Who really cares what the ArchBishop of Canterbury has to say on any subject. He is just the leader of one of groups of believers in fairies and extra-terrestial beings. He is about as relevant as adults that believe in Father Christmas. It is about time we had a secular society and stopped giving any weight or importance to utterances from delusionals.

Haystack,
Never thought one of your posts would ever offend me but, No father Christmas!
Who brings my presents then.
You will be telling me next that the Tooth fairy and Easter Bunny don't exist.
On a serious note, all Christian leaders can promise is that true believers go to heaven, play harps and sit about on clouds all day looking down on beautiful gardens.
Islam on the other hand promises true believers paradise where 72 beautiful virgins eagerly await your arrival.
Now let me think, who has the best sales pitch?
Now lets see, harps, clouds and flowers v 72 virgins.
No wonder Christianity is loosing to Islam.
Now where did I put my prayer mat!

There is nothing in the Koran offering 72 virgins let alone beautiful ones. There are sayings supposedly attributed to Muhammad suggesting that heaven would offer each person 80,000 servants and 72 wives. I can't imagine anything worse than 72 wives.

true islam and the koran does not say many things that are foisted as "truths" by (not necessarily) fundamentalists especially on their womenfolk - e.g. being obliged to go in public in full burqa or not being allowed to drive or not being academically educated

Well interesting to see an ex-policeman who appeared to advocate torture, is now advocating murder.
I do hope he volunteers to rejoin the police force as a special constable to bolster up Cameron failing society.
They will need trigger happy individuals with experience to keep or streets safe.
Reminds me of the Birmingham six, who the lynch mob with members holding similar views to many of those on this thread, wanted to hang without trial.
So much for respect of international law, but do not be surprised when others disregard the law and seek to justify their actions.
But remember what you previously advocated.

As far as Rowan Williams is concerned, although I am atheist, I don't think Haystacks, cynic or aids are fit to lick his boots, morally or intellectually.

thank you for your kind and generous thoughts .... i'm deeply hurt actually, having a strong boot fetish, though arses sometimes provide an enjoyable alternative
am i mistaken, but have you actually said how YOU would have handled the situation had YOU been a soldier in the action? ...... had YOU been obama, would YOU have given strong and unequivocal instruction that BL not be harmed unless absolutely unavoidable? ...... i'ld bet not, as while you're great on the criticisms, you're not too hot in standing up and giving your own solutions

I think I will leave you to your own arse licking. It would seem more than appropriate for you.

Has if anybody on this thread or any other thread that you have started just so that your pathetic warped mind can get pleasure from winding posters up , care what you think.
Need I say this post was a reply to Fred's post not Cynic's

Fred is entitled to his views just as much as anyone else on hereis so attack the post not the poster if you don't like them , (must remember that myself).
And in the past Fred has often made many valid points and on occassions I have been on his side against the majority on here in what he says.
Keep posting Fred but please state what you would have done in possession of the same information as Obama was. In fairness its easy to criticise other peoples opinions when not giving your own so what would you have done ?

I'm glad you phrased it that way instead of "obnoxious Welshman being a fellow KNOBHEAD" :-)
No nothing at all Chris , he has often made me think about things that I believe in but to date as far as I can remember he's never made me change those beliefs.

Aye Ditto Dil. Nobody could accuse Fred of being a 'people pleaser'. He just seems to have made a career of winding people up, water of a ducks back once sussed :O)

We should all be on our guards for people acting suspiciously...packages left around the underground, airports and such...because those bastards will want to kill more innocent people because of that nutcase's death.

Haven't posted on this thread before but have read all the varying points of view if only to stay sane while minding the grandchildren-note plural and all at same time - I am a bit uncomfortable with BL's shooting but I appreciate that I wasn't there therefore am not aware of all the facts and probably never will be, that it must have been an extremely nerve wracking situation for the navy seals and that I don't know what I would have done in the same situation. I also appreciate the problems in bringing BL to trial which could have dragged on until he died of natural causes and the Americans would probably have been blamed for that to. So what's done is done it's not totally right but it's not totally wrong thank somebody the decision wasn't mine and hopefully millions won't be spent setting up pointless inquiries. What I'm trying to say is although I'm uncomfortable I'm not prepared to judge. Sorry a bit long winded
