The religious fanatics and the people who question religious belief of others, in my books are on the same page.


What a strange opinion considering fanatics (including fanatics that question other religions) actually kill people, while those who simply question do not.

No, they're not on the same page at all. Religions should be questioned - critically, harshly.

and the irony is that innocent people are killed by these fanatics because they were aggitated and harshly critiqued. see its not difficult to understand.. and what these so called people is oblivious to the fact that people who follows these religion quietly are pushed over the edge and become fanatics


Are you sure about that? In some Muslim countries, even if you don't heavily critique Islam, you can still get in serious trouble if they find out you're an apostate.

Also, many of these fanatics need no harsh criticism at all to become fanatics. They become extremists because they take their scriptures too seriously for whatever reason, and are seriously brainwashed. Criticism will trigger a response, but they're already over the edge. So why are you blaming the victims?

and ur basing ur opinion just on "whatever reason" without taking initiate to know what those reasons are. and using example of a small group of religious people who belong to patraitic belief, which could be applied to every religion in the world (be it christians, Hindu, Jews etc) but the only difference is how you precieve what is shown to you by the media and the news which sells.. but if we were to talk about extremist in a particular religion then i think every religion or society requires a catalyst to trigger it.. be it black people slavery, Hitlers ruthless obsession over killing jews, Jews and Palenstine conflict, invading iraq or be it formation of alqaeda. the only difference between my argument and your argument is that u see it with your preconcieved mind set what NEWS is showing to you rather than actually researching and understanding who these people affected people are and do they really care about religion..being a photo journalist myself I have travelled to Sudan, Iraq, Pakistan and sri lanka and you will be suprised to see how people over there are different from these fanatics and their only advice is dont poke these fanatics it will just evoke them and innocent people will end up in cross fire.

And i never blamed victims, asking for a logical explanation for a made up illogical belief from a mentally unstabled person is asking for a trouble and no man in his right sense would do that, and as to people who ask and state their contradicting opinion on such matter will have a bad time. and again religion will be blamed
