Rofl. Ditto.

In other words your arguement just reminded me of that silly Saturday Night Live skit in which the news reporters fail to see the connection in terrorists and that the fact that they all have muslim names is 'purely coincedental'.
Thanks for the laugh of the morning.

rrriight. Because obviously there's no such thing as a non-muslim terrorist? Strange reality you live in.

I happily counter with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Russian_atheists
Hmmm. How many were communist leaders?
But thats just got to be a coincedence....surely.
Errr. In your reality, who commits the vast majority of terrorism? Inuits?
You are a laugh riot. Anyway, too bad you dont get the Saturday Night Live reference. I forgot humor is a acquired taste for some folks.
Are Irish surnames Muslim? The even snuck a McVeigh into our country.Rofl. Ditto.

So you're admitting that you couldn't actually find the word Atheist in the entire encyclopedia entry on Communism. Yup, communism must be extremely closely linked to Atheism. Certainly it's a closer link than Christianity, which is why Christian Communism is on that page and Atheism isn't. It's also why Marxism is talked about in common with Kibbutzes (you know what a Kibbutz is right?) .. and Atheism isn't.

Obviously. But in my youth they tried to kill my democratically elected representatives about 10 miles from where I lived, and bombed Bognor High Street, about the same distance the other side of me. So I feel quite safe pointing out that not all terrorists are Muslims.

Actually, in the last few years, Britain has experienced far more islamic terrorism than Irish terrorism. The IRA hasnt really done anything since 2001. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_the_United_Kingdom#2000-present
But perhaps you have spent the last 6 years cooped up in your lab and havent read a paper recently. So its possible you do have an excuse.
No one ever said all terrorists are muslims....simply that the vast majority are.
Comprehension is your friend.
Because the Middle East is an unstable area, not because of their religion

Uhm....the terror attacks in Britain....were in Britain....and done by British Muslims.
Just so you know.

Oddly enough I was aware of this. But it's sweet of you to try to flame me about it.
Yes, it's never seemed to be yours though.No one ever said all terrorists are muslims....simply that the vast majority are.

We don't get that programme over here. I might as well take the piss out of you for not watching a Question of Sport.

Er, you realise they all had very strong links with their familys and so forth back in the ME right? In fact 'twere this a different thread you'd be ranting about them receiving terrorist training back home or some such.
Anyway you're trying to drag attention away from the fact that you can only show coincidental links between atheism and communism. Whereas I can show direct links between communism, Christianity and Judaism. Any On Topic response or would you rather carry on flaming?

When its obvious that many communist states over the years have had more than their fair share of atheist leaders/followers/members, at what point does it cease to simply be a 'coincedence'?
Frankly, I find it funny as hell as you seem to think it merely coincedence that the figures behind some of the most murderous regimes in our worlds history were athiest.
Atheism isn't really an ideology, so pointing out that it hasn't directly motivated anyone to kill anyone else ranks up there with saying that there have been few killings in the name of stamp collecting. However, there are a good many ideologies that have implicit or explicit atheism (including most forms of communism), and some people motivated by said ideologies - who were themselves atheists - did some pretty bad things.
I'll concede that even when not leading a state, those that espouse communist principles attract violent followers. Take Jesus for example.
As I said it's not all, or even most, it's often only a minority of religious people. But such things can sometimes be attributed to religions.
As I say, the issue isn't whether theists or atheists "mention God". Talking about God isn't a problem - that was my point. When Dawkins is talking about religion, no one is being "attacked", there is no "crusade".
Such t-shirts are illegal here in the UK, because we still have laws protecting Christianity.
