Don't you think his motive was more political than religious?

Islam is both a religion and a political system.

But what religious belief spurs this?

Just read the Koran. The answers are all there.

And it remains amazing that Islam is being judged by individuals while our mostly Christian nation…

I came over once from London two-thirds-full plane. The Japanese person next to me and I were chatting about the inviting row of four seats next to us. We decided that when the seatbelt sign was switched off we'd ask the cabin crew if we could take it in turns…

DerekJ: have you not noticed that similar stories, involving cops, teachers... basically all sort of people who should know better, appear weekly, almost daily, in Japan? JT doesn't make them up. Have you also not noticed that trains carriages are segregated in Japan to prevent molestation of women? Where else…

ben4short: your monologue is quite scary in its narcissistic absurdity. Your "relationship with nature" gives you free reign to do as you like to nature? I'm sure nature is eager to bow down to your omnipotence, and is happy for your to condone slaughter in order to satiate your "special,…

I went and checked the London Underground timetables and they don't run 24 hours. The first and last trains are similar to Tokyo..

I said buses, not trains. They run all night in London, and you can use even use your 1-day travel pass.

London has an extensive network of buses running 24/7. Tokyo could easily implement such a scheme.

I grasped the irony of the binary joke, but failed to grasp adequately its application to the current discussion.

The sad thing about politics in much of the western world now is that there's no viable middle ground between feeble, timid purveyors of PC dogma (Labour, Conservatives, Obama) and revolting racists like the BNP. There's no platform on which to raise and discuss logically serious, contentious issues (such as…

When exposed to biased one-sided propaganda everyone would have misgivings

I meant their own misgivings/disgust/distress at the dolphin cull.

My point about PC drones is that they don't care who or what suffers, so long as they maintain their own PC kudos. And there seems to be no limit to…
