If Cyprus was a Muslim country?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

I agree, the forum's well on its way to being a haven for these kind of people who seek only to wreck debates with nationalist rhetoric they've learned at school...


Which school Moose? The one he currently attends in the UK?

He was not brought up exclusively in the UK, therefore, no he doesn't fit the 'diaspora' model... I'm referring to those whose only experience of Cyprus is what they're taught at Greek school or what they learn from the parents and other relatives...

back to the very beggining of the thread. Religion and war do not mix. These crazy people blowing themselves up in the name of a religion are looking for and excuse. Its a shame that the Muslim community does not root out these people.

a Muslim on Muslim war would not happen in my oppinion.

i know its happened before but know the muslim community are under the impression the world is out to get them so they are more united. if the muslims divide into 'normal' muslims and extremists there will be devestating effects.

If you watched the programme on Ch4 last night detailing the origins of suicide bombers from the battlefields of Iran, through Lebanon and Israel to Iraq and beyond, you might understand that these people aren't just 'crazies'.

to what extend does a person think it is the right thing to do is to blow themselves up. how can the muslim community allow these people to think their actions are for the good of their religion. They are very confused.

Because they are that desparate and have no army. I can understand why people would do it in Palestine...but not the London bombings.
