THE REAWAKENING OF RELIGIOUS FERVOR ....



Or should I further explain  , by saying "the revival and reenactment of religion" .  The concept of religion as separate from daily societal  and political affairs is vanishing in many parts of our  modern world . IN  the past 70 years we have missed our chances to separate religious causes from social causes . It seems that the human race , is always affirming that it takes it for granted that religion and politics are inseparable .


Religion , instead of becoming a private , internalized commitment , separate from such external activities as social and political affairs , is surely turning to strong feelings of belonging to one's religion or sect , and redirecting everyone's whole  behavior accordingly , it's becoming the norm .


Indeed , Buddhists , Hindus or Confucians , Jews , Christians or Musslems , Catholics or Eastern Orthodox , Shiia or Sunnis , the divide is growing , and a dark current is emerging in modern thought and behavior .


Conflicts in the last few decades , from the ex Yugoslavia that was mostly influenced by divides of Orthodox , Catholic and Musslem , to actual conflict in Ukraine another reflection of Orthodox versus Catholic divide . The archaic and brutal takeover , and the practiced apartheid policies by Israeli Jews of Arab lands containing musslems and Christian populations is becoming a clear clash of religions more than a political problem , rendering it very if not impossible to settle .


Islamic fervor , as well as all orthodox religious factions  be it Jews , Christians or Hindus , yes Islamic fervor is surpassing every imaginative civilized norm , and I'm not here only referring to ISIS and its affiliates , I'm talking about established  kingdoms and Emirates , Islamic republics, with every aspect of modernism and wealth . All backing and financing extremism and archaic religious fervor .


Yes , I want here to denounce the Saudi influence over the many decades with their Wahhabi , Ibn Taymiyyah and Ghazali  doctrines over the millions of Arab and Musslem youths in their various mosques and madrassas all over the world , East and West , North and South . It is high times the West and specifically the U.S  question and repudiate these practices , and forget some of their interests .


The world will be completely ruined, lost and desolate if we keep this track and continue on this path . All  Religions throughout history have only  seized , destroyed and swallowed up everything imaginable , dead or alive . The Monotheist Abrahamic ones more so than any other .




Secularists , non believers as well as atheists ought to have a greater role of enlightenment in our present world . My usual Appreciations for your time and patience .
