Yeah, I'd say the Britain we used to know is all but finished. One more decade at the most.
Then, just another wild-eyed bunch of Muslims.

The irony with that statement is of course the "Muslims" (read extremists - this is their reasoning behind the Jihad) were quite happy to accept NATO help in Yugoslavia, or to protect the Kurds in Iraq but now all of a sudden hate us now we're not needed...
Hmm, thanks...
An aspect of martyrdom that seems the most horrific, is frequently addressed by Western scholars and polemicists alike, and is most quickly rejected and denounced by the majority of Muslim apologists today,[26] is the jihad seen in the contemporary Middle East. Since the end of the Second World War and the creation of the state of Israel Muslim terrorism in the Middle East has become more and more common. The theologies of jihad and martyrdom have become topical to a level not seen since the period of the Crusades. However, unlike with the earlier manifestations of jihad, the modern Muslim world now features no centralized authority for interpreting scripture and applying the resulting religious judgements to the civil sphere. Hence, jihad is now, as a recent article states, "freelance": "the result is that almost any band of Muslim malcontents who resent the way the world has treated them can read in the Koran a moral warrant for the most nuance-blind carnage."[27]

No, they actually read the Qu'Ran and live by it, Martyrdom and Jihad are actually ideas expressed in the QuRan. The QuRan is a direct cause for their awful acts.:

Because there is a central authority (like the Pope) in Catholicism their is a limited ammount of control (still evil though).
On the other hand, without a central authority, the Muslims are free to interpret the evil passages written out in the QuRan. And by no means do i agree with the Pope, it's just another dictator, except this dictator is not supernatural. And their are many cults and schisms of Islam, quite a few are Militant.
This religiion is ancient superstition and it's about time the middle east grew of it, for the sake of their own future.
Oh and if i've offended any Muslim, tough. Islam is just an idea like Scientology or any other cult, and i will call it retarded if i think it retards intelligence.
ADDED: I urge anyone to read of the passages in the QuRan invoking deteste for non-believers. If not advocating violence, it advocates extreme prejudice, we need rid of this nonsense.edit on 15/1/11 by awake_and_aware because: (no reason given)
