It's very easy to get angry with Islamists. Indeed its very easy to get angry with and condemn the whole religion of Islam as one which advocates acts of barbarism on a scale of such depravity. When viewed from out comfy western, still "Christian" perspective, we could be forgiven for seeing religion , in any form, but particulalry Islamic Religion as , frankly satanic.
I am sure that up and down the county and in other places Islam is being compared to Satanism, in fact, I'm not just sure, I know that it is.
But before we aim our condemning voices at the religion that memebers of these groups alledge allegience to , perhaps we need to remember what happened during the troubles in Norther Irelend, the Spanish Inquisition etc etc - Christianity hasnt a particulalry good track record of Love , and contines to brutilise and condemn in other ways.
Isis , Bocco Haram etc are no more religious than Richard Dawkins. They simply use religion to try to justify their evil cause.
