Exasperated, not angry.
Do you exist solely to make non-contributions and snide remarks?
have you not met L&L before?

Smoking super strong skunk is a Dutch tradition.
You're either a shit troll or a shit writer. Imagine if I wrote "football is and remains an English tradition". Do you think you'd be justified in interpreting that as me making a generalisation about all English folk? That's a rhetorical question, in case you didn't get it.
Why make such a song and dance about universality? Isn't one example of barbarity enough for you?

Obviously not. Otherwise we would be up in arms demanding that all doctors should be sentenced to life imprisonment for murder because of Harold Shipman.
That is quite simply stupid. IMO, of course.
Well spotted; now for a little reflection.

Different sets of social dynamics are in play. In Catholic communities, the idea of "sin" has played a strong role in inducing shame and silence in victims of abuse by the clergy, which has actually made it safer for the clergy to abuse their own than to look elsewhere for prey.I don't see catholic priests deliberately seeking non-catholics to rape, nor jewish men going after goyim kids.
I see news articles and senior politicians and muslim leaders accepting there is an issue that needs addressing.
And I see urban75's politico dickwads harking from the Scargill-era of 1980's dead lefty ideas refusing point blank to engage with the issue because they're terrified of being seen to be in any way politically incorrect.
And sadly it's exactly what I expected to see. Makes me laugh though, if it wasn't such a tragic issue it would be even funnier.
Bunch of fucking lemmings.
It's the stonings, chopping off hands, and the like that make Islam the most barbaric. All religions are in some way barbaric, but Islam is more so than others.
Wtf is your problem? Do you exist solely to make non-contributions and snide remarks?
A rhetorical question, I take it?

For all those who harbour the misguided belief that only Islam is capable of barbarous acts, I would advise you to have a good, long look at Hinduism.

Maybe you should start a thread on how barbaric Hinduism is then?

It won't be as huge as this one...
Maybe not, but I'd be intrigued to find out nino's analysis on comparative religion in this respect.
Very odd thing to do. To deflect the failings in one set of beliefs by comparing them to the failings in another set of beliefs. I never knew world religion could be reduced to a popularity competition for westerners on a bulletin board.
There's a lot of "deflection" going on in this thread... anyone would think it was engineered so as to avoid the core issue...
As usual, you are putting words into other people's mouths. The argument is NOT that Islam is uniquely evil.

why? if the argument is that islam is uniquely evil, showing hinduism can be just as bad is obviously relevant.
Have you actually got anything to say? cos you haven't had so far.
I didn't say he did, I am pointing out that it is obviously relevant, something you seemed to deny.
