This comments section contains some of the most­ ill-informed nonsense I have ever read.

It's true: "... the Muslim faith ... ­ forbids permanent changes to the body."

So how do­ Muslims reconcile their long tribal tradition of­ mutilating the genitals of both men and women? Should­ we now expect Muslim males to begin foreskin­ restoration?

To you all who try to justify all the actions with­ religion,are living in ascrewed up idiolagy. Fisrt how­ many people has been killed, tortured and who fled­ their native countries due to religion, Do n ot condemm­ the Ialam only, what happened in Northenr Ireland? what­ happened in Isreal, Palestine,Russia, al so called­ religion, the bottom line is gred for power, money and­ status, Was Sadam guilty of WMD, nobody could prof it,­ yet he was charged and excecuted for he stood in the­ way of the usa and the oil which bush so deperately­ wanted. It is not a case of religion, it is just basic­ demand from nature. all living in peace until you­ invade my territory and became a thread to my power­ then I will react and retalirate. Islam, Christianity,­ Jewish, Zionist Budishm,all you name it have the basic­ requirements, live in peace among all, do not kill, do­ not envy,do not steal from others etc, so do not blame­ all on religion, it is nature to protect your own and­ what is dear to you.
By the way I am caucasian and­ Muslim and have seen both sides Christainity and Islam,­ I did choose to be Islam

Islam unites people and it orders peace. Don't base­ Islam on the actions of its followers, base Islam on­ the Qur'an and its teachings. Search and decide for­ yourself. Think about the Unity of Islam ,it is­ amazing, Hajj is happening as we speak, millions of­ muslims all over the world are gathering at ONE place­ to worship GOD. How amazing is that?
Please do not­ argue with me just check with yourself and you will be­ very much amazed. Even better, read a chapter from the­ Quran, I'm positive you will be enlightened and­ relieved to have found the truth.

For those asking for a Brotherhood of man it would take­ there either being no religion or 1 religion for that­ to happen. Also having 1 nation.

That alone would­ start an all out war on which religion would be that 1­ religion or who would be the governing body.

We could­ possibly get away without the 1 nation but not without­ the 1 religion or no religion, look how much killing­ has been done in the past and even today in the name of­ religion.

I am not religious i couldnt care less if­ you are or you are not religious or what you belive as­ aslomh as your a good person but i am sure those who­ are religious will hate me for being a non-believer or­ an athiest. The more extreme the religion the more­ extreme that feeling of dislike or hate will be.

I am­ all for integrating, i love experiencing new­ things/cultures but not religions, you are either with­ them or against them its that simple.

Honestly, the majority here say bad stuff abt islam­ only bcuz they're influenced by the media. y dont u­ find out for yourselves instead of feeding off from the­ media? it doesnt hurt to look and i guarantee it wont­ be a waste of time.

Muslim doctrines are appealing, but their LAWS are­ killing. Believe me!!!

I have seen many many times a big groups of Muslims­ going into another Muslims house, i am yet to see one­ white person in that group or better still a big group­ of white people go into a Muslims house, the day i do­ is the day i will truely stop distrusting the Muslim.­ (whites that are practicing Muslims dont count and as­ for Muslims that arent practicing the practicing­ Muslims probably dont know that or hope they can covert­ them into full blown practicing Muslims).

This just shows how dedicated a "practicing"­ Muslim is to their religion and its quite scary thiking­ this guy lives in the United Kingdom where we break the­ laws and traditions of his religion every day, he­ truely believes this stuff do you think hes going to be­ cool with us pretty much pissing on everything his­ religion belives?

Have you ever wondered why Muslims­ stick together, why they are more interested in­ bringing more of their kind over here than integrating­ with the people who live here?

An extreme Muslim is­ just one that decided to get off his arse and do­ something about it, maybe we should call them­ pro-active practicing Musilims and those that sit back­ and let them do it for them should be called Benign­ Practicing Muslims.

