Religion

I am an advocate of live and let live, however I do not condone radicalism in any form, whether towards religion, race or creed. There are too many "demanding" Muslims in the world who wish us to conform to their standards but are simply not willing to conform to ours, especially when they live in a country which is not their native one.

What is the problem, when you leave, freely your country of birth and move to another, to have the inability to be integrated into it? Surely, if you move, then you hope to go to better place, with better values and hopes and aspirations. Why take the old, horrible antiquated and wrong values with you? The world HAS moved on from the 12th century and like it or not, not everyone in the world thinks, wants or needs the views which you bring with you. Children born into a "new" world, want to be accepted into this. They do NOT wish their parents to force down their throats some ridiculous way of life which is not accepted by most of the planet!

Honour killings? Killing your own daughters because they have seen with their own eyes that the world is so much better than that of their parents, with that much more to offer? How can you possibly justify the taking of your own childs life, someone who did not wish to be born but was put into the world by you!!

Of COURSE not all Muslims are like this, I am talking about a certain part of the Muslim world, the radicals in one way or the other.

'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York Sept 112001 and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in Washington, and in downtown Manhattan ,  and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to the bank:

I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, believe me!! you guessed it ......

I don't care!!
