Video about Islam in the UK

I stumbled across a video about Islam and converts in the UK. I found it rather interesting.

Yvonne Ridley , who was at one point hostage in Afghanistan just after the WTC catastrophe on 9/11 (11. september 2001) is part of the 30 minute segment.

It shows and tries to explain the reasons and motivations for some in the UK to convert and how they decide to practise their newfound religion.

btw, did you know that christians, muslims and jews has the old testament in the bible as foundation of their religion ? It´s true.

Well in the segment, one muslim is qouted to say to Yvonne Ridley:

"Islam is perfect, unfortunately the people who practise it is not"

Also the freedom to choose religion is an integral part in european countries and most parts of the world. I hope that someday countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt in the future will allow people to choose and practise their own religion without fear of reprisals.

I come to think of a command in the bible that says

"You should not kill" 

I think that Bush in many ways is a hypocrite. He claims to be a religious person, but still he decides to go to war on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Like the person quoted above, you could remove Islam from the sentence and put in Christianity.

Also I have been wondering about one thing. What if the people who translated the sections about; "You should only have one God incorrect" ?

What if the original text said : "There is only one God, but he has many names." ?

Jesus Christ Flemming! Have you really found out about that?
How old are you Flemming? If you are under 14 years of age I'll excuse you for the rest of the naive statements.

Do I really have to tell you that Christianity (= New Testament) was a protest against the proverbial Jewish Old Testamentarian law religion? The one with the jealous and vengeous God remember? The eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth God remember? The sacrifice your son God. The bring me 7000 (?) phillistene foreskins God. You know like in revolution. Against the same fundamentalist shit we are up against now. That The New Testament and thus Christianity is diametricly opposed to both Judaism and Islam?

You know, that 'liberals' (på dansk: kulturradikale) and 'anti immigration hardliners' also come from the same roots, but it does not exactly makes us the same, does it?

I guess it's to big a jump from where you are to start explaining about the Haddiths the Sunnas and the Talmud, so I'll pass on that one.

And everybody lived happily forever after I guess, while the lion grazes peacefully beside the lamb.

I have another video suggestion for you here:

Hej Flemming,

Det er ikke populært at linke til egne artikler fra Newsvine. Du må gerne poste de samme artikler begge steder, men det bliver betragtet som 'unfair' at trække trafik fra Newsvine til sin egen blog v.h.a. links. Bare så du ved det ;-)
