The Climate In The Middle East
Wednesday, February 8th, 2006The climate in the Middle East seems to be declining by the minute and it’s a little worrying particularly when you take into consideration the reaction of some fundamentalist Muslims after the Mohammed cartoon scandal.
What’s gonna come out of all of this?
I’m trying to find positives but all of the threats of violence only seem to put the power firmly in the hands of the extremists.
The Christian right in the US will most likely intensify calls for a war. I assume that people like Pat Robertson are really lapping all of this up.
I am pretty much sick of hearing about it and I think that our only hope is that Religion is widely recognised as irrelevant as soon as possible.
I do not understand how so many people can have so much staked on their faith. How can they possibly be sure that they are right, especially when it comes to acting upon their beliefs and harming someone else?
As time passes it seems to be ever more evident that the number of radical Christians and Muslims that are willing to kill for God is increasing.
These are the only people who seem to be featured in the media which completely taints the publics perspective on the issue, increasing the likelihood of converting the otherwise harmless apathetic masses into religious activists.
It seems that the law-abiding majority of religious believers are not news worthy at all.
