Hatred and violence......




There is nowadays an obscure e-mail circulating parts of the Arab world, whereby the Shiia are more dangerous than the Jews,  implying worse or lower than the Jews !!.  So and according to Sunni Musslems the Shiia today are more dangerous and have reached  the new low. 

Now according to Jews and Musslems, [ both direct descendants of Abraham] the Christians were the norm for low and danger,  Hindus of course consider the Musslems to be at the bottom , so would a Dutchman after the brutal killing of the popular Amsterdamer film director. 

Catholic and Protestant hatred decades ago  helped start and form America, but time didn't  really help it heal or subside from social fabrics whether it's here in the U.S. or in old Europe.  The lynching of  young Palestinians  by Jewish teenagers few days ago and the non intervening of hundreds of bystanders on the streets of Jerusalem, are again and again a despicable act of violence and a  picture of this hatred and lack of assimilation.

Maronites, Alawites, Druze, when is it all going to end ??

The world today , whether it's the Middle-east or Europe, north America or Asia the ex Soviet-union or Africa or the Balkans is living  it's religiosity, it's religious violence and hatred ,  and sadly it's all there to stay.

The  twentieth century has brought with its end two of the oldest legacies of our times,  " revealed religion and ethnic nationalism ",  when we thought that such things were done with and gone from most of our lives.

We should perhaps have known better , We believed in the transformative power of reason . Maybe it's our fate in life, that, there would always be some sort of unstoppable and undefeatable racial or even a biological obstacle to true assimilation .




Thanks for your attention and time, salamat.
