I agree with the underlying principle of what JK and ITK are saying, but this is not an example which illustrates it.
Zooloo is quite right. What these Islamist extremists believe really is way beyond putting the other view.
I'm all for tolerance and freedom of speech, but when it comes to insane 7th Century beliefs, I'll happily make an exception. I do believe we are having our human rights gradually eroded, and have said so on many occasions, but we are talking about people who believe in treating women like animals, executing homosexuals, adulterers, infidels, Jews, and anyone else who won't convert to their uncivilized ways. And, yes, they do advocate terrorism.
If they had their way, life would be infinitely worse than anything even our British politicians could inflict upon us.

It's slightly pleasing that someone like Tony Blair kept his man-in-the-sky delusion quiet, although only because he thinks it would go against him.
What we see with people like Bush who eagerly claim their politics are "inspired" by his man-in-the-sky is troubling.
Interesting that you don't see B-Liar's deceit (in keeping his true beliefs and motivation) secret, to be troubling?
How genuine can his "beliefs" really be - when he keeps them secret for political gain?
In that respect he's the same as the other believers, they believe until it is inconvenient to themselves.
What does please me is that in the UK claiming political policies are in tune with what the man-in-the-sky wants is not acceptable to the majority.
Although I feel the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train
