Am I wrong to get upset at the call from certain muslims to murder people in the west?
Should I just shrug my shoulders when I think of those who died in the 9/11 attacks and say "oh well, never mind, it's not like I believe allah exists"
Is that what I said, its definately not how i meant to come across as saying...... The line you quoted is embedded in a paragraph relating to what the bishop said. He has not advocated killing of anyone, my point being what he's said will not climax in this happening. He's not being extremist either, in my opinion.

Now I believe in Allah/God and I was upset at 9/11 and the tube bombings and Madrid and Bali and I will continue to get upset at future such acts. I am just trying to say that in the context of whats been said (by the Bishop) I dont think its such a big deal.

Now if he said that we should go and kill all gays just incase the next flood wipes us all out, then thats a bit different, and my stance would be different. I am trying to say that we shouldn't label all fundamental followers of religion as extremists.
