"I'm not Catholic so no bias in that direction from me. But killing a Priest in a church? Have IS now gone too far for even the PC brigade to make excuses for them? And no smart arse comments about Thomas A Beckett. That was best part of 900 years ago. We've moved on but Islamic beliefs clearly haven't." I really do not think that the "PC brigade" have ever made excuses for them, have they? What is that comment about? No right thinking person can possibly condone or "excuse" repellant behaviour. Which of the "PC brigade" have you heard defending them? | |||

"OP, whenever someone murders someone else it is sad and shocking. I don't think there is any excuse. What Daesh, and those acting in its name, do is horrendous and shameful. I don't think the killing of a priest is "going too far." I think a single murder is going too far. I think the murdering of children is going too far. I think the slaughter of innocent civilians is going too far. That goes for Daesh and everyone else." This! | |||

It doesn't matter what the muslim community think - people will twist the tenets of their religion to whatever suits them. If you disagree, that's religious intolerance. If the killers believe that they're Muslims, that's what they are. | |||

That would be like saying all Catholics are IRA"I think you would do better to separate followers of a religion from violent terrorists. It is an easy distinction to make. Try exploring the Muslim religion - or Catholicism if you prefer - before lumping the two together. If that is too hard for you to follow: try thinking about a true England football supporter who loves the sport (difficult as it may be). Now think of a violent thug who goes on tour to punch people of other nationalities. There is a difference, yes? Clealy, you can't be bothered to read religious works. | |||

Just because an IS member believes they are following (or has, obviously incorrectly, studied) the tenets of the religion, does not mean they are Muslim. Killing is not part of the Muslim religion anymore than buggering young children is part of Roman Catholicism. How they _iew themselves is altogether different from how the followers of the religion _iew them. | |||

The Muslim Council of Britain endorses the statement by the French Muslim civil society organisation Collectif Comtre L’Islamophobie en France (CCIF) in saying, ‘(We) stand in solidarity with the Catholic community’." They might have endorsed the statement but you rarely see them on the news do you? Why are they not more high profile after these attacks, condemning the wankers and ridiculing them for what they are? If it makes one misguided youth think twice it would be worth it | |||

"Islam does not support terrorism under any circumstances,terrorism goes against every principle in Islam .If a Muslim engages in terrorism then he is not a true Muslim. Does seam to be a lot of them doing it thou No those lot that seem to be doing it are not true Muslims,just murderers.
Not saying all Muslims are IS but saying they are not isn't true either
That would be like saying all Catholics are IRA
I think you would do better to separate followers of a religion from violent terrorists.
It is an easy distinction to make.
Try exploring the Muslim religion - or Catholicism if you prefer - before lumping the two together.
If that is too hard for you to follow: try thinking about a true England football supporter who loves the sport (difficult as it may be). Now think of a violent thug who goes on tour to punch people of other nationalities. There is a difference, yes?
Clealy, you can't be bothered to read religious works.". Your conflating two issues. There both English football supporters, one controls any instinct to punch somebody just because the game didn't go as there'd wished and the other can't wait to punch you win or lose!. . . The two issues seem similar but in fact there miles apart, you see calling them extremists is only part of the problem, the other half of the problem is there fundermentalists and there following the fundermentals of their religion regardless of your morality, they belive there going to heaven doing good work.... What you think is immaterial | |||

"And no smart arse comments about Thomas A Beckett. That was best part of 900 years ago. We've moved on but Islamic beliefs clearly haven't." I'm not going to be smart but an interesting reference to that being"900 years ago". In the Hirij calendar the year is currently 1437. There were some quite bloody battles going on a few century's ago fighting for the soul of Christianty and it strikes me that a similar battle is going on in this religions evolution for the soul of Islam. I know we are in the middle of it and people are dieing in high numbers and we have to find a way to stop it. Perhaps what is needed is to find ways to help the "moderate Muslims" to frame a more liberal Islam that can counter that of the Jihadism. | |||

Those I have read about have expressed no religious affliction(sic) So, just wondering, if you fancied going to fight for ISIS or Daesh or whatever they call themselves do you have to be a muslim or convert to it?"

