It leads to some people have vastly different views which causes conflict and tensions within its self. It can also casue segregation, such as certain relgion zones and many people within these zones feeling alienated by the prospect of isolation.
In the way the holy scriptures are presented, it leaves for readers interpretation on the world, this is obviously dangerous and it can contibute to the cause of extremism from all religions. |
No it isn't, these so called "extremists" take everything out of context. As a muslim I know suicide bombing is totally haram (Forbidden) it always says respect the laws of the land you live in. Because 0.001% decide to become some sort mis-concieved freedom fighters doesn't mean the religion is used to create tensions. Most genuine muslims know to respect any other religions, in the end we are all acounted for our sins and deeds.

The religions can create tensions and does. Im not talking about Islam specifically, im talking about all Religions as a whole. If Britain was totally Islamic im sure there wouldn't be a problem. What im trying to say is whenever there is religion there are going to be extremists. Partly to do with religion being individual interpretation of a book (most religions) Its then people use this excuse to commit acts of terror. Lets say that it is a small percentage of religious believers that casuse these problems, thats still a large number when you consider it only takes a few people to destroy thousands of lives and affect millions. Arghhhh....tricky situation.

I see what your saying but that could be said for any other situation, everyone views differ and that creates tension. Like Millwall fans and West Ham their never going to gel together well. Or other forms of extremist views such as racism and homophobia, it only takes one nut job to cause trouble.
