Paul,

You haven't given any reference to back up your utterly stupid statement

"More Australians have died (suicide) because of the actions of pedophile Catholic clergy that at the hands of Muslims. Has anyone seriously calling for a ban on Catholicism?"

Chickening out as usual?

When the Australians,among others, landed in Turkey it was against an already declared enemy, it was not an invasion as that term is usually understood in that context. The Normandy Invasion of WWII ilustrates this.

"The Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers to form the Triple Alliance with the signing of the August 1914 Turco-German Alliance. Turkey formally entered World War I on 28 October 1914 with the bombing of Russian Black Sea ports".

Paul, like Foxy you missed the point.
I have never said all those other massacres were right, in fact I never
even mentioned them, so why bring them up ?
That is just an old age diversion technique.

I was talking about the current threat from Islam and its relationship
to history. The reference to Rome is in the Hadith I think.
If it is not such a threat why are governments all round the world
spending so much money on security ?

It is amazing how much effort is being made to deny the threat.

More:
A surprising number of people complain that I and others do not take
into account that only some moslems are likely to be terrorists.
Unfortunately that is now redundant thinking.
All we can do is look at the source group and if there is no way to
detect the subgroup that is a risk, then there is only one solution.
Act on the lowest level group definable.

Here endith the lecture on logic.

Dear Is Mise,

Prejudice is an irrational, inflexible attitude
toward an entire category of people.
The word literally means "prejudged."
The key feature of prejudice is that it is
always rooted in generalisations and so ignores the
differences among individuals. Thus someone who is
prejudiced against Muslims will tend to have a
negative attitude toward Muslims in the belief that
all Muslims share the same supposed traits and
beliefs.

Foxy,

".... in the belief that
all Muslims share the same supposed traits and
beliefs."

Are you having comprehension problems?

I pointed out to you that I don't believe that all Moslems share the same traits, most of the women that I have met, unveiled, have been quite beautiful, and I can well understand why their husbands require them to be veiled in public, but not all Muslim women are fortunate enough to share the beauty trait, and I can understand why their husbands prefer not to advertize to the world that they lost out in the arranged marriage gamble.

Dear Is Mise,

So what exactly is your point?
