@ SteeleRedux.. "moonshine,

I can understand Paul’s assumption about your religious status. You referred to Islam as a “fake religion” earlier (It’s not. It is a religion in every sense of the word). This could suggest that you think one of the religions is real (or true)."

Quite a stretch of the imagination there, to think because I called one religion fake that I imagine a different one to to genuine.

The subject was muslims and the subject religion was islam. I wasn't aware that I would need to clarify that anglican, catholic, presbytarian, methodist, baptist, jehova's witness, 7th day adventist, and the gospel singers down the road were all based on fake rubbish, as I didn't see any of them mentioned anywhere, let alone involved in any mass killings

@ mhaze..."I don't agree that we should " get rid of them". They're here, they're often citizens, we invited them. Our problem isn't with 'them', its with that portion of them who are, or will become, radicalised. It is here that our efforts need to be made. By all means don't add to the potential pool by adding to the overall pool but don't expel those who are here"

So what is your definition of 'radicalised'? because to me the killing is the major problem of course..but not the only problem I have with islam.

It's pretty much everything about it, everything it believes in and everything it does. From the FGM to the burka, from the nonsense of the virgins to the 4 wives, from the marrying of children and everything in between.

It's wrong. On every level.

Paul1405,

You probably have a point regarding foreign policy. I'm reluctant to comment in too much depth there because I'm not an expert on international relations. My knowledge on terrorism is mainly focused on the radicalisation of homegrown terrorists, and for them, foreign policy never seems to be a primary grievance factor.

moonshine,

That was me who said that.

You don't need to clarify that. But if they're all fake then your mentioning of fakeness was redundant.

@ AJ Phillips.
Yes, I know it was you that said that, but my reply was in answer to Steele's comment saying he understood why you believed that I might believe some religions were not fake.
