Regarding the Attacks in Paris:

But I don't perceive any way of getting rid of the namecallers other than putting them on ignore.

Really interesting. Particularly his conclusions about religion's centrality to radicalisation. Hint: not much. It's really just an excuse. These knobends have little interest in their religion, or those who practice it, even those born into it reject their families and other muslims.

For THEM, it may well indeed be that they have "little interest in religion." They are not muslims, they are just "useful idiots" exploited by muslims.

I expect that when they finally figure things out we will be told that at least several of those who did Paris cared not much more than a lick about jihad.

On the morning of 17 April 1986, at Heathrow Airport in London, Israeli security guards working for El Al airlines found 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb) of Semtex explosives in the bag of Anne-Marie Murphy, a five-month pregnant Irishwoman attempting to fly on a flight with 375 fellow passengers to Tel Aviv. In addition, a functioning calculator in the bag was found to be a timed triggering device. She claimed to be unaware of the contents, and that she had been given the bag by her fiancé, Nezar Hindawi, a Jordanian. Murphy maintained that Hindawi had sent her on the flight for the purpose of meeting his parents before marriage. A manhunt ensued, resulting in Hindawi's arrest the following day after he surrendered to police. Hindawi was found guilty by a British court in the Old Bailey and received 45 years imprisonment, believed to be the longest determinate, or fixed, criminal sentence in British history[1] (see also life sentence).

When Murphy met Hindawi in 1984,[3] she worked as a chambermaid at the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane in London. When she became pregnant with his child, Hindawi convinced her that they should go to Israel to get married. He also insisted that she should go on ahead since, as an Arab, it would take longer for him to obtain a visa....

Hindawi first sought refuge in the Syrian embassy after he had learned of the failed bombing...Syrian officials were in the process of altering his appearance before he fled again. British intelligence had previously intercepted Syrian communications with Hindawi's name, Hindawi was using genuine Syrian documents although he was not Syrian, and Hindawi's original escape plan involved leaving England with Syrian agents working on Syrian Arab Airlines.

After the court found Hindawi guilty, the then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher broke off diplomatic relations with Syria. Following this the United States and Canada recalled their ambassadors from Syria.

That was over 2 1/2 years ago. I wonder what part of Syria he's in now? Wait, why would anybody think he's in Syria? Better question: I wonder what part of England he's in now, eh?

But instead of being freed to walk the streets, the Jordanian is to remain in custody while the Government starts moves to deport him.

Syria's beef with Israel isn't about religion. It's about their opposition to the Zionist state
