Man convicted over Shia flogging
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...er/7584446.stm
just seen this on news at ten. We all LOVE a religion thread, what do you all think about this? does this prove religion is total madness? |

 As much as that guy in the news is a mad man, I don't think I would be far off in guessing that the only reason you posted this is to provoke some religion bashing. Am I correct?

Re: Man convicted over Shia flogging
Great post, not an attempt to carry on one that was closed is it?
 As a Muslim who tries to live life by what is written in the Qu'ran.. All I can say is judge a religion by what it is, and not by its followers. |

Re: Man convicted over Shia flogging
It proves how mad this bloke is, I've never sat down and read the Bible or any other religious text, a few quotes from the bible were enough to put me off.

Re: Man convicted over Shia flogging
Strangely, my first thought on reading the thread title (and having seen "Crystal Skull") was...
 Is flogging him really a bad thing...?
