Another muslim terror attack - France

What an ignorant statement. I'm sure lots of examples can be found of Christians committing horrible acts of violence during various religious festivals.

Could you show me someone that's done a crime like this in the name of Jesus please.
Or is cutting the head off a muslim thing?

The problem is the more these extremists behave like this, the more resentment will build, and the more this will self perpetuate until there's a big explosion of problems or war. Innocent people of various faiths/creeds/backgrounds will get sucked up into it for the right or wrong reasons - it's a rather sad/tense time :(

I just hope it's usual press sensationalism - but it doesn't help and continues to fan the flames about this sort of thing in such a distorted way.

Irrespective of that it's tragic news :(

This was what I was trying to say but Freefaller explained it far better than I did. I wasn't promoting violence but simply saying that I can foresee growing tensions against anyone who associates themselves with that religion.

Some of my wife's family are muslim (she isn't) and in years gone past it wouldn't have bothered me if my children chose that route when they grow up. But nowadays I would feel uncomfortable if they did choose that path. To be fair though I wouldn't feel comfortable with them becoming christian either.
 
Let's not jump to conclusions before the facts are in. Mexican drug cartels often decapitate people, not just islamic terrorists. It could be cartel related.

I think there will be a major backlash against Islam at some point in the future and muslims of all types (extreme and moderate) will be persecuted for decades.

I'm actually shocked this hasn't already happened. But the longer it goes on without back lash, the bigger the back lash will be.

I'm already done with this people, although i'm not going to hate i'm going to do my best from now on to have as little interaction as possible with them.

Just look at the civil and inter-country wars going on in the name of Islam right now to see this isn't a matter of a few people

It is a matter of a few people though. Those same civil and inter-country wars you mentioned more than likely have our (the western world) hands in them.

I am not going to hold over a billion people, regardless of which faith. responsible for the horrible acts of a single, or even a few, people.

Thats our biggest problem these days. no one tries to find out what was the motive behind a person committing such acts, they jump straight to skin colour / religion rather than if the guy was a total barnpot, or if we had recently dropped a bomb or drone on their house and wiped out their whole family.

There is not such thing as a moderate Muslim in the European context, there are only passive and active Muslims.

When someone defines themselves by a religion which is the antithesis of Christian civilization, its impossible to regard them as anything less than hostile.

Fixed that sentence for you, and in doing so exposed it for what it is. You're essentially no different from the crusaders 900 years ago and someone else 70 years ago...

Which is what this small minority want, and it seems extremists on both sides want.:(

Genuinely not stirring up religious argument here but simply making a point - can these 'extremists' not be excused (poor choice of words I know) for violence when there are over 100 verses in the Koran promoting it?

There is only so much violence one can explain away as being perpetrated by a crazy few. Just look at the civil and inter-country wars going on in the name of Islam right now to see this isn't a matter of a few people. Are Islamic leaders addressing these teachings, particularly if it is down to misinterpretation?

I'm sure you could find the same number of verses in the New Testament of the bible...
