That isn't Christendom though - and to be frank since the time of Paul the centre of gravity of Christianity wasn't in the Middle East, but in the Eastern Roman Empire - Asia Minor, Greece and westward to Rome. The Jewish side of Christianity under James the brother of Christ didn't survive the Jewish uprising and since then Christianity was firmly based in Rome where the term Christendom became common currency.

Chinahand Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Radio 4's The Briefing Room is discussing the subject of releasing terrorist convicts. It's always helpful to actually have some data - the reality is that recidivism in terrorist convicts is actually remarkably low - see at the 17:30ish mark for details. 5%-8% reoffend - to quote the expert - shockingly low compared to general criminals.

Freggyragh Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I’m ok with some weed smokers re-offending, not too happy with burglars and fraudsters re-offending, but in the interests of them eventually being productive members of society could accept a percentage of recidivism. I’d rather have beasts rot for a very, very long time and I’m not sure any percentage of recidivism is acceptable in the case of extreme right-wing political or religious terrorists.

I've now read 2 Freggy posts I agree with in the past few minutes. I believe I may have entered a parallel universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No country is obliged to take British citizens. Permanent internment in an overseas nation by "offshore" them to a leased prison camp. The cost would be lower for us and a useful invisible export for the nation providing the facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
