  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

Going to sleep, will watch news in the morning to find out who is at war vs France. The French are going to bomb someone if it was the Muslims who did it.

It would be logical by recent events to presume the attack is related to Islamic State.

Not only the attack, but Islam in general now makes me feel sad. There is wisdom within it and many acts these groups are committing go against its teachings - I myself find aspects which involve influence from it, but this 'good' Islam is overshadowed now and there just seems to be a violent Islamic ideology which has taken over now. Not that I'm saying all Muslim's have this ideology of course as I have many good friends who are Muslim! But the image of Islam has definitely changed and been corrupted. I don't think it will actually recover.

Unfortunately the good Muslims are going to be the ones who suffer as a result

I think Islam needs to split - there are too many ideologies now falling under the one name - why should a person who seeks to do good have to apologise on behalf of a murderer/terrorist who in reality believes the opposite?

The problem is, extreme or peaceful, Muslims are taught and study the same book.

This goes back to Genesis - the ancestor of Islam - Genesis 16:12

Yes I agree

I was at talk about 2 weeks ago at my church about Islam... I wanted to weep to be truthfully, it was awful, they were making out well the man was that they are going to come over all of the take over and kill us all in our beds.

One women asked how close to the borders were the Muslims esp refugees.


And he was going on about how in the next 5 years Islam will be the highest in France, UK and Italy I tried afterwards to look for the statics on this but couldn't.


I do know at the moment 4% of Muslim live in Europe, if we took ALL the refugees from Syria etc we would rise to a whooping 5%.

Muslim birth rate is higher than the western world, but actually once they live in a western country and have access to health, birth control, education for women, better jobs their birth rates level out the same as ours. In Syria the birth rate was actually dropping.


I know this is off topic but what I am getting at is its going to make it worse for those people, it's going to make it worse for us all. I fear we are heading into WW3.

We are heading for WWIII - it's inevitable. Mankind kills each other throughout our history. It's all just a little bit of history repeating:

Which should really put to rest the seeming constant suspicion around American Christians that ALL Muslims are violent and irrational like this.

By the way, everyone, not to interrupt and suggest that my personal concerns right now are more important than the victims in Paris, but, before I go tonight, may I ask that you all continue to pray for me due to my current work situation, that I will find something else soon even if I do not end up getting to work with that Toxicology lab that interviewed for last Friday. The guy said for me to contact him by the next Wednesday if I didn't hear from him first, but when I did, all I got was that they were behind on discussing who to hire and I just have to wait a little longer (no estimate). I am not sure whether this is a bad sign or if it means I am still in the running.

If we enter World War 3 it will probably only last a few hours and life on this earth might be over.
