sorry frank if i offended you. i quess i should have clarified more my statment. i meant all the bad ones.

but give me credit that i did say no all Muslim are bad. i just want honest answer that can you give me in your opinion, of all the terrorist activity in the entire world. Islamic / Muslim compared to all the other world factions.

i would give 95% to 5%. well thank you for your comments, i think that is what makes this a great world, so many persons with so many different thoughts and feelings. I think everyone’s thoughts are valuable, even if they dont agree with your or my own, they are valuable for themselves and for persons who think like them. thanks for the advice, i will take that and try harder to fit around what you want this website and its users to be like.

Philip, may I suggest thinking very hard about the things you are saying. This blog is not a space to call for anyone to be killed. Amongst other things, the following comment is not acceptable:

If it means killing all the Islamic people. then so be it.

If you wish to comment here, choose your words very carefully. This blog will not be a haven for the expression of angry sentiment.

I am on holiday at the moment so will not respond to your comment in full, needless to say I have some large disagreements with it.

I trust you will think about your words more carefully in the future. You may support the execution of those who specifically engage in violent acts, but I will not allow a sentiment that expresses the support of wiping out whole people groups. This is not a place to be flippant with your thoughts.

May I also suggest reading all the comments of any post you wish to comment on, you may find some of your thoughts covered and it will give you the chance to offer thoughts of more value to the conversation.

i have not taken time to read all the reply’s. but i will tell everyone this. as a human being. we cannot accept or can we condone any organization or political movement to take hostages. We as a people , no matter what nationality, should show that if you harm a human being you will be in return, harmed yourself. War and general human actions has shown us over time. The only way to deal with force is with force. I am a American, living in the Philippines. I say that let the Islamic people live the way they want to. Let them do what ever they want to do. But when they decide to take another human life into the equation. Then they should pay the price of whatever they decide to do with that human life. People, now matter what nationality you are. we have to stop this. If it means killing all the Islamic people. then so be it. do Americans, do Filipinos, do British, take hostages. NO THEY DO NOT. I was once told, a Muslim is not a terrorist, but all terrorist are Muslim. Lets meet force with force, lets stop all the needless be headings, killings, and blackmail and lets start stopping these factions which cause this and hide behind a religion. They are an embarrassment and a disgrace to the Islamic people. If it means killing them, or destroying their way of live, why should us decent, and god fearing and loving people complain. I am ashamed of this world and ashamed of politics and stand by and let innocent people be killed, be headed, for only money. Money is the evil here. Not people. Dam this world and all we live in. Lets change it before its to late.

If you think executing criminals is a useless measure then you are rejecting the word of God.

Well said.

I want to go off on one about how freedom of thought precedes all other types of freedom but I haven’t given it enough thought.

So I wont.
