I'd say thankfully, but the fact that ANY do is cause for concern.
Ideally I'd like everyone to respect other people's beliefs, but in a world of militant evangelism, I like to fight back. I'm an evangelical agnostic, I believe people should question the foundations of their belief systems...
I support that too.
That is the problem, they're societal operating systems from the distant past and should have nothing to do with how our civilisations run. Sadly not everyone agrees...
Quite the opposite, I'd rather attack the source of the problem and not its symptoms.
Arguing...
I'm fully aware of that, (Daniel Pipes site is very insightful in that regard) but it doesn't change the fact it is a coherent and powerful ideology that you could almost argue is a logical response to Western foreign policy.

Then there is the VERY grey area between Islamofascism and Muslim ideals about how countries should be run.
Most of the EDL probably are...
I watched it when it came out, it's better than the previous films but it's still no where near perfect. Has some interesting things about human development and some sketchy interpretations of the economic system. The bottom line is that it doesn't really paint any alternatives, but it does help...
If a link from OcUK is what popularised donating then I think those people need to expand their source of influences.
Maybe I'm just a bit too cynical. ;)
It saddens me that OcUK have hijacked a charity for some free PR and the acquiescent just go along with it. If they'd promised to match members donations (even increased it by a small ratio) or earned the donation by doing something funny then I wouldn't be saying anything. Sadly this is just...
