Islam was thrust upon the people of the Middle East and beyond through violence. They are not interested in democracy, that's why it is futile trying to thrust this ideology onto them in the M.E and beyond.
Get this - he was British - and raised in a Christian household...he was NOT middle eastern.
I agree - radical Islam does have a grip - and we, in the UK have some responsibility for that (at least in our own country).

with that logic, so was Christianity but on the west.
Is that why there is a separation of church and state?
So they can fight a religious war being a separate entity itself? ie. the GOV"T

Wrong wrong wrong wrong - Christianity was definitely forced on ppl under threat of punishment and with violence. I work in the local 850 yr old Abbey - I know this.

Right - so George Bush wants to go on a 'crusade' - and you somehow thing Christianity is superior to Islam in humane terms - despite George Bush's far more impressive kill ratio.

I hate killers - whatever their denomination. Killing is wrong - I'm not religious - but it does state in the ten commandments that 'thou shalt not kill' - and the ten commandments apply to judaism, christianity and to islam.
