France and Islam: why are we still talking about it?

Its organisers say it's nothing more than a nationwide brainstorming session. But to critics, France's national debate on Islam and the role of secularism is a thinly veiled attempt by Nicolas Sarkozy's governing UMP party to steal votes from the Far Right. The debate has caused big rifts in Sarkozy's own party. Why now, and what for?

YES INDEED...WHY?

Why do we waste so much time and effort debating and discussing what is little more than the equivalent of Grimms fairy tales?

And like those tales, there lies no more FACT in the spoutings of the variety of religions, from the ju ju man in darkest Africa to the most erudite religious scholar or devout practitioner no matter to which creed the adhere.

When one sits before his TV set and watches the documentary films taken from space, one can but only realise that the human being is no more than a surface irritant on the face of the globe.

As individuals we are insignificant, no more so than the individual animal or insect unit that is a fellow inhabitant of that surface.

As a group, we, like the cattle which over produces gases, claimed to add to the climate problem, none are more dangerous, in group formation, than ourselves as we rip open the earth to extract source materials, which we turn into tomorrows trash, thereby adding to the overall and seeminghly ultimate destruction of our general environment.

Yet the religious wish us to believe there is some sort of figure head above all this, one that is benign yet just, omnipotent yet blind to our individual activities.

Go blow it out of your ear you nutcase fanatics. All you are in the game for these days is to control masses of people, but I have no hesitation in telling those people they are being tricked out of their earthly inheritance by a bunch of mental defectives, and that term is aimed at ALL who profess to speak on behalf of a fictitious and non existent god, no matter what name the human race, kidded as it is, gives to that deity.

All the garbage mouthed by the control freaks about burkhas, fancy church dress, mosques, temples, and churches is exactly that...GARBAGE... verbal diarrhoea...which for thousands of years has bent, warped, poisoned and destroyed the mental and educational faculties of millions, billions even.

No bloody wonder that weird figure head of the Christian faith, Christ called his disciples,... 'fishers of men',... and their duped followers, his 'Flock', for that is how the mass are seen, mindless shoals of sardines, and mentally challenged sheep.

You´ve got to start somewhere

It may be a pain for some and you have my sympathies...but itś much better to have REAL respect than get your way temporarily and be hated. Would you really prefer to have your backside kissed today only to have it thrown out of Europe as soon as the chance arises? Some people may never fully accept Islam but if they accept you then they might learn to embrace at least enough of it to make you feel welcome. bon chance!
