ORIGINAL: kdsub Peon why do you think I am making this a Muslim Christian thing... I am not. If there are billions of peace loving Muslims.. then let them die to purge the radicalism from their religion. This IS a religious problem not a resource or territorial problem so only religion can solve it. Butch Why do they have to 'own' the radicalism in their religion? That makes no sense. I'm nominally Christian - do I have to 'own' everything that every Christian does? Sure, if one of these ISIS loons were to catch me, I'd possibly be lumped in with, for instance, Bush or Blair as a 'Christian', no matter what my protestations that I have *fuck all to do with these people*; still less do I have anything to do with the crusaders of the times of yore. It is NOT a religious problem, except insofar as religion is used to rationalise it - make it look "reasoned", spiritually and morally based, and so forth. It's political, economic and tribal. If it were religious, primarily, then why haven't all Muslims joined up with ISIS? Why aren't they all at least paid-up terrorists? This is a nonsense. It doesn't bear analysis. Seriously, Butch, where does your analysis end up? Am I, for instance, supposed to go into my newsagent's and ask the old Muslim boy who runs it and has been selling me my copy of the Independent for the last ten years when he's going to join up to go and fight ISIS? This little quiet, polite, friendly and respectful guy with thick glasses, with his cute daughters, who always has the most decorated shop in the row come Christmas? These people are varied. They are *different from one another*. They're just ordinary humans. They aren't the psychopathic nutters of ISIS, any more than I'm Jack the Ripper or any other nominal Christian.
