The Bishop is stuck on stupid.

[Shadowstrike]

I swear to God, my head is gonna explode!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The same may be said of Cottonmouth Moccasins!

[ken21]

I read Bishop and thought, what the heck. But then I read Church of England and it all made sense. I guess sucking up to islamists in England isn’t enough for these idiots.

conviction to faith and sense of loyalty to each other

I see this as symptomatic of a distasteful facet of the English character that saw many of them support the Nazis in the Thirties: authoritarian, totalitarian, antisemitic.

“The Taliban can perhaps be admired for their conviction to their faith and their sense of loyalty to each other.”

Would Bishop Venner approve of Christians showing the same conviction to their faith and sense of loyalty by slaughtering Muslims? And each other?

Most of those killed by the Taliban are, of course, other Muslims.

The Bishop isn't speaking as a Leader of the Faith. He speaks as a politically correct wimp.

[Islaminaction]

Can they be admired for what they would do to Christianity if given the chance? Does this idiot admire Hitler for his dedication?

[freekitty]

Is this bishop nuts?

Alright...if I ever was going to get banned; this is the day and this is the moment.

If you’re under age 18, are physically or mentally ill stay off this thread.

Thank you.

I hear Satan is particularly committed to his doctrine.

First we start by looking at key words.

Teenage bombers are rescued from Taleban suicide training camps

Murad Ali, one of five schoolboy suicide bombers rescued from a Taleban training camp, looks haggard beyond his 13 years.

He was thrilled at first when he was given a gun, but Murad told The Times last week of his ordeal at the hands of the Islamists, who have kidnapped 1,500 children like him to prepare for their fatal missions.

Murad was studying in class five in Mingora, the main city in northwest Pakistan’s Swat Valley, when the Islamists abducted him and took him to their remote mountain base in Chuprial.

Looking drained in his smudged clothes and dirty sandals, he gave a glimpse into the short life that awaits boys who are taken by the Taleban.

The next stage of his training included 16 hours a day of physical exercise and psychological indoctrination. “My instructor told me that martyrdom is the biggest reward of Allah,” Murad said quietly.

Another boy, Abdul Wahab, 15, said that the Taleban lured him to the camp from his studies at a madrassa — Islamic school — in Mingora. “I was told that it was a religious duty of every Muslim to get training to fight the enemies of Islam,” he said.

He said that he did not appreciate what he would be asked to do. “I panicked when a few days later I was told that I would be getting training for suicide bombing,” he said.
