Muslims

Allowing faith schools allows children to be separated and stops different cultures from mixing.

This is the pertinent point. I know faith schools have an obligation to take a proportion of kids from other backgrounds but still, I don't think you can get away from this.

I do think we should be like the French and keep religion out of school and left to the church/temple/mosque/synagogue.

It's great to have freedom of speech but to use that freedom with respect for others will make for a more much more pleasant and peaceful world.

I think we need to be offensive occasionally. We need satire to hold politicians and those with power in society up to ridicule. And those pious, finger wagging blokes with long beards shouldn't be exempt from that.

This bloke would take a lumping hammer to Michelangelo's statue of David.

The strict outlawing of images of Mohammed or it seems any human form is a relatively new thing. The British museum have quietly put away all their artwork featuring images of the prophet for fear of them upsetting Islamic sensibilities. Despite most of it being created by Islamic artists.

So the cartoonists deserved it did they?

I just read that report from Pope Francis and I think he makes a valid point.  The Pope already takes plenty of abuse himself.  The point he makes about personal insult of a person's mother might be deserving of a smack in the mouth is valid.  He is in no way justifying the murderers of the Hedbo journalists though, merely pointing out that many people can be deeply offended by disrespectful words and drawings of people and things they hold dear.  Take care.

I think that all known extremists should be rounded up and interred without charge, people such as that Asghar Bukhari who was on Sky news yesterday, desperate times require desperate measures, moderate muslims should be encouraged to gain back control of their faith

Totally agree. These nutters in France were known to the police. No way should they have been allowed out on the streets with their records. We should have zero tolerance for any Muslim extremism. Better to be safe than sorry.

I'll make a bet now. There will be an atrocity in the UK and the perpetrators will already have a track record that most people would think should mean that should have been locked up. While ever they display extremist tendencies then they should never be allowed out. We are far too soft.

Moderate Muslims know who these nutters are. They should be much more proactive in giving them up. We should be far more proactive in locking them up and throwing away the key. If it was up to me they would all be executed as a deterrent and to make me feel better.

One thing that should happen is that the Muslims should march through London displaying banners of the cartoons of the prophet from the French magazine. By doing this they would display that they believe in free speech which currently the vast majority of them don't. It won't happen though.

Well, you'd be rounded up then IC1969 you're proper extreme in your views . Nutter.
P.S. does anyone really say "leftie"?

I think you'll find I espouse the views of the silent majority. I defy you to show anything I've said that is extreme. Everything I say is common sense.

The Pope is a decent bloke. Far better than any Pope I can remember. However anything that is ridiculous should be held up to ridicule. Religion is ridiculous.

Ha, ha IC 1967, I would have thought that this pope would have been far too much of a socialist for your taste!
Good luck!
