You say saomething like this: "You don't share my opinion and I take that as a personal insult. I, however, don't share your opinion, and I don't understand that you take this personal." Do you see the symmetry?
Remember the words of Jesus: "Don't to unto others what you don't like others do toward you."
You put me into the same group as Stalin. Is ...[text shortened]... ither. Just like you. You share this with Hitler. Both you and Hitler are Christians.

If you make the discussion personal, then it is personal by your coice. Don't fell insulted afterwards if someone (like my self) doesn't share your opinions?
If not, everything in this forum is insulting for you.

We cannot give the fundamentalists leeway just to make them happy. We shouldn't make space for them to spew out their twisted messages, just because we are afraid of them.
Remember - Terrorist are recuting fundamentalists to their operations. Without fundamentalists there will be no terrorists in the future.
Terrorism is not about religion, it's about political power.
Fundamentalism are the threat against rationale.
We can all buy a computer now and mix with like minded people.
And politcally we have been raped for millenia... its hard to know where to start, but you have elucidated some good points.
I wouldn't say I totally agree.
Would you say one first becomes a fundamentalist and then joins a terror cell OR they join a group ( in their naivity/youth) which makes them a fundamentalist?

Wouldn't it be great if we could get all the worlds fundies all together, christians, muslims, hindu, whatever, every single one, and stick them all on one small island and let the fight it out and who ever wins, we inject with a dumb drug. (it makes them incapable of fighting anymore)

If everybody agree to everyone, then life would really be dull.
It's certainly okay that you don't agree with everything I say.
Young people are often seekers. Seekers of some deeper wisdom. A lot of organizations offers this to them. They say. Some tries to program people to think in a unified way. Someones offers costly education to give them this wisdom of theirs. If they succeed with the seekers, then they will have a true fundamentalists eventually.
The thing is that wisdom cannot ever be taught. It comes naturally with experience and age. Therefore terrorists cannot ever be sought by elder people, if they are not fundamentalists of course, because elder people is generally more experienced, and don't hunger for artificial wisdom. Have you ever seen a suicide bomber over 60 years of age? No, neither have I.
But you can also be a fundamentalist as a child of a fundamentalist. Those are generally not becoming terrorists. Seekers becoming fundamentalists are more prone to become a terrorist. With this I wouldn't say that every fundamentalist becomes a terrorist, but every terrorist has once been a fundamentalist.
This is my opinions. This is not a universal scientific truth.

We should be thankful that Muslims are still only about 5% of the UK population.
Get over this "us & them" mentality. Nobody is inherenly evil. Nobody enjoys seeing people die.
Also to whoever said "There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim" - I beg to differ. Religious Muslims make up about 30-40 percent of the population over here in Turkey. The majority is mild to moderate about their religious beliefs. In fact, I'd bet most Western countries are more religious.
