I'm an atheist, I'm generally highly suspicious of religion and religious figures.. but I strongly respect Rowan Williams.

Religion is no a moremore dangerous idea than the moral relativism from nihilism and atheism.

Islam in India and the goal of Islam:

Co-existence in fact, has always been a way of life in India, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Bahais all have found home and safe refuge in this great country, however, the only exception to these immigrants was the Muslims, who did not come to adapt themselves to the local culture and live in peace and harmony.

Their aim? to subdue the native populations and flutter the flag of Islam.

Islamization of India was the main aim of the invaders.

Arch. of Canterbury

"It is all too easy to go along with the assumption that Christianity is an IMPORT TO the Middle East rather than an export from it.

For 2000yrs the Christian presence in the Middle East has been an integral part of successive civilisations - a dominant presence in the Byzantine era, a culturally very active partner in the early Muslim centuries.

A patient and long-suffering element, of the Middle East, in the complex mosaic of ethnic jurisdictions within the Ottoman empire."

@tomsega this.

Muslims are not happy! in Gaza, Egypt, Libya, Pakiland, Syria etc

So, where are they happy? In UK, USA, Australia, Sweden, France etc

They’re happy in Countries that are not Muslim.

And who do they blame?

Not Islam - Not their Mullahs - Not themselves

They Blame the Nations which gave them succour when they went begging for 1/2 a slice of bread to eat

THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN! & WANT

TO CHANGE THEM TO BE LIKE THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM

WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY

A French minister Jeannette Bougrab of Algerian origin said: “It’s very worrying, I don’t know of any moderate Islam.There are no half measures with sharia, you can make all the theological, literal or fundamental interpretations of it that you like but law based on sharia is inevitably a restriction on freedom, especially freedom of conscience. I am shocked that those who have rights and freedoms here gave their votes to a religious party,” she said.(Al Arabiya, 1.12.11)
