Windriverrange and all of you on this thread are right this attack by feloni herds men on christians is condemnable act is heinous and should get as much press as the New Zealand massacre did.
Terrorism by any group should be condemned. I really did not know much about these herdsmen but after reading this thread I checked and I am shocked that it was not mentioned in any news coverage.
I do not separate human beings by religion or ethnicity..Every one has a right to life
without being slaughtered by any ignorant group.
But I dis agree about that American woman not being let in. If she is actually an American citizen she should be allowed and then prosecuted as the law dictates,
All the chick has to do is get to a point of entry and if she is a US citizen she will be taken in. I don’t think she is a citizen though because if she were they (parents, CAIR, etc) would have already flown her back.
I can appreciate your ability to look at people past religious beliefs and in many places that is a valid prism to view people/society as a whole. The problem though is there are many many many places where that is THE mitigating societal indicator for laws, behavior and attitudes. Seems where Islam is a majority there is much less tolerance than where it’s not.
When I see places where people are arrested and executed for speaking ill of mohamed or can suffer death for converting to Christianity from Islam, I know that is one f’up place and it’s hard for me to take anything else that country or religion represents seriously. I’ve worked in Saudi and can unequivocally tell you the vast majority of Saudi’s hate the west and what it represents. They bemoan treatment of Muslims in the US but have no issues treating Americans and other foreign workers like shit. It ironic that the US treats Muslims so bad we allow mosques but Islam is so tolerant in Saudi they don’t allow Christian churches.
There are very few places in the world where muslins peacefully co-exist with other religions in a predominantly non-muslim country. There are even a number of majority muslim countries where they can’t peacefully co-exist with each other because of different sects. When a country opens their doors to others of different ethnic and religious backgrounds, the least those people could do is not group up in enclaves wanting to follow the same rules as the place they left. That includes trying to adhere to Sharia law in place of the laws of their new home country.
It’s nice you can look at personal action, irrespective of religious beliefs, as a gauge for judging a person. But for some people that is a fatal mistake especially in foreign countries. Will say there are five muslim majority countries I’ve been in where the niceness of the people was very refreshing....Oman, Kuwait, Turkey, UAE and Malaysia. As you I looked at actions without regards to religion. But I would also consider those outliers and infinitely more tolerant places than other places I’ve been that are majority Islam, with Indonesia and Saudi at the top.
