Please note bold aspect of my post.

your mealy mouthed attempt at generalising all religions into your narrative doesn't fool anyone here. Islam is the ONLY religion that is absolutely intolerant of ALL others ...... you can spin it as much as you like, but you can't hide what everyone here can see and understand  .....

But Islam denies the right of any other religion to even exist, let alone allow them the right to peacefully worship   ......... and you have the temerity to use the word intolerance ??

Absolutely amazing isn't it?

Not spinning anything.

 

Just a point of view.

 

I have a problem with intolerance from any quarter...

I could be wrong, but doesn't the Koran say to kill all non Muslims? 

This is a hell of a lot more intolerant.

The   Koran  actually says  that   it is  acceptable  to  kill   if  needed  to defend  the  right  to  follow  Islamic   faith.

Otherwise   killing  is  considered   an  offence.

This is what Muslim schools teach in the UK.

As I say I have a problem with intolerance.

 

All forms of it.

 

Including using the actions of the few to condemn the majority.

 

Extremists do not represent the majority.

 

Do you have any thoughts on Thai citizens denying fellow citizens the right to worship, as mentioned in the OP?

[oldhippy]

May I suggest that you guys stop talking about what the koran (or the bible, or the communist manifest, or whatever old story) says? Talk about real life only perhaps?

 

You have not read any of those outdated fairytales, and you base your opinions on what somebody who has probably not read those tales either, has said.

Rubbish .... you spin every answer or response that you make ..... everyone on this forum is slowly waking up to that fact.

 

So, name me any one other religion in the entire world that is intolerant of every other religion on our planet .... and name  one other religion that indoctrinates is followers with an imperative to covert the rest of the world to its faith, by whatever means are deemed necessary

I don't judge majorities on the actions of the few.

 

I don't judge all Buddhists on the actions of those in the OP.

'Extremists do not represent the majority' ......... you could not possibly be more wrong ........... you want to know why ?? .... I doubt it, but I'll tell you anyway ....... it is because the extremists are rapidly becoming the majority; but you will stay in denial, which is a huge part of the problem

No, I'm aware that terrorist scum exist-in all faiths and philosophies.

 

However, I also recognise the wrongness, and dangers, of judging all on the terrorist's actions.

It's not right, and against the Constitution, but understandable.
