| 1395361 | 2015-03-01 01:16:00 | I think at this point in time, it is agreed that the Muslim part of your equation is the more dangerous, at least to my knowledges Christians have not decapitated anybody of late. Wow, really? It would seem you are living proof of the truth of your quote... |

| 1395362 | 2015-03-01 01:21:00 | It wasn't all that long ago when Christians burnt people at the stake, disemboweled live victims, severed genitalia and forced the victim to watch while his tormenters set fire to those hapless organs before stuffing them down his throat. Less than 200 years ago, some of our tangata whenua were cannibals, more recently some of our parents' generation committed war crimes, widespread genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc etc. Oh yes, and decapitated people (I almost forgot). Our saving grace, so we like to think, is that we left all this behind us several hundred years ago, but radical Islamists remain mired in the past. But did we? Where are the outcries of revulsion against, for example, Saudi Arabia carrying out 12 beheadings this year alone? The mass crimes against humanity in some African nations are largely ignored, but we hear relatively little about those. The news media make the most of the opportunity to sensationalise the "news", after all that pays their wages. But the fourth estate especially in this country deserves a well aimed kick up the backside. It needs to stop pandering to its demand for profits and provide a factual and balanced account of what is really going on. :angry :thumbs: Happens in Christian parts of Africa all the time. Tanzania is largely Muslim but is one of the most peaceful countries in Africa. |

| 1395363 | 2015-03-01 01:53:00 | I did say recently. Even so would you put the guillotine in the same class as have your head hacked off with a knife? I was agreeing with you by answering your question with a statement :) The two types of decapitation are not at all comparable, it is not sound reasoning to compare a legal execution with a barbaric form of murder. |
