llamatron Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 While we take cuts and job losses ect we still honour our commitment to give to others. Can you explain that away in a one line sentence ? This doesn't make sense. Just because people are still donating to charity that doesn't prove we are christians.

boyfriday Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I feel quite strongly about this, I think that thinking the way you do is dangerous because it doesn't explain anything, offers no solutions and is in fact counter productive because any attempt to change things can be met with 'these people will do this kind of thing anyway'. I do think you're naive, and if you really weren't ignorant of what I was saying then I think you're being even more naive. I feel quite strongly about it too, one of my children works in the capital and uses public transport regularly to go about his business, so his safety is never far from my mind. I didn't realise I was required to offer solutions, the question in the OP was about why some Muslims resort to terrorism, and I thought I answered it quite unequivocally in my first post to the thread. Incidentally, at no time have I suggested it's pointless doing anything because 'these people will do this kind of thing anyway', if you believe that's the case then you've misunderstood my position-I dont believe all sociopaths resort to killing. I firmly believe that it's the indoctrination that empowers them to behave this way, but by the same token I don't believe the dogma is entirely responsible, there exists something in their psychology that enables them to behave this way, just my opinion of course. Do you have any evidence for this or is it just a baseless opinion? In which case why should anyone pay anymore attention to it than they do when some BNP fool says its all because of Islam? I'm not asking anyone to pay any attention to it as I wasn't seeking approval, I offered an opinion, just as you have and one in which you have no more or less compelling reasoning than I have in mine.

hard2miss Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Christianity is responsible for most of the horrors in our history. Its not the reason we are charitable at all.Islam is the religion responsible for the modern horrors in our present and future. I know what concerns me the most.

boyfriday Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Isn't it because so many muslims are indoctrinated and brain washed from birth into becoming muslims and reciting the Koran ad nauseum, that it conditions them and makes them more susceptible to being brain washed and indoctrinated by the radicals? I certainly believe that's a part of it, but it could apply to the children of all religious fundamentalists, but not all of them are attracted to indiscriminate acts of terrorism.

tonkatoy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 No, it's for the reasons I gave above. I think you will find that the 2 postings are not mutually exclusive but explain consequence and action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hard2miss Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 This doesn't make sense. Just because people are still donating to charity that doesn't prove we are christians.No,but its about a way of life, a mind set is what I speak of. Like I said we are Christians without knowing it, our society is based on Christianity and thus we live that life whether you consider yourself to preach Christianity or not, you cant help but life a life that Christ promoted.

That's the problem that stems from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truman Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 what about the koran burning? You equate burning a few books to a "modern horror"? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
