Individual Muslims in Western countries may feel threatened. But it is only a perception but not real. However in Malaysia it is the government and a senior figure that warned the non-Muslims. It is state terrorism.

ALL Western countries have had a long history of Christianity. That is why Western countries are far, far culturally superior to Islamic-based societies.

Germans apologised for their Nazi past, did any Islamic organisation ever apologised for their lot burning down non-Muslim buildings or killing non-Muslims? NO, because their "Holy" Qu'ran encouraged them to do acts of vandalism against non-Muslim properties, killing non-Muslims and abusing female Muslims.

The only hope for Muslims is what Daniel Pipes said, re-interpret the Qu'ran, but he and secular Muslims aren't very successful.

Supremacism makes Christians feel special, but it has no basis in reality.

When Christians were burning witches and praying for deliverance from smallpox, the Islamic world was preserving the knowledge of the Greeks in universities and public hospitals.

The current prosperity of Christian countries owes everything to the secular Enlightenment. We are successful DESPITE religion, not because of it.

The Nazi comparison is beyond absurd. Or did I miss the Vatican's apology for the Inquisition and Crusades?

The Malaysian business is concerning, but that's what you get with a theocratic government. If Tony Abbott's elected, how long do you think until non-Christians are officially discriminated against? A year? Less?

Dear Herman Yutic,

The description you gave of your environment
in your last post is quite dismal and ever
so sad.

My advice to you is - you really need to
change your environment and get into the real
world. Mentally you'll be much healthier for it.

A closed mind is like a closed book - just a piece
of wood.

Anyway, Good Luck with your attempts to bring
charity and tolerance into your environment!

Perhaps it would help you to start your own thread
on the meaning of "truth," "sincerity," "virtue,"
and so on? Just a thought!

*The current prosperity of Christian countries owes everything to the secular Enlightenment. We are successful DESPITE religion, not because of it.*

Sancho, that is very true indeed! As a kid, I attended both a Catholic
and later on a Baptist school. Sheesh, when I think back at some
of the rubbish they tried to teach me, when we could have used that
time to learn some interesting science, or something usefull.

Its similarly a problem in the Islamic world. Years ago I read a
UN report in the Economist, which basically implied that all
that learning of the Koran off by heart, which is a big part of
Islamic education, is holding them back from a better education.

*When you refer to another poster as "ReamOn,"
instead of their accurate nom de plume "Dream On*

Ah Foxy, you are just very prim and proper. I can just imagine
you in the library, bun in your hair, spectectacles at the end
of your nose, a long librarian kind of dress :)

Foxy,
I was talking about this post,
as if you didn't know.
Or were you being sincere?

As an illustration of how stupid this has become just look at
the Dreamon Readon complaint.
If you look at your keyboard you will see how close D & R are located.
It is an obvious typo. so take a Bex and have a nice liedown.
