They certainly are a display of faith, a faith that we don't need in this country; however the particular faith, Islam, is religio-political and therin lies the difference.

'So where do the bad things come from then runner? '

'he believes god is on his side, and therefore believes he can do no wrong!" '

nearly as bad as the man who makes up what is right and wrong according to his own warped world view. Thats why killing babies, perversion, treachery, lying and Christ hating is all part of the secularist world view. Just look at Stalin and Hitler.

Davidf,

Sorry David, but I have learned more about everything in 72 years than you have in 90. You are a wrong-headed old rascal; a relativist and an Australia-basher (as I have said before, and you denied that too). I sense that you are an amiable quiet old chap, who gets away with a lot of blah because of that, and because you are a very senior gentlemen. That's any if anyone other than your admirers on OLO take any notice.

I know that you will pardon my assumption, because you presumed to prounounce on what I don't know without knowing the first thing about me.
