Re: At least 10 dead, dozens more injured in double suicide bombing at Istanbul airpo
We've beaten this one to death. I guarantee you there are plenty of people who identify themselves as members of a religion who do not follow it to the letter. If you want to say they aren't truly a member of that faith that is just your personal view. Not anything I can say to change your view. If someone tells me he is a Mandaean then that's what he is.

No, but maybe a prevaricator.

It is not nice to be a name caller, Dave. Perhaps an apology would be appropriate.

Because CHRISTIANS follow Jesus who taught peace and love and to not enforce the laws of the old testament. Killing in the name of Jesus is not following the religion established by Jesus while killing in the name of Mohamed is doing as Mohammed did.
Opinion isn't truth. If you want to state facts that lead you to your bizarre, poisonous conclusion then state them but don't be so dishonest to posit opions as fact.

How do you know if people have faith or really believe in something...unless they tell or show you? Can a dictionary tell you what's in someone's heart and mind? So what other religious tests do you have to prove whether someone has enough faith and belief to qualify as a true believer?

I think the various Kurdish groups and the IRA have alot in common as that they are a guerilla group, a terrorist group, a criminal group, and a charity orgainization all at the same time. Therefore, it is very difficualt to describe them. It is the same for the IRA's protestant paramiltary opponents.
Speaking of northern Ireland, maybe that peace treaty could serve as a model for the Turkish / Kurdish conflict?
After 25 years of "tit for tat" violence and centuries of periodic wars, the two tribes realized that they could neither win, nor be defeated. They then worked out alot of compromises. Some of the compromises were big (power sharing, amnesties etc.). Others were small (who can parade past what church at what times playing what songs and what street they must leave on).
In the end, the two tribes stopped fighting and have learned to tolerate each other. They still dont like each other though. But, they dont need to like each other. They just cant keep killing each other.
