Also:
It isn't just the West they are determined to undermine. They are waging wars of terror all over the world with the sole purpose of imposing their fundamentalist ideology. This is not just a West vs. radical Islam issue.
so sad.

i love going there not as a tourist, but just blending in and spending time with locals in non-touristy local gems.. islam seems to be spreading their religion of peace throughout the continent.

christians attack in lahore pakistan.... what the hell is wrong with people..
Heaven:
Exactly, fundamentalists are killing far more non-fundamentalists everyday. And thus the reason THEY need to rise up and fight back in the same way the Northern Alliance did against the Taliban. Unfortunately, the majority of Afghanistan supported the Taliban and there was no one charismatic enough to replace Massoud. In that part of the world, fundamentalists vastly outnumber the moderate Muslims.
so sad.

I couldn't agree more. Where you really nail it is with regard to the support network. They may say the vast majority are peaceful, but I don't see that vast majority doing much about those fundamentalists who they claim are giving their religion a bad name. If only they were as outraged about them as they are about cartoons and works of fiction making reference to their religion. The vast majority may be peaceful, but they are also certainly complacent, apathetic and in my opinion, disingenuous about their outrage against fundamentalists.
It is not the place of outsiders to sort their problems out, it's their responsibility. Unless they undo the support network themselves, there can be no solution.
I will say this: letting in refugees by the tens of thousands who hold fast to an ideology like shariah who will inevitably demand it be recognized or claim discrimination, is asking for trouble. The "touchy-feely" powers that be and their supporters aren't thinking clearly. Think things are getting bad with fundamentalism and rampant crime against the European social system now? Wait twenty years when saying "we warned you" won't mean a damn thing.
hello, i thought i should introduce myself.
first, i apologize if my writing is not too good because english is not my first language.
my name is art and i am 25 years of age.
found this picture on the twitter account and it makes a wider perspective to me.. the jw religion is so part of the american way of life, just like the other religions in the us.. in the jw growth rate country's there is a market for this "better" life.
the religion makes it possible.. western europe had that marketing mix need after world war 2 and maybe a part of the cold war.. see the picture, and you know, the similarities with the jw religion, the change will be in details and not fundamental.. gorby.

Very interesting. I also wonder if the proliferation of readily available information, knowledge and discourse made available by the internet hasn't contributed to the accelerated decrease in religious following. Another contributing factor may be more people live in cities than ever before, where philosophy, science, politics and sociology are staples of the average discussion. I know that in countries where there is either no internet or regulated Internet, religion is often still the mainstay of the vast majority. Yet even in those countries it's in cities where one is most likely to find those denouncing religious ideology.
30 years is a long time in the life of a human yet little is written about this time frame,l wonder why?
just imagine the panic.disbelief.oh my god they were right.then you pee in your pants.what will l do?the plea for forgiveness.please let me through.l promise l''ll change.l didn;t mean what l said on that jw.com site.l was jokin.then you wake up it was only a dream.disbelief turns to relief.
but it could happen..
