Comment on Islamification of Britain by Jane.

I do know about Islam and it’s theology and teaching, although this only extends to what I have been taught in school and maybe this gives me a warped view? What you say about religion and politics mixing is true, I wasn’t saying they NEVER mix I was merely commenting that they are not SUPPOSSED to mix, as in you cannot pass a law simply because it is Christian.
I would not consider myself a ‘do-gooder’ but I have to stand by the fact that we must tolerate people: once this is prohibited then our democracy is under threat. Athens was the first democracy, and one of their basic concepts was eleutheria: freedom of speech. They constantly allowed people to attack their constitution because, in effect, that was what was so great about it – you CAN critise. This didn’t stop them becoming one of the greatest Empires of their time.
I am not saying that Islam is a perfect faith either. I would consider myself a Christian, but I would not say that I followed all the 10 commandments, all the time. Does that make me fake?
We have to protect ourselves, yes, and your argument is perfectly reasoned but most of the comments I have seen so far are simply scapegoating Muslims for our traffic problems or immigration problems. Is this not what happened to the Jews, being scapegoated?
