I think its easy to use religion as an excuse.

I dont think organized religion is the evil...I think its some of the people who are. To be quite honest, I cant think of a single organized religion which believes in fighting wars or violence etc as the means to resolve issues...

I can say without reservation that Christianity is the result of great deception, an early and very evil organized criminal conspiracy that has damaged this planet and humanity more than any disease more than any natural disaster. It is a grave danger to humanity to tolerate it in any form. It has a long exhaustivly chronicaled history of warfare conducted to resolve issues as you put it. It has also conducted warfare to indescriminately butcher it's enemys and pillage nations and cultures unnumbered. As if that wern't enough to condemn it to it's own version of hell it has also fed on the weak and the poor since it's inception. It has no purpose other than to pervert the works of man and defile nature by it's very existance.

AT LAST!!!

One of the biggest flaws in my own acceptance of a Muslim community in Canada...or the west in general......has been the reaction of the community at large to acts of terrorism.....

It seems like the Muslim community is all too willing to make excuses, to blame the USA or Israel, or to just withdraw and remain silent.....

Until this guy.

Terror as a religious crime - The Globe and Mail

Now this guy is wonderful....I especially like the bit about Canada as an "earthly paradise"

Long may he prosper....:)

Colpy,, this man has moved Islam up the ladder of my opinion, several feet!!!

I agree fully, if the community wants Islam to be seen in a better light, it needs to call out and expose those that would use Islam as a weapon.

Thanx for that post!

It says he's in Toronto, I would very much like to meet with this man, or at the very least, shake his hand.
