I have explained why I think Islam sucks, maybe you could explain why you think it rocks. You won't hear a word said against is brutal, misogynist practices, without bringing some irrelevant historical event, or complete carp into the argument. Read my post it was about who had killed the most people |

Thanks for your contribution but the point has already been covered.
Would you care to comment on the topic, which currently is Faith schools and their role in a modern secular society. I agree that no public money should be used to fund faith schools and ideally religious indoctrination should be banned in all schools. They are divisive and anachronistic. That's all of us then isn't it? |
Re: British standards ???
I am against all religious extremists, from Muslims to nutters in the US who belong to strange Christian sects.
The problem is not Islam or Christianty or Taoism etc etc, the problem is mankind using a religion as a cloak for their extreme behaviour. Me Me and others believe that Islam is the cause of todays problems, in the past it was the Jews, or Protestants or Catholics. Finding a scapegoat is the path that some take who will not or cannot face up to the problems in what they believe to be their superior society. This debate has been going on for as long as man has been on the earth and will probably continue for as long as we survive as a species. The bones hundreds of millions are evidence of this. |

LOL of course I can guess. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that when I first discovered this forum the poster I really appreciated the most was your hubbie JLFS. I found his posts on Spain to be very realistic and no rose tinted glasses, a bit like your posts in fact.

I rarely respond to you as I am convinced you are just a troll but I think if you take all recorded history, then religion (Islam Christainity etc) has over the centuries certainly killed a lot more people than Hitler or Stalin.
The Islamic conquest of India from 100 Ad to 1500 ad is supposed to have cost the lives of 100 Millions indians Youy make my point for me, but for one thing it was not an Islamic conquest and your dates are wrong but a Persian, Mongol and Afghanistan conquest over the centuries who just happened to be Muslims. The Mongols of Ghengis khan also killed untold millions ( many of them Muslim ) and they had their own religion. The Americans who killed or whose actions resulted in the virtual extermination of the native americans, the Spanish conquitstadors who behaved in a similar way in S America would have called themselves Christians excusing what they did as being " Gods Work ". Religion was not the cause it was one group seeking control over another and their land and possesions, You want to label one religion as the cause of evil, that is just a convenient excuse. It is mankind who is the cause of evil when standards slip. Marx got one thing right when he said that " Religion is the opiate of the masses " |

It wasn't a Islamic conquest of India, just a conquest by Muslims who happened to be Islamic If I wasn't 100% certain your are a troll before, now I have no doubts Here is a link so you can educate yourself on the subject http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_India |

Re: British standards ???
Clearly MFH has no understanding of history either.
Was the Spanish conquest of S America a Catholic conquest or a Spanish one. Were the various British conquests around the world a Christian conquest or just Empire building. I suggest you read some informative history books not that used by 11 year olds to cram for a history test. The mughols, Persians , Afghans may have been muslim but they were empire building not setting out as their priority to spread a religion ,not acting together in fact thet fought each other over Indian territory. The Turks ( Muslim ) did NOT enforce their beliefs in those parts of Europe they conquered as with the others, empire building. |
