I want to take a moment to say that I am so sad for those beautiful innocent souls.

Be at peace with Jesus.

I don't know if the problem is religion or if its more severe mental dysfunction, some of which could certainly be brought on by Religion.

Brainwashing is brainwashing. Enough of anything can turn a person, how exactly do we ever get rid of this? The problem exists in our heads because our thoughts can basically be manipulated through enough pressure and suggestion.

Religion isn't the problem, being weak minded is. And I don't mean religious people are weak minded or that people who get manipulated are weak minded, I think most people are weak minded because its just how we are. Most of us can only go so far and even then I'm sure we have all had someone in our life we feel we would have/would still go to any extreme for.

Since people are always going to connect with other people I think that risk is always going to exist and people could easily be brainwashed into just about anything.

Maybe we ignored the suicide bomber part because he never mentioned it in the first place. You did.

And Christians have been well known for blowing up Christians in Northern Ireland.

First off, condolences to those whom had died in that horrific affair, regardless if they were christians, muslims, jews, hindus, atheists, or whatever. They were only our fellow HUMAN brothers and sisters, despite the differences.

Next, for those of you whom think that religion is the cause, then you had only fallen the oldest trick in the book .

It had NEVER BEEN about religion. It is only a easier ruse to rise up others to perform on cue by a madman hell bent on personal glory, greed, and power.

Nigeria is suddenly a wealthy african nation from its oil. With wealth comes envy and lust. That is why wealth must be shared and refrain from overt crass displays, but unfortunately, such was not done, and death rained upon innocent men, women can children YET again.....

But it's a major factor supporter of all that is filth. Also The IRA wanting England out of Northern Ireland isn't the same as musilm extremists wanting all Christians converted or dead. It's not hard to see the difference. Also whenever the IRA would kill innocents they would make a public apology not that that resolved them of their wrongs.

Lame.

You said "Um...then what is the problem? That must be one great religion" That's what you said"

Yes I did say that and a bunch of other stuff. I am not sure why you could only read one sentence but trust me, context is everything.
Try reading it again and read the ENTIRE post this time.
I never called it a great religion. Actually you did. You had to read my whole post to get that though. I read it. What is your issue?

I gave a link to your entire post. What more do you want?

Don't remeber saying that every muslim is blowing people up. Nope didn't say that at all.

I never said you did and now twice defending yourself against accusations never made seems dishonest.

But every person who walks into a crowd and blows up people is a muslim.

That is just a complete blatant lie so your "christian" credibility just went right out the window.

You poor ignorant person who assumes that anyone who can see what's going and can see that it's only muslims who walk into crowds of christians and blow themselves up are christians. Oh and I wonder if the muslims who murderd those people said MFC just like you did, You bleeding heart you.

Now you are insulting me after lying in the name of your god.

Yeah your religion sounds awesome. I am supposed to be shedding a tear some of you got blown up again? Damn, i did feel bad people died.
Not so sure now.

You make no sense in your post in regards to what I've said. That reads village idiot. It's ok though,. The western world gives people like that disability support pensions. You'll be ok. And, sigh, I really hate pointing out the obvious but you're obviously "special" so just for you I'll point out that I'm not christian but I do see how they are being targeted by muslim extremists.

How dare you show evidence of christian persecution! Don't you know we can show persecution of other people is an outrage but christian persecution is ignorable and claiming that it happens is condemnable?

So.......yet another in a long long long long long, did I mention it was LONG, list of MUSLIMS blowing up Infidels.

The sort of thing that would keep leftists in material for months should it have happened to palestinians - not that it ever does!

Since leftists etc cannot ever CONDEMN muslims for anything for to do so would be (horror) tantamount to supporting the US, the West, Israel, Christians - they are simply left with the option of phrasing it as condemnation of religion in general as though Christianity mandates any of these things.

Close, but not quite. Widen that out to ideology & man's handling of it, and you've pretty much got it.

Do not fall for the supposed 'religious inspired' trap ever again or we will only end up killing one another while the culprit goes free counting his pile of money and luxuriate in power over others.

Just look at who is its eastern neighbour. It's Chad. A failed state and violent hotbed of trouble makers in that lawless corrupt land. Easy enough for hungry individuals to have a go with partners in Nigeria, previously more famous for its international 401 scams than oil

Church bombs , body parts and insides splatter to the four corners of Christs Church, and some defend these Islamist thugs and murderers who organise such things.

Nigeria is a nation of approx 300 million souls , half of whom are baptised in the name of Christ.

Yet like Iraq , Egypt, Indonesia, Burma,Iran to name a few , Christians are being massacred for the sole reason of being Christian by faith.

Whilst the bend over west order multi faith "new orders"...the nations most of the muslim immigrants originate from preach hate and violence against anyone rejecting Islamic orders.

Are we going to watch opur Nigerian christian brothers get slaughtered ?...or should we prioritise future immigration and refugee policy, in favour of the Christian persecuted, from the nations whom tolerate the Islamist facist attacks on christ followers?

Christian refugees would integrate much better than brain washed extremist Islamists?

Lets pray at this Christmass time for our fellow Christians who are butchered for praying to God through the son.

How do you know the conflict is so one-sided and the poor Christians are 100% victims?
