I have realised that the wholesale condemnation of one particular religion boosts the supremacist attitude amongst the fundamentalists of another. Most of the Islam and Muslim haters in the west are fundamentalist Christians who have the agenda of uniting church and state again. They won’t ever see the dung in their own backyard.
So why is it most if not all theocracies seem to be Islamic?
In my area there are interfaith councils that promote mutual understanding and respect among the various religions. The most fundamentalist of the groups don’t participate at all, or if they do they give only lip service while they promote their own partisan views.
It would help if we didn’t view ourselves as Muslims, Christians, atheists, etc, but as human beings with religious feelings or with opinions about religion.
I'm an equal opportunity believer. No matter what your superstition, I think it's nutty.
