Well, of course you are entitled to your opinion.
It was not eastern Europeans who beheaded Alan Hennings....who incidentally went to deliver aid to help Syrian children.
It wasn't Eastern Europeans who, in the middle of an English town, in broad daylight and with children looking on, beheaded Lee Rigby.
It is not Islamophobia to say that the barbaric treatment to the other branches of islam(where babies, women and girls were beheaded and IS terrorists, by their own admission, played football with their heads just because they did not worship the same islamic brand of the faith) is just plain wrong on every level........the perpetrators are
Muslims that is a
fact.
Much of the terror which is perpetrated in the west is done in the name of Islam....a supposedly peaceful religion.
Yet the law abiding muslims sit on their hands and do nothing....they do not speak out....or if they do it is in such muted tones as to be unheard.
In my life and my career I have worked with all religions and creeds....I have had no gripe with any of them....and while we are talking about religion,
it isn't religion which is wrong...it is mans interpretation of religion...the way he has twisted it to suit his own aims.
For some people religion is a driving force in their lives...because it is not a driving force in your life does not give you the right to call it idiotic
...by doing this you are being derogatory to those who have a professed faith and this is both insensitive and offensive.
I hope you prove to be right about IS not being a threat to the west, but myself, I think you are at best naive, and at worst misguided.
