Then it would more than likely seriously damage the local economies of most of the big cities in the UK, that rely on people coming in and out of the city.

It would also really affect the communities in villages, and "the local" would disappear. That's a terrible thing to happen in itself.

Yeah, lets ban alcohol and replace it with stoning people to death.

Yes the Mob are Crazy

I thought exactly the same.

Who is exactly is going to give Brits 40 lashes for drinking in Britain? I'd like to see them try - bunch of controlling idiots.

You can lock them up for threats of violence though - they can't threaten people in Britain with the whip - it may work in their own countries, but it won't work here.

I cannot abide how so called followers of Islam seek power through manipulation, threats and violence, and they have the gaul to condemn others.

Dilemma for me here... I personally believe the world would be a better place without alcohol (that is to say, if it just didn't exist, and never existed in the first place.. it's so ingrained now that prohibition would cause all sorts of problems) but then... I also think the world would be a better place without organised religion.

I guess if I was to attend this demonstration, I'd just have to stand in the middle screaming "STOOOOOOOOOPPPPPP", aimlessly into the void. :(

Post of the thread so far.

Here's another:

Let's adopt the Saudi practice of beheading people in public!

Why should we adopt to their practices?

If they don't like the laws and way of life in this country then they are as free to leave it as they were to enter it.

LOL at the sign saying Islam is the perfect system for Mankind.

Yeah, "oh my, he's a thief - off with his ****ing hand" :conf:

I wish these people would **** off because it always paints a bad picture of a Islam and fuels the stereotypes people believe as seen in this thread

...and what stereotypes would those be?

I'd rather Darth Vader pitch up in the House of Commons Tommorow and declare the Galactic Empire were running British affairs than have this country run under the iron fist of Organised Religion.

Medusa running her mouth off as usual.

One has to wonder, just who invented religion, and why? It certainly wasn't any of the "Deities" that are being blamed for it.

This country is in ruins. deport them

But some of the younger ones may be born in England
so deport them how?



Its was New Labour
who helped them.

I wonder if Smeagol wanted all Christians deported from America when those fundamentalists assassinated abortion doctors

There are wackos in all religion, stop simply targeting one of them

It's pretty easy to understand, really. Before there were reasonable explanations available for completely day-to-day phenomena (e.g. the sun, thunder, lightning, sandstorms, tornadoes...) you can see why people believed that there were "powerful beings" behind it; the early gods such as the Egyptian and Greek gods were the only explanations people could come up with, and stories were conjured up and elaborated on over time. Later, it was simplified by some into one "all-powerful" God (in Judaism) which spawned the offshoots of Christianity and later Islam... because, basically, as numbers increase you will ALWAYS start to get people disagreeing and coming up with their own variations, on everything.

As for how it spread, that's fairly simple too. Control. The Romans adopted Christianity because it was taking hold in the region and the old "gods" were being abandonned, and they spread it across Europe (replacing mainly paganism) as they conquered. Later, countries such as Britain and Spain did the same, but globally through colonialism / missionaries.

Oh and the country isn't in ruins so quit with that bull****, I doubt anyone would have even known about this hadn't the Mail reported. I live in East London and I noticed nothing

Religion is the root cause of ALL the evil in the world today, in the past, and will still be the root cause in the future until people realise how they've been hoodwinked for the last 2000 odd yeas

No, crazy extremists are the root of all evil.

Religion can do a lot of good for people. It's the greedy evil people who take religion amongst other things and twist it to their own ends.

I wouldn't go quite as far as that Fingers my lad. I think greed and lust for power has a lot to answer for the evils in the world. Religion often gets latched onto cos you can pretty much justify anything you want depending on your interpretation.
