    So predictable what would happen in Afghanistan after USA withdrew.

    I don’t consider that Islam is an organisation dedicated to evil.  It’s supposed to be making the world a better place, especially for people who believe in it.  I believe it does succeed in some respects that can be seen and felt by people who don’t suffer its bad effects.

    But human nature is a faulty and wonky thing, Islam is strongly patriarchal which is one of the main complaints against it, although I don’t find any intolerance on the part of Muslims in the UK towards anything I might do.  Apparently they don’t like apostates and atheists.  Isis said “we hate your atheist fringe” to the West.  There is also the anti-Semitism along with criticism of Israel.

    Islam also seems extremist and all-or-nothing, which is not that surprising for something which is dedicated to worshipping a God, and that God is necessarily sacred and of infinite value: i.e., more value than human life sometimes.  It’s just not healthy to place that much value in something, so that it is above all else that really matters.

    @simon. Attilla the Hun had some people who succeeded as a result of his brutality.

    Genghis Khan unified all the Mongolian tribes with his brutality.

    Alexander III of Macedonia was a fiendishly cruel man who introduced elephants to the art of war. No doubt a few people were happy with this.

    I’m not going to mention the German guy.

    Your theory that some people benefit from Islams atrocities thus totally fails as a mitigating factor.

    Attilla the Hun … Genghis Khan … Alexander III of Macedonia

    Yes, but those people didn’t teach people nice manners and things like that.

    Apparently they don’t like apostates and atheists…

    That means they don’t like 75% of the worlds population. That includes me so they can sit on this and swivel.

    It’s just not healthy to place that much value in something, so that it is above all else that really matters.

    That is very true, especially when what they value most is imaginary. So not healthy at all then. They would all be better off without it and then we would all be better off as a species that might actually flourish.

    I’m not sure there’s anything in Islam encouraging nice manners, unless nice manners include burying women vertically in the sands of an arena with only their heads above ground, and stoning them to death for imagined apostasy – often accused by their husbands so he can get rid of them and snag a new wife.

    Do yourself a favour and read ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini. It’s a novel not a reference book. It describes Islam from the perspective of two women. I think you’d understand better if you saw it through the eyes of these women, who are not rebelling against Islam at all. They accept what we might find unacceptable.

    Nice manners, my arse.

    On the surface seems like two nice ladies having a lovely chat, if you forget one of the sex slaves is peeping through eye slits. The other one is talking about things that tarnish your “heart”. Twenty-five seconds into the video, one of those terrible things is “loving this life”. These people are fucking monsters, always were, always will be a child molesting, wife abusing death cult that wants to end democracy and secularism.

    Contrast the slaves to a free, atheistic woman from a liberal democracy with rights to become herself.

    @_Robert_ always will be a child molesting…cult.

    I suspect this is going to be the case but they are not in first place considering the latest news about the Catholic Church in Ireland which will lead to more revelations around the world over the next few years. I won’t post about it yet but I will be asking people why they still support an international organization of child abusers, as I have consistently done for the last 25 years. I am now getting a t-shirt printed. “Are you still a f******* Catholic”??

    “No, please count the fucking asterisks.  I am asking why you remain a faithful catholic.  It’s just I think being faithful to child abusers is a sickness”.

    I am not posting about it yet because I will have to post a mod warning to myself. I won’t change my language and then I will have to ban myself from this site. Yes, there might be a few good apples in that poisoned barrel of rotten apples but they are only window dressing to the gullible myopic sheep that think their putrid church will reform.

    @Reg,

    It would take a lot to be surprised these days, but I am certainly open to it, LOL.

    Genghis Khan unified all the Mongolian tribes with his brutality.

    The British created the modern state of India out of a gaggle of minor local kingdoms with theirs. And the modern state of Germany wouldn’t have the national treasure of Schloss Neuschwannstein without the brutality of The Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria, either.

    Strange how good can sometimes come out of evil.
