Would banning the worship of Allah solve our immigration and terrorist problem in one go?

Not now....maybe we should have considered something like that a long time ago...like 200 years ago...they are already over here...and want rights too...I think we need stricker immigration laws for sure...for starts though, if they can ban the bible in public schools, they should ban the Koran...

Yes, I read the comment from the director of MI5.  I believe it is plausable.  As far as solutions, we as the public ar limited, I mean really the majority of muslims are alright, it's just the fanatics.  Should we punish them all, for actions of the few? No. However, I do feel that the muslim community in general, should take a little more pro-active approach to encouraging this type of behaviour to stop.  They should denounce hate pedalers and encourage prosecution of people who incite violence against people who don't follow their religion.  They have done this on a few occasions but more is needed.  MI5 says they are following 1600 people, good, hopefully any plots should be foiled.  If there are more bombings, it will get alot worse for muslims in the UK.  As far as apologies and running away from Iraq, that's not a solution.  Those are chicken sh*t tactics, and is exactly what the fundamentalists want, so they can spew more hate fueled rhetoric, calling the west heartless, weak, scared, defeated, and call for the destruction of the zionist empire next.  Blah,Blah,Blah.  All we can do, is remain vigilent in our own communities and rely on spy agencies to do their job.  After all, they already took away our fire arms, so we have to leave any response to the government.

No.  Many different people are behind many different terroristic operations.  In Northern Ireland, you had the IRA doing a lot of killing and bombing for years before the Islamic attacks.  All religion have fanatics.  It is normal and human nature.

It is a very intersting concern.\n\nMore and more people from democratic countries are seing that democracy cannot currently work in muslim countries. The issue with Islam is that it is more than a religion, it is an ideological way of life and it fondamentally cannot strive in a world of free thinking indepedantly thinking individuals.\n\nIn the early 90s, Algeria was at the point of electing a radicaly religious governement. They lived the worsed terrorist atrocities of all countries in the world... The people discovered who and what were these guys they almost elected...\n\nIn Morocco, there is still a king... \n\nIn Egypt, the slightest opening of democratic initiative lead to an averwhelming election of Muslim Brotherhood candidate... Should they get to power, we can just imagine Iran as a joke.\n\nIn Palestine the "people elected" the Hamas...\n\nIran ???\n\nWhen Pakistan split form India.... How many Coup ? and why ? and is Turkey really a fonctional democratic space or are we not seing signs of major regression and religious involvment in this Islamic flavored secularism ?\n\n---------\n\nSouth and Latin America was all under dictatorship rule. Latin America will not tolerate any form of dictatorship even when faced with critical issues.  Yet, the motivations and the ideological background are way different from Islamic countries. The reason democracy will prevail in the long run in South America is simply because the constitutions are based on the respect of individual freedom rather than religious precepts.\n\nIf the question would be:\n\n: Can a democracy bring a better quality of individual rights, more freedom, prosperity and security ? The answer is not a clear yes...\n\nSo dictatorship is essential if, there is a vision of the Ideal of Human Rights such as define by the United Nations. If, education, wellfare, healthcare and jobs and justice are in place...then it will naturally lead to democracy such as we are seing in Latin America, Singapoure, Thailand, Taiwan India Shri Lanka...

Dosnt make much of a difference,in my opinion,the Mullas of the Madrassas(religious schools)who preach hatered and brain wash young minds against people of other religions whom they call 'infedils' are the one's to be eliminated....coz they r the one's making Al Zarquai's and Bin Laden's out of young men.The source i.e the mullas need to be eliminated.\nDamn the Mullas....

God No! If America did that, then we would be bowing down to islamic fundamentalists for days to come.  And that would not be America.

Absolutely not, it is against our Constitution with freedom of religion. I am not Islamic, but that would be certain suicide since there are 5 to 1 Muslims, against Christians in this world. Most of America is a failure to Christianity anyway, as to what it really takes to be a Christian.

You had the bad luck to be born in a region that cares more for religion than for human rights.  It isn't going to happen soon, but I believe and hope that the removal of Saddam was a good first step in bettering the human condition in Iraq.  When the people of the middle east determine that they'd rather get along with each other rather than putting others down based on long standing religious beliefs, then we'll all gain.\n\nGood luck sir.

Good idea...\n\nThat lot deserve it for not being nice like hippies and wickens... I would not attack them as they aint hurt anyone unlike the christians and islamics.\n\n\nBetter stuill do a stone Allah and Mohummed video and chop of their limbs, and force them to have sex with someone they don't want to be with in the name of family honour... Then do a burn god at the stake vid

Yes, I would also get sad hearing this, if it was true.\n\nUsually there is no good trying to push your own culture down on the throat of people from another culture. It only brings anarchy and violence and hidden aggression that will erupt again and again in the future like a volcano - see Gaza region... hummm!\nNo comment.\n\nIs it this why you want to emigrate, are you Iraki? :)\nPerhaps muslim, too?\nCause if they wanted to convert my country to a new religion, maybe I also would take all I have and I would not stop before Australia or Iceland, nay, I swear to Allah or God or however you call him, I wouldn't!!!\n\nNo fears here, I am a neutral and international kid. European. Free thinker.\n\nOkay, thanx for 10 points, anyway! It was a nice surprise. This week it was the second best answer I got!\n:)

Get the religions to agree. All the problems would then be solved.But who is right?\nThere is no ideal president. Democracy makes no allowance for idealism.Take care my friend. take a look at http://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com for some fun insight into life.

Certainly. In fact, if ALL religions were equally respected or if ALL religions were equally non-existant, we would have a LOT more peace than we do now.

Good question, it could be.  What they riots definitely don't do is improve the image of muslims in the eyes of the world.  Hopefully these riots will serve as a wake up call to the leaders of islam that there are problems in their ranks.  I don't think the radicals will back down, even if mainstream muslims condemn them.  I read that in the middle east some muslim clerics tried to stop the protests, but were unsuccessful.  I think maybe those who view this behavior as embarrassing were already to some degree sympathetic to the west.  While those who engage in it probably already had negative feelings toward the west.  Those in between, i'm afraid, are probably going to be more likely to see this situation as an attack on islam. It may end up helping the radicals if they are seen by ordinary muslims as protecting the religion while the liberals sided with outsiders.  Typically in past events, muslims have sided with other muslims against outsiders, especially the west who they see as oppressing them, I don't think this will be different.

Stirring up trouble?  If Allah/God existed, would s/he waste time on such infantile nonsense?

It is unconstitutional to discriminate against a person based on religion. Changing the constitution to exclude Muslims would set a dangerous precedent. Having said that, I wish we could block all Muslims from coming into our country. It is a religion that suppresses women’s rights, teaches that murder will get you into heaven, and its leaders have sworn to convert or kill all infidels. In other words, anyone that does not share their belief should be killed. It is a religion that if fully realized would set back civilization at least a thousand years.

We'd have to ban all free thought while we were at it.  Good thing there will always be those who stick up for intellectuality, defending the rights of religious minorities.

I think that you are a bit too worried. I do not believe that that is happening in such a degree that we have to be worried. I know that if it starts it has to be stopped while it is possible, but I do not see how it can catch on to everybody else. Yes, there are political leaders who are willing to create policy based on religion, but I believe that the majority in power will successfully oppose those voices.\nIf it would happen, then it will be theoretically like an Islamic state. Of course, because of Christian morals are far less aggressive than Islamic morals it will not look like an Islamic state, but it is scary to believe that it is not like that just because of the morals.
