It also fulfils a spiritual need. If you do not feel this, then do not deny it for others. <br />The anti-Islam campaign perpetrated by the BNP is simply thinly veiled racism because Islam is largely identified with 'brown' people. It is no more than abusive and insulting.<br />It is not religion that is the cause of war ... but political forces using religion for secular purposes.Robert Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242479962090320151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070405632903241688.post-36663414192713644102010-04-19T12:11:50.585-07:002010-04-19T12:11:50.585-07:00The religious debate is a difficult square to circ...The religious debate is a difficult square to circle. In my mind it opens a Pandora's box.<br /><br />What I seem to fail to understand is that we are still deeply concerned with religion at all. Surely, we are now beyond religion.<br /><br />Did we not experience the enlightenment? The era or rationalism. Are we not now over two centuries away from religious dogma? Yet, it is still with us.<br /><br />How is it that the powers that be have succeeded in exploiting sectarian divides or differing interpretations?<br /><br />The way I see it, we are all being played. Muslims, Christians and the rest.<br /><br />Whilst I understand that religion fulfills a social function I'm failing to understand how it is of real political relevance in the modern world. <br /><br />As a political force I merely see it as anachronistic. People have moved on. <br /><br />It is whipped up because beneath this religious politics there is an agenda. In other words, it is a tool for a purpose. That purpose is still being outplayed today.<br /><br />How it impacts is difficult to say but certainly we can say one point as a certainty. That where ever religion manifests there is war. <br /><br />The BNP is falling into the trap laid before them. The designed clash of cultures between Muslims and Christians. To a certain extent we are all falling into this trap. It is easy to denounce Islam and hard to denounce the real perpetrators to the conflict. <br /><br />Had the BNP stood outside the box we could respect them. In reality, they fell into it. It is hard sometimes not to. After all, we all believe that we stem from certain core belief systems be it heritage, culture, religion, etc. But, when you realise that you have fallen into a trap and that in the worse case it could escalate to world war than you have to either fall silent or make a stand to denouce it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070405632903241688.post-59114839337440147112010-04-08T02:46:49.397-07:002010-04-08T02:46:49.397-07:00Zionism is a plague !
