Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's . On this all brilliant thinkers agreed through out history . But how much is God's , and when is it due ?? on this , the mixed-up men , being very mixed-up , could not agree .
Many confused - very confused and mixed up indeed - men and women in the Arab world , and the general Islamic world , are now facing and living this dilemma , of how much is due to God , and how to render it .
How to live their lives , progress through life , raise and educate their children and prosper economically , and build stable and happy societies , and at the same time please their God , with offerings , rituals and principles , thousands of years old , only favored by Gods thousands of years old .
I say and repeat Gods , but I only mean the One God of most of our worldly religions . As most , or dare I say, all followers share these same exact feelings of being extremely mixed up as to how , and what to do , regarding the ; " how to please God in our actual times ."
The Christian who burned Korans not long ago in Florida, is trying to please his God, as the Jewish or Copt or whatever , who created that retched video were trying their way to please their God, or those barbaric attacks on diplomatic missions an the killing of diplomatic staff perpetrated by Muslim mobs who were all trying hard to please their god .
Some reflections on the not too inspiring events of the Arab and Muslim world , again thanks for your patience and time .
