Suicide Bombers & Religion

[Sam Slater]

Interesting discussion about religion and suicide bombings...

Just over 20 mins each, so not 'clips'.

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

One wonders who is the most EVIL

The religious fanatics who brainwash their youth into suicide

or

Those in power in the west that keep sending our young to war
(note not their own offspring)

I saw an interview with one of Osama bin ladens sons that had defected to the West a few years back and he talked of the constant harassment from the inner circle to become a martyr.

The boy at the time was smart enough to reject the idea

You mean you took the time to watch the clips? Respect.

Youtube links are becoming bad etiquette round here lately.

@Wazza - Like my new sig? Very topical I thought...

[Deuce Bigolo]

not as yet......I'm on 56k dial-up Sam

[Sam Slater]

Lol.......ok. It seemed you were replying re the clips.

[Deuce Bigolo]

Just a rant from the heart

Its not hard to imagine what is on the clips given the topic

[Sam Slater]

I think westerners take our comparative liberty and freedom for granted. The last 3 generations in Western Europe, Oz, Japan, Canada and the USA have had it handed to them on a plate, and know nothing of what it would be like under a dictatorship, or the threat of death for something you say/write/believe.

Maybe to a certain extent it's 'conform to get along' in our society, but that's way better than 'conform or die'.
