanks for that as well. Posted by Is Mise, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 1:41:23 PM

Same for the followers of islam.
I still laugh at the lefties who leap to defend the indefensible and actually encourage us taking on a massive problem. Well done guys and girls and do not forget you can blame the rest of us rather than yourselves.
