Try telling that to the Muslims that cut that soldiers head off. I think Islam takes brainwashing to a whole new level. I'm not sure I could have survived that as a kid.

You have a point, though it's not just Islam. If it were politics rather than religion, they'd call it indoctrination.
I think there's a good case to restrict religion to the over 18's. Then they can make up their own mind what they want to believe.

I agree with your point of restricting access to religion, but I wouldn't make it an age issue. I would just prevent it from being taught in schools. Although I would like to see all religions subjected to scientific scrutiny as part of the educational curriculum.

Wouldn't be many that would make it past the first hurdle

Can you imagine any of these religious types allowing their children to subject their religion to scientific inquiry?

Or their children reading the God Delusion as part of their study material?

i feel sorry for anyone born after 1995

welcome to sheetville where you can earn minimum wage an pay london rate for housing but never own you own house an to make things even better you can walk around with gag in gob incase you say wrong thing you must also tollerate everyone else even if they wont tollerate you back

soon you will only be able to drink in military prison surrounds with cctv an big man in black coat who strip search you before you get to bar when you order drink you can hand over a days wage for a glass of lager then you must go home before you become drunk an relax a bit

coming outside you can get some food poisoning from the late night gristle seller an then pay another day wages to get lift home in taxi as cabby only know how to get to you house by using motorway cos sat nav say so

in morning you tell all how great it was but you feel rough as you had a bit to much last night a bit to much gristle that had sat out in warmth for to long an now you sheetbox is sore from over use until diarear stop

You should write a book.."The World according to Tico", It would be a best seller.

Epic...

i thank you mr nock

It's strange how many Muslim families in my area choose to sent their children to Roman Catholic schools, in preference to non-denominational schools.

Provided there is not a better alternative for them, of course.

I'd say anyone putting images of the prophet on TDO obviously doesn't like TDO very much - please remove the image.

It's a cartoon, and that's the whole point. Why should a cartoon be a problem to anyone? Don't tell me you of all people CC, are being sucked into this nonsense.

What about the Catholic cartoon of the pedophile priests?

So Islam is to be give a privileged position here in the UK, so we are, in fact, living in an Islamic state?

I think Sunday School should be the place to teach religion, having said that the history surrounding religion should surely be included in the curriculum at schools. I don't believe there should be faith schools because it seems to me one way of segregating children and pointing out the difference. They say ignorance is bliss and I think this is one of the occasions that that particular statement is true, when we don't know the religious beliefs of a person we are less likely to judge them based on that belief and more likely to befriend them before we decide if we like them and want them part of our life.

Not at all - I just don't want to see people who post images such as the ones you've posted - or the nice folks that are responsible for TDO - murdered.

Well said Toots, agree completely, the trouble is many people tend to judge on appearances without really knowing the person at all.
