"A local school girl was kidnapped in Ilford and told to accept Christianity at knife point.
A Christian militant abducted a local Muslim teenager on her way to school and slashed her repeatedly with a blade telling her to recite the trinity. The militant cut a crucifix into the girls hand and repeatedly slashed her upper arms and sides during the kidnapping. She was told he would not let her go until she accepted Christianity.
The brave girl, a pupil at Ursuline High School in Ilford, was left traumatised by the attack and told the East London Muslim that although she was in hysterics afterwards, she was not going to hide in her room.
The man repeatedly said he was going to show her that "Christianity is the right religion" and then slashed her over and over again.
"He said he took me because all Muslim girls are oppressed".
After a struggle in Brisbane Road at 8.30am, in which a blade was put on her throat, the girl was forced into a car and driven to Romford in a royal blue M-plate Austin Montego where her abductor cut a crucifix into the back of her hand while trying to force her to recite the trinity.
The brave girl said, "I didnt tell him anything or recite the words."
The man finally dropped the girl off in Morland Road in the hope that her school, Ursuline High, would have better luck in getting her to become Christian.
The car had an "I love Jesus" bumper sticker and a wooden cross hanging on the rear view mirror.
The man was white, aged 25-30, about 5ft 9in, with brown hair and a mole to the left of his chin.

Erm, discuss.

Don't try and shift some of the blame off religion, it was part of this guys motivation.

Sound's like hell on earth or as i like to call it.......

Absolutely, but as with everything else we only take notice of the extremist's.
Christianity has moved away from being extremist, but there remains a core group who are fanatical.
Christianity has become a religion of apathy.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying for one minute he did do it, but I'm sure people can understand him being tarred with the same brush.
The majority of Christians are stereotypically represented by whatsisname in Emmerdale.
As much as I don't believe in the faith, I do believe with no doubt that the majority of Christians really are good people.
> People really do suck...
Aye
It's a shame this story won't be reported significantly, it might have given some people a bit of perspective. Oh well, at least the religious right will always have kiddy fiddling priests to remind them that 'their side' is far from perfect.
Hmm.. I don't like how that reads back, but I'm sure you'll get what I'm saying.
The whole evolution thing.. Hmm. Everyone seems to accept the processes of evolution really do happen. Even Forest Fan, although he insisted on calling it adaptation to save face. Which means the only issue is whether we started evolving from an original ancient organism or from the beings crafted by some god.
I figure that could potentially shape a syllabus everyone could accept.
Then again, it could probably be twisted and abused by fanatical teachers.
Perhaps you just can't win against these mongs.
People really do suck.
By the by, I picked up an old New Scientist magazine today.
Ohio's education board has managed to worm creationism into it's syllabus to argue against evolution.
Their main argument against evolution is the evidence of design, but isn't that mother natures design - the creatures that work best in the environment pass on their advantages to future generations, that way nature molds creatures to suit her environment.
Ohio's science institutes are actually sort of horrified by it all.
They managed to tone down the syllabus, namely by managing to take out references to an opinionated book and disproved science paper.
They're still not happy with it all, claiming it's riddled with dodgy material, but at the end of the day, it's Ohio's choice.
