Absolutely. We should live in a world where the first thing we do when there is violence is say “what is the cause of this and how can we help make peace?”
But also gave them better jobs and better access to education. If life was better in their home countries, why would they need to go to Denmark or France?
What’s the cause of violence?
Well did you also look at the response that the Muslim Council of Britain gave to these people - they are the representatives of Islam, not some hyped up misguided people.
The car bombs were not because of religion but politics.
What a load of rubbish. Just because immigrants children refuse to integrate and then run rampage, you heap the blame on France?
There is a combination of both, what was political (as in “Old” IRA) became religious soon, the conflict became fueled by an ignorant hatred of one anothers denomination, with supposedly good Christian people such as “The Rev.” “Dr” Ian Paisley adding more fuel to the increasingly dangerous fire.
This is an example of you seeing the trees but missing the forest.
I don’t see Venezuelans threatening suicide attacks, I don’t hear of Cubans threatening to blow up malls in Florida. I don’t see the North Koreans hijacking planes and crashing them into buildings. I never hear of Chinese Communists wanting the USA to submit to Chinese Communist ideology. As much as I am suspicious of these guys, these dictatorships haven’t spawned the type of activities that are associated with Islamic groups.
Sssh … don’t give them any ideas! :bigyikes:
You make Osama sound like a noble freedom- fighter struggling for the little man, struggling for equality, fighting against the imperialist western powers that seek to oppress the world.
You cannot be serious. The colombian rebels kill more people in Colombia every year than Al Qaeda terrorism does worldwide.
This 90 percent statistic is one of those 99.999 percent of statistics that are made up on the spot without any reference to the data whatsoever.
He is a war criminal and a terrorist. I was pointing out the conditions from which he sprang, which are clearly conditions of oppression and war. If you turn a blind eye to war and oppression, you will get radicals…just like in Colombia, just like in Afghanistan, just like in Northern Ireland.
I never said Osama wanted to conquer the world, but what he wants is just as bad.
The religion doesn’t preach violence. Just as some Catholics have adapted and perverted Catholic identity to support the struggle in Northern Ireland, Osama has done the same with Islam. It’s pretty plain if you take a look at what all the orthodox scholars of Islam say, versus what Osama and his own group say. No one in Islam agrees with their interpretation, so to say that the religion teaches violence is simply error.
There is a vast difference between Catholics corrupting the teachings of Jesus and Muslims adhering to the teachings of Mohammed. We all know the Koran teaches to kill the unbeliever and we all know that “people of the Book” are to be dhimmitized.
You keep claiming this, but I posted an Orthodox Muslim source to specifically refute it. This is your idea about the religion, not what most Muslims see in it, so it’s really not relevant to the discussion.
Explain to me what a statistically valid method is for computing the number of conflicts in the world. You want me to compute the number of muslims participating in those conflicts, you aint gonna like that either. How about you tell me how I should twist those numbers to your liking?
