Here in beautiful downtown Brampton Ontario, it's not unusual for Sikhs to try to kill Sikhs over "temple disputes".
When I was 12 my Dad tried to enroll me in The Boys Brigades, an offshoot of the local Baptist Church. Basically a paramilitary damn near fascist outfit where blind obedience to your 14 year old commander was mandatory. He thought it might bring me closer to the Big Guy.
I went to one meeting and got into a fist fight (which I lost badly), and said fuck it, doubt they wanted me back anyways.
Nothing against religion though, I still consider myself a Christian, but I have no use for churches, preachers, priests, and such.
Jesus hung out with the whores, the publicans, the fishermen and the adulterers, and those are also my kind of people :)
The problem with organized religion is the pompous hypocritical assholes who run the show and draw the paychecks.

Just the one it seems from that page you posted up but i can imagine there are others donating to the other parties.

It's a bit like money laundering or is here as all these aid pakages to other countries aren't done out of good will, a kind of "we'll give you money if you look after our party at election time".

Goverments are bought and sold by anyone willing to cough up the money.

Remember how the Columbine shooting started a trend in school shootings? Kind of like a chain reaction... Hopefully this doesn't turn out the same way.

As I was watching this story on CNN.. all i could hear in my head was Samuel Jackson saying:

Quote:

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
It's truly sad that people are so frustrated with their lives the only thing they can think to do is to go out in a blaze of glory and take others with them. Guns don't kill people.. People carrying guns kill people.
