Just a thought people. I know we ALL oppose extremism in any form but we also know that extremism comes in a christian form too. Would it be too late to change our motive from militant islam to religous extremism? |

I honestly think that right now that would divert and dilute the message that we are trying to put across. The way i see it, no other religious extremism comes close to Islamic extremism. |

Keep it aimed at the most extreme of the extreme, militant Islam. As far as I'm aware, there's no other religious extremist groups in the UK who aren't Muslim. |

Militant Islam is our biggest threat right now so that's what we need to focus on. |

I don't see Christians blowing up people in this country - I think the only form of Christian extremism has been found in the US where over the last 30 years around 7 or 8 bombs have been let off at abortion clinics - I don't see even these people trying to inflict there faith on everyone, just people disobeying the teaching of their religion). As for Hindu's usually peaceful. Only in India are Hindu's becoming militant but only because they are continually pushed and attacked by Muslims. Buddhists and Jews don't really go around trying to force their beliefs on anyone....the only religion that insists on 'convert or die' is Islam. |

HMFC - The IRA did it in the name of Irish nationalism and are you going to cliam that the Catholics want to enforce some special law on the British people? The thread appears like a "trojan" and it is pointless to even continue. The IRA did not support a global Catholic empire in order to enslave non-Catholics. Yes, they were evil but the Irish issue is very different. Also, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and so forth, are religions and they do not have a codified law which supports stoning to death, killing apostates, and so forth. Pointless thread and a waste of energy! |

What a curious post. All religious extremism should be opposed, however the most pressing is of course extremist Islam. I've never heard of Hindus, Buddhists, or (heaven forbid) Christians trying to impose their beliefs on others in any serious way in this country. Fundamentalist Muslims blow up buildings, intimidate those who don't share their beliefs and regularly stone, behead and maim. Not to mention honour killings. It is also worth mentioning that Christianity in the New (not Old) Testament preaches forgiveness and tolerance. The Koran on the other hand extols its followers to violently export militant, political Islam. To say extreme Christianity and Islam are similar is to lose all perspective and is a common tactic used by left-wing apologists of extremist Islam. I don't believe this topic warrants any further serious discussion. |

Maybe once we have dealt with islam, then we can sort them pesky Knights of the Jedi Order out once and for all! I hear they are getting quite a following. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2757067.stm The Force is evidently still strong with the Star Wars legacy - Jedi is the chosen "religion" for thousands of people in Britain, according to newly released census results. The 2001 census reveals that 390,000 people across England and Wales are devoted followers of the Jedi "faith" made famous by the blockbuster films. I wonder what their numbers are now! Prior to the census in April 2001, an e-mail was circulated stating that if 10,000 people put Jedi on the census form, it would become a "fully recognised and legal religion". Next thing they will be running round with lightsabers trying to free tatooine and fighting for the rights of wookies...the world is one crazy place. All good fun! Edit: On that note we have 10k members on this forum dont we?

There are nearly 1.5bn people who follow extremist Islam. Of the circa 2bn christians very few of them are extremists. I think the 80:20 rule applies here. Concentrate your efforts where they will have most effect. |

Many many things. Too many to list. But basically if someone doesn't agree with me they are an extremist and will burn in hell. |

Hi Lee Good post. I'm not a Catholic however I do come from Irish Catholic paternal heritage. In Northern Ireland I think its fair to say that the rise of the Provisional IRA was more about the plight of Catholics in Northern Ireland and attempting to gain greater equality even over the concept of an all Ireland. However as you state not about religious extremism. Regards |
