Yes, fair point. However this is just one attack in the matter of how many years? How many Islamic attacks have happened in Europe and in the world (mind you) from 2011 to 2017 and how many Christian ones?
The problem isn't just these Muslim attacks, it's the RATE of them. They're happening almost every day. And the one common thing with them is that the person that's doing said attack is following a certain religion.
But Christians don't go around bombing people. I mean, as I said, I'm not a Christian, however Christianity hasn't done anything in the past 200 years to warrant any special attention.
Yep, they certainly do their part in promoting this violence. That's a major problem.
I agree. The problem is nobody is stopping them from integrating, they just don't want to integrate, that's a problem in their culture. Their parents don't want their children to associate with Westerners. Their parents, for the most part, also don't respect the country they've immigrated to. There's nothing you can do fix this problem besides limiting immigration to sustainable levels were integrating them will be a lot easier. Otherwise we just sit and count the days until the next attack.
Re the bolded, it has, though. Hitler was a Christian. His own private views were largely conflicting and it's likely he used this as more of a rhetoric than anything else, but in the most basic sense of the word he came from a Christian background. Similarly, plenty will argue that perpetrators of Islamic terrorism are using their views as a religious front. Christians in the US systematically oppressed ethnic minorities for generations and were lynching/oppressing them barely over half a century ago. Breivik was a far-right Christian. The church have systemically committed abuse, often at a high level, and have often used their religious views to protect their own status/position. Again, the actual religiosity of such figures is often tenuous at best...but then the same can be said for many of the "lone wolf" attackers who have often been distant from the religion and find themselves drawn back to it as they become radicalised.
That's obviously naturally very different to the current problem we face, and the issue within Britain right now - although even here we saw an MP murdered by a far-right terrorist last year.
Again, I'm happily willing to condemn elements of Islam. While I think most of the comments highlighting good, positive passages in Islamic scripture are well-natured, I also think that if we're
going to highlight such passages we also need to be equally willing to examine the negative scripture within the religion that can influence terrorists.
On the integration problem, again - I'll agree with the problem, but I think you're partly generalising.
They refers to a large group of the British population and essentially groups them into one stereotype; again, it may apply to certain portions of the Muslim population, but even the religions harshest critic would also surely acknowledge that tons have been willing to integrate. And while there should be an expectation on those who come to Western nations to adapt to the countries they're entering, we're equally not helping on our side if we're going to group them into one convenient mass stereotype.