"if you fancied going to fight for ISIS or Daesh or whatever they call themselves do you have to be a muslim or convert to it?" Research suggests that recruiters tend not to target those who already hold strong Islamic beliefs or come from strong Muslim families. They look for the disaffected who don't have strong family ties and who are often ignorant of religion. They offer them a perverted purpose to those with little meaning in there lives. It's the same approach used in gang culture or other religious cults. So no you don't have to be Muslim (a famous case was a French girl born into a catholic family) and you pledge allegence to IS and their warped version of Islam. | |||

I so wanting something to change, but could you expand on the affirmative action that the Islamic community should take?" If the entire Muslim Community condemn it and teach that tolerance is the only way forward then over time it will gradually dwindle out. The prople who do these attrocities need to realise it is wrong in the eyes of other Muslins and that they wont be greeted by a bunch of vigins but distain and contempt. But the religion of Islam is stuck in the middle ages. Why be tolerant when you can have a good stoning instead. Why blame a man for having an affair or raping someone when its easier to publicly behead the woman. And so on. Until they change their understanding of their religion and accept the world has moved on it wont change. | |||

"There is friction between Buddhism and Islam that has killed hundreds, mostly Muslims. The violence is being fanned by extremist Buddhist monks, who preach a dangerous form of religious chauvinism to their followers. The following is from a Time magazine article from 2013. Over the past year in Buddhist-majority Burma, scores, if not hundreds, have been killed in communal clashes, with Muslims suffering the most casualties. Burmese monks were seen goading on Buddhist mobs, while some suspect the authorities of having stoked the violence — a charge the country’s new quasi-civilian government denies. In Sri Lanka, where a conservative, pro-Buddhist government reigns, Buddhist nationalist groups are operating with apparent impunity, looting Muslim and Christian establishments and calling for restrictions to be placed on the 9% of the country that is Muslim. Meanwhile in Thailand’s deep south, where a Muslim insurgency has claimed some 5,000 lives since 2004, desperate Buddhist clerics are retreating into their temples with Thai soldiers at their side. Their fear is understandable. But the close relationship between temple and state is further dividing this already anxious region. As the violence mounts, will Buddhists draw inspiration from their faith’s sutras of compassion and peace to counter religious chauvinism? Or will they succumb to the hate speech of radical monks like Burma’s Wirathu, who goads his followers to “rise up” against Islam? The world’s judgment awaits. | |||

There's no denying that many acts of terrorism are being conducted in the name of Islam...that's a fact. The issue that needs addressing is why those INDIVIDUALS believe they are doing a just act. It's not due to religion. It's due to detachment from society. Hatred. Lack of meaning in life. Mental health. Being impressionable. Many of these individuals were once children and part of society. Somewhere they lost their way. Be it as a result of heinous acts of war or life's path. It's society as a whole who's responsible and who needs to adjust...not just one sector of it. | |||

The following is from a Time magazine article from 2013.
Over the past year in Buddhist-majority Burma, scores, if not hundreds, have been killed in communal clashes, with Muslims suffering the most casualties. Burmese monks were seen goading on Buddhist mobs, while some suspect the authorities of having stoked the violence — a charge the country’s new quasi-civilian government denies. In Sri Lanka, where a conservative, pro-Buddhist government reigns, Buddhist nationalist groups are operating with apparent impunity, looting Muslim and Christian establishments and calling for restrictions to be placed on the 9% of the country that is Muslim. Meanwhile in Thailand’s deep south, where a Muslim insurgency has claimed some 5,000 lives since 2004, desperate Buddhist clerics are retreating into their temples with Thai soldiers at their side. Their fear is understandable. But the close relationship between temple and state is further dividing this already anxious region.
As the violence mounts, will Buddhists draw inspiration from their faith’s sutras of compassion and peace to counter religious chauvinism? Or will they succumb to the hate speech of radical monks like Burma’s Wirathu, who goads his followers to “rise up” against Islam? The world’s judgment awaits.
What is your point
That even Buddhists can kill in the name of their ideology. "My post was ment as a joke , | |||

