PB, I think Islam is the problem. Islam is still in the fire and brimstone, burn them at the stake, stretch them on the rack, not to mention the guillotine, style of olde England, France and the Inquisition. Christianity has become a more benign social club these days, though the extremities are still quite lethal [with murder of abortionists for example and weird cults conducting mass suicide and going waco, literally].

I'm not so optimistic that Islamics will become good little British citizens, just like regular people. The philosophical foundations conflict with habeas corpus and other principles such as individual freedom, free will and all that jazz of recent British centuries [still only in development with a long way to go for actual freedom].

Islamic Jihad is a continuation of religious ideological war from 1000 years ago. I don't think it's going away and the blending of populations has balkanized large tracts of the world.

Anyway, I think I'd better drop all this stuff on BBR [and elsewhere]. There's enough cyberspace ink being spilled over it.
