Well the US has a death penalty which many countries look down on, but Islamic countries routinely put people to death, especially women, for any idiotic religious reason and nobody cares.
Good point! Actually, this how that thread got going. Someone posted about the UK and sharia law, but it keeps going back to the rotten USA trying to force their beliefs on people in Iraq.
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
You and I my friend, spent many years of our adult lives serving her majesty, and willing to lay down our lives for freedom and democracy, and for what? So a weak, spineless government, can adopt FOREIGN customs and laws - either that, or they join forces with George Bush on his genocidal world domination!Religion is, always has been, and always will be, the root cause of most of the worlds problems. One group of people insisting that their doctrines are right and everyone else's are wrong. On the one hand we have the Muslim community saying that the teachings of Allah contained in the Koran, as being the "Right way", and on the other hand we have the so called western world led by the USA saying that "Gods way" is the right way ..........
Who is right and who is wrong? Simple truth ... NEITHER are right and neither are wrong - and NEITHER have the right to attempt to FORCE their beliefs upon others, so when the USA invades Iraq saying "In God we Trust" they are no different to the Muslims quoting THEIR beliefs from the Koran .........
The only difference between USA and IRAQ, is that USA has the Army, Navy, and Air Force, big enough to force them, or ANY country into submission. Reminds me of a little man with a black moustache .............. thankfully, he got his butt kicked.