" No were never going to fix the world. But we can start by fixing ourselves. I didn't take any offence to you having a different take on things. We just debated didn't we? In fact I'd still fab one of your pics!" Defo not on here we wont. And I agree about the fixing ourselves bit that's where it's starts. Then educate your children if you have any. And I don't mind a debate as long as no one is put down or ridiculed. Merci for the fab | |||

"These 'members of a medieval death cult' have been holding the world to ransom for quite a while. So what do they want? Maybe if we listened to their demands, discussed terms, an accommodation could be found. " Listen to their demands?! They've (Daesh) made that quite clear. They want EVERYONE to follow their idea of Islam. Anyone who doesn't conform will be murdered in a horrific manner. They don't want to negotiate, they don't understand diplomacy. The only thing they understand is fear and violence. I still firmly believe that the only people who can sort this whole mess out is the Muslim's. They need to set aside their differences with each other, the Jew's and everyone else and focus on eradicating the fundamental extremists that claim to be part of their religion (I also think the Christians, Jew's and everyone else should do the same). Either that or the world should just convert to atheism, it's easier, considerably cheaper and you don't look stupid for believing in fairy stories. MrWho. | |||

"I'm not Catholic so no bias in that direction from me. But killing a Priest in a church? Have IS now gone too far for even the PC brigade to make excuses for them? And no smart arse comments about Thomas A Beckett. That was best part of 900 years ago. We've moved on but Islamic beliefs clearly haven't. You still trying to make gain from racism? ...." Whats racist about my post? | |||

"My home town, where I grew up
And in my opinion, going too far is killing children. Making a detour in a truck to hit kids having innocent fun on a carousel 'is' going too far
I thought that when Thomas Hamilton went into the school in Dunblane. Let's not make out that only Muslims do evil things."that was a very long time ago though and a rare thing to happen. | |||

"Couple of months to get the women and children out and then nuke the whole place. Be a good start. " Where are we getting the women and children out of? Nice, Rouen, Paris, Brusells. Or do you mean Raqqa and Mosul? I assume if your planning on getting them out, you are welcoming in all the refugees? Any reason why you missed out innocent men or are they all terrorists? | |||

"I'm a non believer in the religious sense so I don't see how murdering a priest in a church is any different than murdering any worker in their work place. It's horrific but just because it's a priest the media will cover it a a lot more than other stories" Maybe it is not the fact that religion is a core element of this atrocity and I agree a murder is a murder regardless of race colour or creed. However, the reaction by the religions involved would be markedly different if it were the other way around? Let us take a little time to consider the antithesis to this situation: Two members of a white-supremacist faction walk into a mosque during Friday prayers, threaten the believers and then slit the throat of the Mullah.... Imagine the world-wide reaction and condemnation of such an act?  | |||

Yes! I well remember being issued with "smart" bullets that would only kill women, children and innocent OAPs as we prepared to liberate Kuwait. Obviously, our weapons would be useless against the invading forces! Maybe we in the West were also responsible for this? http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/women-children-killed-syrian-rebel-shels-kurdish-area-aleppo-monitor-584620462 | |||

I think you supported the point I was trying to make. The media (and in some ways the public) reaction to what Lapshyn (a Ukranian living here in the UK) perpetrated was under-pinned by the desire to salve any fervent reaction from the muslim community to the atrocity. I don't see the muslim community rushing to apologise for the actions of their "soldiers" in the hope that extremist christians will not react violently to the murder of this priest. | |||

"I don't see the muslim community rushing to apologise for the actions" within hours the following statements were made: The Muslim Council of Britain endorses the statement by the French Muslim civil society organisation Collectif Comtre L’Islamophobie en France (CCIF) in saying, ‘(We) stand in solidarity with the Catholic community’. Sadly the MSM never cover this, but do the words of the Archbishop and Pope. | |||

The muslim community do not have soldiers. IS have soldiers.
What does the muslim community have to apologise for?" exactly! It would be like the Pope apologising for his catholic 'solider' Pavlo Lapshyn. I don't see any apology for the actions he took as a white person in the name of Christianity | |||
