If a couple of white guys had gone to a church where they advocate the killing of black people, and if these guys killed black people, would the church be allow it to continue? What should it be different if it's calling for the death of "infidels"?
Not the best choice of words.... You can keep human rights without letting religion use loopholes to hurt others.

It's based on their reality, and one that is almost always taught to them, not one that they come up with on their own. If there are "spontaneous" terrorists, I'm guessing they are less than 1%. People don't just wake up and decide to do this because of injustices. This is almost exclusively unique to one group, and within that group it's almost exclusively done by people who have received radical training.
Let me put it to you this way. They also claim to be doing this in the name of Islam (most do). Can I say that it's evidence that Islam is violent....because they said it? At some point credibility has to come into play.
Your focus is too narrow. From Europe to Africa to Asia to The Middle East to North America, there are terrorist attacks that have been planed or carried out by radical Muslims. You would have to have a long list attributing each instance to a grievance, correct?

I don't support being tolerant of other people's intolerance. If you want to disallow gays in this day and age, pay the price for it.

Just about every one of these guys has a history of studying under a radical imam or living in an area where they go to a madrass. You don't develop natural thoughts at a place like this. They are designed to radicalize young men and I find it hard to believe you would agree with anything they say, especially their conclusions. You are here to have a discussion, they are there to get young men to kill innocents. That's all they want, and part of the process is feeding them daily outrage so they can hurt strangers.
You're projecting your own opinion onto their actions, and in that instance they seem to make some sense. I'm guessing you agree with what he says in terms of British troops. But in that moment you trick yourself to forget that he's a guy with a meat cleaver after cutting someone up. And personally, I think some people believe that if we were just able to make some slight changes then these people wouldn't exist. I don't agree with that. They kill each other on a daily basis in the Middle East regardless of what the West is doing. If he's really angry about Afghanistan he'd be killing the Taliban who are responsible for exponentially more civilian deaths.
You can tell me that he did it for the reasons he said, but he's insane. I said before that the Son of Sam killed because he thought his dog was telling him too. In his mind that's why he did it, but no one would find that to be a credible. These guys are just as crazy.

I supported it under Bush and I support it under Obama. I also support the need for regulations to create a clear path as to what can and cannot be done in specific situations. Civilian casualties need to be as close to zero as possible while at the same time not giving terrorist free reign because of which side of the map they are on today.

Welcome to 2013.
It's 2013.
WTF does a church have to do with this. They need to just go away and worry about their own and leave the rest of us in peace. I am not a member so stay out the lives of other people.

I don't think you can focus on just one country. This is a problem in dozens of countries. It's fair to find a link between how a person starts out and how they end up in radical Islam, but I'm guessing it's bigger than growing up in certain parts of the UK. Young men are turning radical all over the world and we need to find out why.

People get mad, but not many try to cut off the head of a stranger, then ask people to record a message while the stand in the street with bloody hands. But if you can understand that, so be it.

I'm still skeptical as how much credibility you want to give to the words of someone who is clearly insane. Perhaps it fits your worldview?

oikawa, I believe they believe what they are saying, but they are not rational human beings. I asked if he was a typical Muslim for a reason: Either he is which means any Muslim can snap at any time and kill, or he isn't which means he's not like the rest and is out of touch with everyone/everything else. Personally, I think he was pushed over the edge by radical Islam and my proof is that he just tried to cut someone's head off with a meat cleaver. He's not typical at all, and attaching some kind of logic to his actions just doesn't make sense to me.
Over a billion other Muslims have seen the same evidence that he has and they haven't killed anyone. He is not like the rest and he shouldn't be judged like he's got legitimate reasons to be clearly insane.
