Stop Meddling and Pick Fights With Somebody Your Own Size

Commentators et al

I do not as a rule go for a second bite of the Cherry on these matters – but to substantiate the rule of no exceptions…

The following are figures extrapolated from various Christian Synods: 
Islam is currently the fastest growing religion on this planet.
Presently, by last count Q1/2010 1.8 Billion followers
By 2050 they are expected to be just under 60% of the Worlds population – present population growth prevailing.

Not yet a Muslim (this might change should I live long enough), however, it is a benign religion which places humanity and the sciences first. History verifies this – as does the immense cruelties of the Crusaders in the name of Christianity – indeed the first recorded war criminals….. (Gott mit Uns etc etc).

Christian values, (so called) as we like to proudly announce to the world at large (so much for turning the other cheek) – are hardly human values at all looking at Europe from the 11th hundred onwards until the 20th – a thousand years of wars, murder, torture and a general ongoing holocaust – the slaughter of the sciences and the removal of vernacular knowledge – all in the name of a woman and her son. We, also lest we forget the activities of the Jesuits – have little if anything to be proud of.

The teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as well as those of Muhammad (in Islam Yesu is a Prophet) are of excellent value. That power and greed has turned faiths into monsters is a matter for man himself. Along the same line – anyone educated with a smidgeon of historical knowledge who follows modern events and is a card-carrying Catholic; is in my book barking mad – the Reformasionists comes a close second.

I wish we had more Shi’ite Muslims on this planet – The Sunni’s are a good bunch too – but without the Wahabi teachings please (1723-1726).

Folks, let us believe in whatever we chose – the individual rights of a human being personified. Let us not use another mans faith as a symbol for the ills we self-created in our own, Western Backyards. Let us not drag buildings, bricks and mortar and the Universal rather bogus earthly Father and his surreal trinity together with Imams on faithless missions into this – as I find amongst some commentators who wish for a secular Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq. A Something which is en par with the abject lunacy of the Card-carrying Catholic.

It is not about religions this – or is it? as the Roman Church has never forgotten – nor forgiven being whooped by Saladin et co – do our collective, genetic memories really go that deep? – or is any excuse a good enough excuse for the US Away to attack someone weaker – as they never appear themselves to pick on their equal or someone strong.
