Boaz, as I said in my last post... before we all get too hot under the collar. I'm going to call you the F word. Yes a fundamentalist! Which is why you will never see the wood for the trees, let alone how offensive your call for one and all to come to Christ is on this post. No wonder you think JL's Imagine is crap. YOu're probably still dancing around your living room to Sister Janet Mead's 70's disco/folk revolting version of "our father". Demanding for garden variety Muslims to "prove" they condemn the stuff going on is like continually persecuting Jews about crucifying the wrong man. Religion always gets it wrong when it's in the hands of zealots as history has proven. It's not restricted to the Muslims, Christians and catholics have more blood on their hands than the shroud of Turin. When religion gets to the nadir it has (continually) it is not about the god, it's about the (mostly) men who are driving it. Which is where religion and politics always separate. And.. if Jesus had an iPod, i am sure that Imagine would have been on his hit parade. And anything by Leonard Cohen. OVer to you Garra!

I do not understand why posters are baiting each other. I do not understand why posters are so egocentric in their postings. All I want to see is fair and reasonable comment - and concern for Londoners.

Anyone who thinks that dropping 500kg bombs on markets and homes in Iraqi cities from the safety of a Bomber 5 miles up is morally any better than blowing up trains and buses at peakhour, deludes themselves.

I find it hard to believe that the 1000 Iraqi's (men, women and children) who have died every month for the last year and a half should pass with little more than a shrug while the deaths of less than 100 people in London should trigger outrage, and the launch of a Discovery Team from Australia, to see what can be learnt. All with much sincerity. It made me ill!

The trouble with the recent London attacks is that know we have to put up with the nauseating multiculturalist sentimentality. The London mayor Ian Livingstone (or whatever his name is) started waffling on about how it was an attack on "black, white, jew, sikh and christians" alike.

The worst thing about London is the multiculuralism, hardly something to be celebrated. The racial tensions in London is as thick as the pollution that covers the city itself. But multiculturalism has become structural and its critics are promptly jailed. Funnily enough, the terrorist attacks is a direct result of the multiculturalism that is so often naively celebrated.

How about this one from the gospel of St Leonard, Di?

"Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah"

davo,

thank you for insulting the people of london by attacking their mayor. it is sentiments like yours that give the terrorists good reason to cheer.