Muslim who think of becoming terrorist must be lectured­ by my good boy Traore. He is peace loving lad. We­ can't live in the world free of religions.

i was born in morroco i lived as muslim back home ­ icame to london20years ago ilived withCristians hindous­ jews etc.etc in london and i find out there is no­ deferent between the beleivs they all full of @#$% so­ it all come down to humans no1will do any thing for u­ just to much talk capitalism socialism religon it all­ about how much money you hve look at arabs with oil­ look at jews with gold and diamond look at the west­ with weapon its jungl out there so if he want to­ change his body for religon Y is he playing football­ its gambling too OW he forgot

michael G is right spot on.

now2 people....all religions demand for peace and­ serenity...i don't believe there is any religion in­ the world that ask for wr and terror....we all unite­ and be nce to each other regardless of religions and­ customs okay???

whatever your religion is... my faith always be with­ the Arsenal FC !!!

You can be nice to people and not lie without becoming­ a Muslim.

This guy is Muslim, what is the problem? why everybody­ is saying bad word to Islam? 28% of world population­ is muslim, leave them alone they are peace loving­ people, no matter you are muslim or any religion, you­ go and bomb them they have right to defend their­ homeland. Its all about money.. CAPITALISM making us­ hate other people and instigate more hate on opposite­ side then obviously there will be a response, and like­ this we all will end for nothing and CAPITALISM plays­ its game, to control the civilisation from east to­ west. MONEY talks and media Kills its 2010 media is the­ most powerful weapon. Even if says they found a donkey­ in the moon I swear everybody believes it, thats why­ most of the media is control by zionists (israeili gov)­ they show you what they want you to see. wakeup dude­ stop hating your muslim neighbour

Arsenal defender Armand Traore is a Muslim, He says­ religion helps him (and this is established from his­ performance) in his personal and professional life­ (Good for him, his club and fans). People who are just­ biased towards religion would keep on shedding their­ ignorance. Light of Islam will enlighten all the­ darkness of minds and hearts! All the best to­ Traore..Muslims reading this would pray for­ him,themselves and all people around for their well­ being and istiqamat on religion, ameen.

I know they are putting him to sleep but that will­ surely be pretty sore even afterwards!
I guess it­ emphasises that getting a tat is a big deal and should­ definately have alot of thought put into it.

@ Michael­ G, both Islam and the Qua ran preach a peaceful message­ it's the extremists that twist and warp it all
Take­ Catholics (one of which I am), the inquisitions put­ countless to death even though it is against the­ religion!

It is his body and he decides what to do with it and­ get as much publicity as he wants, but his excuse is­ feeble. If permanent change to the body is not allowed,­ why do they circumcise?

Islam is a religion of peace? I see that the naive­ fools have been fooled by that message. Try reading the­ Qua ran sometime and see how it speaks of overthrowing­ and subjugating others. You haven't got a clue have­ you?? Still, I suppose it fulfils the need to be seen­ as a right-on anti-racist, blah blah blah. Muslims­ everywhere are laughing up the sleeves at idiots like­ you. They feed you a line about peace and you fall for­ it hook, line and sinker.

Yeah, slag off the BNP and­ demonstrate in the streets about them, but where are­ you when the Muslims take to the streets waving their­ 'death to the west' placards and burning the­ flag of the country that has been mug enough to give­ them a home - not to mention abusing our returning­ soldiers. Personally, I think we shouldn't waste­ any soldiers' life in fighting in that glorified­ sandbox.

Yes, easier to call others racist than­ explain the actions of Muslims isn't it? And­ don't give me that guff about it only being the­ actions of a few. Why don't the so-called­ 'moderate' Muslims take to the streets and­ protest against the radicals for twisting their­ religion if that's the case?? For the simple fact­ there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.­ They'll do exactly what their religion tells them­ to do - and you naive fools will be low on their list­ of priorities. You'll be subject to the same­ subjugation that they wish to dole out to the rest of­ us. The Muslims on these message boards know it's­ the truth but are happy that you're fooled into­ thinking otherwise - not that they'd ever admit to­ it.

Still, no doubt it's easier to cart out the­ same silly labels of 'racist' and­ 'neo-Nazi' than actually engage your brain and­ think. A frightened, scared people who want to live up­ to some warped sense of morality than think about their­ own survival. Such naivety is truly frightening!

So­ I'll get called a racist. So bloody what? It
