2000 killed in Nigeria but I guess darkies don't count: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/09/boko-haram-deadliest-massacre-baga-nigeria Tiny minority. Not a threat.
With that excuse Islamic nutters could get away with killing a million people as long as it was a low percentage of the total muslim population doing the killing. The fact remains there seem to be a lot of Muslims that take the Koran too literally and exercise the convert or die approach to spreading their religeon of Peace.
Mike reminds me of Father Ted: "There's 200 million catholic priests in the world, if 5 percent are *****philes, that's still only 10 million".
Eddie is right about one thing, there's a lot of sheep who can't distinguish a couple of sensational news broadcasts from real life. You boys want to alter a peaceful and tolerant democratic system towards a more authoritarian system, to fight against threat which barely exists (to us) - and the single biggest reason there is any threat (to us) is because of the historic actions of our various countries invading other countries, or showing unquestioning support towards Israel.

So Islam doesn't have a problem then Mick? The tendency of muslims to blow ****ers up in the name of allah isall down to the history of western imperialism is it? Well seeing as a huge part of the population of the British empire were Hindus and Buddhists, why are there so few buddhist jihadis? Also, all those women walking around European cities dressed up like guiness bottles (and there has been a significant increase of late) are all enjoying the fruits of increased liberalism, are they?
I didn't say that. I'm saying the problem is not threatening enough for us to change our system of liberalism - what those women wear is none of my business, and it's no business of the state interfering in peaceful private life.
And what went on in church orphanages in Ireland is no one's business either? What Jimmy Saville got up to in Stoke Mandeville was no one's business? Yeah, best just all mind our own business and look the other way.
It's the politics of fear. You can't see the ****s in power robbing you blind if you are hiding under the bed. Freedoms are being eroded on the basis of threats that are virtually non existent. We are moving towards an Orwellian society and most people are welcoming it with open arms. "Keep us safe big brother"
Why did you not highlight 'interfering in peaceful private life'? As far as I am aware wearing a big stupid black dress does not hurt anyone else and they are doing it voluntarily - obviously I'd prefer they were more liberal like us, but I think it would be a contradiction to force a group to be more liberal...
You live in the Isle of man not Nigeria , I'm pretty sure if 2000 people were slaughtered on your little Island that would be considered pretty devastating. Yet again you try to pigeon hole me into someone who wants more state control of it's citizens or anti Islam like last time. The number of people carrying out murder in the name of religeon is relatively small compared to the global population but i'm pretty sure the percentage of those doing it in the name of Islam compared to all the other faiths is quite considerable. Your Catholic IRA don't even bother blowing up dustbins or horses anymore .
