@andrewgreen5892 I would generally agree with most of that. However, as a lifelong agnostic, I have very little time for any organised religion. However, the thing that should be said is that I feel zero threat from any organised religion, bar one. If I were a public figure and publicly castigated Jesus, or Moses, or Krishna, or Buddha, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, it’s very likely nothing would happen to me. If I publicly slagged off Muhammad, it’s quite likely there’d be a backlash and I’d be watching my back for the rest of my life. That’s the difference. Just ask Salman Rushdie or the Batley teacher who, btw, didn’t even criticise Muhammad; he just showed a damn picture! Imagine living in a society where certain people are so offended by a cartoon, they threaten death to the person who showed it! If certain people are so ‘offended’ by a cartoon, then it’s time to question the belief, not the cartoon. It seems Islam is so trigger-sensitive it can’t take honest criticism, when it’s just a bunch of manmade ideas like all the rest. Never let anyone tell you it’s ‘racist’ or a ‘hate-crime’ to criticise Islam. Islam is a belief-system held by people of multifarious races. Islam seems to think it’s entitled to a free pass when it comes to scrutiny. If Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Spaghettiism, etc. are subject to criticism, then Islam is too.

The first thing that strikes anyone without skin in the game of this conflict, is how easy it is to solve. The essential point is a simple one: two peoples of roughly equal size have a claim to the same land. The solution is, obviously, to create two States side by side. However, those who do have a tendentious, non-objective point of view, namely the rabid rabbis and the mad mullahs and the perfervid priests, have served to scupper any chances of solution, obvious to everyone else. But the exclusive claims to god-given authority, made by hysterical clerics on both sides and further stoked by Armageddon-minded wacko Christians who hope to bring on the Apocalypse tout de suite (preceded by the death or conversion of all Jews), have made the situation insufferable, literally and metaphorically, and put the whole of humanity in the position of hostage to a squabble that now features the threat of nuclear conflagration. The moral of this sad, sorry tale, full of sound and fury, is that organised religion has so much to answer for, we may be here until the seas run dry and rocks melt in the hot middle-eastern sun, before it can claim any kind of alibi.
