"I don't think it is right to equate Islam with violence"

Sunday July 31, 2016 Pope Francis refused to equate Islam with violence saying Catholics could be just as deadly & warning Europe was pushing its young to terrorism.


"If I have to talk about Islamic violence I have to talk about Christian violence. Every day in the newspapers I see violence in Italy, someone kills his girlfriend, another kills his mother-in-law, and these are baptized Catholics."


"How many of our European young have we left empty of ideals, with no work, so they turn to drugs, to alcohol, and sign up with fundamentalist groups?"


"You can kill with the tongue as well as the knife,"



"I don't think it is right to equate Islam with violence. In almost every religion there's always a small group of fundamentalists. We have them too."
~ Pope Francis

Non-violence is violence.

Where there is other there's always gonna be trouble.

One has no argument with itself.

We all bleed the same colour.

If you look at muslim countries objectively they actually are relatively peaceful (or were, until they were fucked over). It's OTHERS who are always attacking THEM and trying to control THEIR resources. I'm fed up with arseholes and their bullshit agendas. They need to go fuck themselves and stop poking at wasp nests.

Islam were the pioneers of every informational technological advancements we see in the world today. They were experts in their field who had minds that were before their time, who made the west look like they were living in the dark ages in comparison.
The west were purportedly to have stolen their genius and innovative ideas passing them off as their own, subduing the humbly obedient and hospitable muslim's in the process. A true warrior of peace is not afraid to die for truth and justice. Islam are true warriors of peace and love.

Not sure what ISIS is all about though? .........maybe Islam and the west are in collusion to bring about the one world order, and chaos has to be part of that order for lasting change and a better standard of living for all...but who knows what the heck is going on? It's almost like the ultimate battle between good V evil has to be fought, but then wouldn't this battle be a violation of our human rights and free will to live and believe in who and what we want to be and do, as long as it's not harming another being?

The last thing the world want's is to fall into an oppressive society, neither does it want a world of unmitigated liberty free from obligation.

I don't see how a one world order would work...I don't see how the alternative would work either, can't even see how human beings living together in perfect harmony would ever work period!!!

I guess we're all just muddling through life the best we can and that's all we can do. If it all blows up in our face then that's what ourselves have willed as a collective.

Islam is an ugly, gutter trash, line of thought. Being the product of a schizoid child rapist how can it be otherwise? Islam, however, hasn't done shit to any one. Muslims (some, adhereing to a particularly diseased interpretation of of Islam) have.

Nuthin' remarkable about this. Any line of thought, no matter how noble, has adherents who do stupid, or awful, things in service to it, so it's no wonder garbage like islam draws the loons in like flies to shit.

So, really, islam is not the problem; dumbass pieces of shit who get mired in it are.

What to do about such thngs?

Nuthin'. Take islam out of the equation and some other line of thought will take it's place...gardening, card collecting, meditation, feng shui, tanning, bike racing, finger nail polish, nose hair, genital warts, and on and on, just about anything can stand as foundation for nimrod behavior.

Intrinsic nutjobbedness plus any idea you care to name (can) equal horrowshow.

They don't need to massacre crowds of people. They are killing their own personal psyches by slow suicide, in no particular order...by binge eating all the wrong foods, smoking, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sex abuse, failing relationships, child neglect, being out of touch with nature, pre-occupation with artificial intelligence, ie: mobile phones and ipads, internet addiction, addiction to porn, toxic parenting, over use of cleaning chemicals, body hair and make-up products, body hygiene products, and toxic perfumes, air freshers, the incessant throw away society attitude, the plastic problem, ...and this is just a tiny proportion of many other toxic things people do to kill not only them self...but harms the natural environment which supports and freely gives them their life in the first place.

Human recreational hobbies to pass away the time ..something to do while we're passing through eternity. I mean what else is there?

Can you think of anything?

All religion is violence.

“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”
