How does Islam make that different?
One has the will, and support of unchallengeable works of fiction to get ahead, by the sword.

I think Gandhi proved that unjust might and oppression can be overcome without violence.

So it's Islam that is impoverishing them and spurning on radicals or is it our consumption of and control of their only hope of getting a leg up?

I don't believe so,
remember that the CIA went to great effort to stamp out the "secular" parties in the Middle East and Central Asia; who they considered to be "Communist" and/or "Communist leaning". There is a lot of truth in that we created the Taliban and Al-Queda and are now dealing with our own creations.

Saddam (secular) was knocked out and the Bush administration was also aiming the cross hairs at Al-Assad and even King Hussein (in Jordan) to some extent.
No arguments here.

But that does not excuse how it turned out.

I don't blame the MIA wholly for how chiefs behave with money.

I'm all for a nation of people who are spiritual rather than religious but at the same time I can see there being more chaos than benefit without there being a group shared aspect of spirituality.

Political Islam can take a flying **** the same way Christian politics or Jewish can as far as I'm concerned.

Ya, that explains all the wealthy Saudi Sheiks.

I've posted the same opinion of Christianity, Sikhism, and Islam is the only one that people focus on.

Why is that?

And why isn't it being discussed in the thread I started on that topic?

I'm a little more optimistic about it.

Political Islam can take a flying **** the same way Christian politics or Jewish can as far as I'm concerned.
My point exactly.

Islam is not impoverishing everyone,
the Sheikhs and Mullahs are living quite comfortably!
That's exactly what I was getting at when I replied to your other post.

Just like our politicians get gravy jobs after doing a public stint. Which MP will make VP in charge of coffee and donuts for Exxon?

Religion can be an organ, of the ruling elites, to keep the masses impoverished but it's not the only one. Here in the secular west; nonwithstanding the United States, we have a religion called the security net and diversity. If the housing market wasn't so crazy in Vancouver; with the constant influx of migrants and immigrants, than most young adults would have their own home and would be able to afford children.

Isn't that what that Jesus guy was yelling about while trashing Solomons temple?

Indeed he was... the original socialist who wanted all men to be equal but in time his message was corrupted by the Catholic Church who imposed us into binded serfdom. Probably be a matter of time until some asshole politician comes up with an idea to introduce an internal passport in Canada

You license plate already has an RFID chip. They already know where you are. Then they'll just set up roadblocks regulating inter-provincial transportation of "fruit" and tear apart your vehicle like they do in the US so it stays within the bounds of the Charter.

My wife keeps mine in her purse. Watch the Leprechaun video, it'll cheer you up.

If I were a leprechaun, Mobile would be my choice of hangouts.

I actually do not believe we should ban Muslim immigration. Just Islam. Just so we're clear.

Thought police....I shoulda known! Seriously, have you ever considered working for CBSC. You would fit in so well.

Way to lower yourself a little more with each additional post lil Joe.

If they don't practice Islam, then they are not Muslims. If you ban Islam, then you ban Muslims.

Banning Islam is banning a belief system. CB would like to have thought police. I know he'll question my "cognitive abilities" for pointing this out but I'm strong...I can handle it

Yep, that's me, a jack booted thought cop.

Way to miss the point, yet again lil Joe.

I'd stop questioning your cognitive abilities, if you stopped post such asinine stupidity.

If I'm missing your point, it is because of your inability or unwillingness to provide a lucid argument detailing it. That is your failing not mine.

Funny Petros picked it up. Several people fully grasped the context of the OP, while you got stuck on the first line of it.

So the failing is all yours lil Joe.
