JUSTICE IS THE CROWN .......

In modern times, narrow faith is returning to many spots of the world, in different shapes and headings, eclipsing morality and civility.  Faith and morals are quite different things, as men of different faiths can live together in peace, provided they agree on some standards of behavior. And without moral agreement men can not and will not live together in peace.

Surely no faith can claim higher morality or betterness than other rivals. Throughout the Middle-East, Israel and now the new waves of Islamism and Islamists , and fascist dictators in the world prove that less faith and better morality and civility is what's needed .

One of the few conceptions of justice, coming from old religious dogmas, in this case from Moses, and still considered as a great advancement to modern humanity and civility says; " You shall have one law for the stranger and for the native." Unfortunately our modern descendents of Moses whether in America, in Israel or in many spots of the Middle-East are all totally writing it off, and behaving exactly in opposite ways , while segregation and apartheid are flourishing everywhere.

Through various Islamic waves, in established countries and in war torn countries, and the Israeli colonialism, apartheid and theft, and American recent elected political inclinations, Europe's , Russia's and Turkey's rising blind ultra right and oligarchies , all fit the same paradigm . How much hypocrisy , self deception , irrationality and dishonesty would it take to apply and conduct one's life in accordance with segregation and apartheid .  To live together peaceably, men need rules, and these rules may even have to be enforced .

Historically it was always more factual and true to call a Judeo-Islamic trend and culture, and not Judeo-Christian tradition, the early Christians in the Greco/Roman world were heavily confronted with all Jewish laws, philosophies and rules of conduct, and Jews never accepted the whole Christian story nor Jesus, while Jewish dogmas survived well with initial Musslem expansion under Muhammad, and even later with califs and communities in different continents, and there's no denying of the too many resemblances and influences of Jewish laws over Islamic rituals and laws.

As a mater of fact, the coining and origination of the  Judeo-Christian concept, coming from the idea that the Christian covenant supersedes and eliminates the Jewish one, the words have been around and in use for  a century more or less, I have in a previous blog talked about it at length. Even Eastern Orthodox churches are less reliant and less accepting of the modern partnership and the very convenient to Zionism  Judeo-Christian misunderstood concept.

While both Judaism and Islam insist on a set of rules, laws and practices affecting every aspect of life. It has gotten to a degree in our times where both religions are practically reduced to a set of rituals devoid of spirituality and morality, civility and justice , and both share a total accepted will of non critical study of their respective religions.
