Well obviously more so Islam in the 21st century.
Though there have been problems in Ireland with Christianity and the IRA etc.
But the photos of all those poor men and boys this month being lined up on the ground and executed for apparently not being 'Islamic' enough, is just heartbreaking.
A complete waste of life for nothing! For a book, and a culture based on what surely must be a work of complete fiction as the probablitiy of the basis of anything in these religions being remotely factual must be close to 0% .
The brainwashing of the people on this planet is truley sickening, and look where it has got us.
But what about these religions makes some people simply 'believe in them' yet some people turn into raging murdering lunatics.

Beats me, I've got no idea why that could be
I was instrumental in establishing the Israeli National Skin Bank, which is the largest in the world. The National Skin Bank stores skin for every day needs as well as for war time or mass casualty situations.
This skin bank is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where I was the Chairman of plastic surgery. This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza, who was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, after her family burned her. Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are suspected of having an affair.
We supplied all the needed Homografts for her treatment. She was successfully treated by my friend and colleague, Prof. Lior Rosenberg and discharged to return to Gaza. She was invited for regular follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic in Beersheva.
One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt. She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital where they saved her life. It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would forgive her.
This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land of Israel. It is not a territorial conflict. This is a civilizational conflict, or rather a war between civilization & barbarism.
Bibi (Netanyahu) gets it, Obama does not.
I have never written before asking to please forward onwards, so that as many as possible can understand radical Islam and what awaits the world if it is not stopped.

The IRA were not a religious based army, their members came from the Catholic/Nationalist community but that was no surprise, the Orange Order and the British discriminated against them. If you want to look for religious extremism and in particular Christian bigotry check out your own country, check out the law forbidding Catholics from marrying into the good old Protestant royal family.
NOT the Christians.
If Christianity can reform and get better (discounting nutters like Anders Breivik and the Lord's Resistance Army), perhaps Islam can in a few hundred years.

Oh, well that's reassuring then.
Indeed, you have to laugh at all these modern Britons who are against religion yet they worship the ridiculous royal family who are steeped with a history of bigotry
Indeed - most people are ordinary 'get on with their lives' people, regardless of their beliefs. If you are predisposed to extremism then you will use whatever is to hand. The extremism of the Nazis; the Pol Pot regime; Mao's red army; the red brigade; Stalin's followers... there is just a group of people who are prepared to do anything to achieve their aims. At the moment the biggest threat globally is Islamic extremism... who knows what it will be in fifty years.
Religion can fuel an extremist - but so can injustice (or perceived injustice) - or the search for personal power.
Go on, admit it. You just wanted to use the words 'steeped' and 'bigotry' in a post, didn't you? You steep something in something, not with it. Post is balls, anyway. People don't worship the royal family.
As for the actual OP, yeah it is only Christianity and Islam that create extremists, isn't it? No other religion can do it nor can non-religious idealogy. I mean, something secular like Communism or Fascism. Perfectly reasonable idealogies with no extremist overtones, right?
Same old mindless anti-religious shit. Plus ca change...
When the queen makes an appearance somewhere many people come out their their little flags. I remember when the queen visited my university a few years back, many students rushed to see her whereas I never got out of bed.
Great post.
How's the Republic doing with Catholic extremism? Stones and glass houses comes to mind.
