America's premise was to allow freedom of lifestyle which includes religion. This eventually made Christian's way of thinking, such as myself, more malleable towards different lifestyles. No I don't believe in gay marriage but I can tolerate it because at the end of the day they're humans just like anyone else and deserve to be treated as such. Muslims have never, to my knowledge, even skimmed the thought of acceptance of gays. They never will either, they're still battling Israel over 2000 year old land. They stick to what has been set for their religon. I know this isn't a political thread but something has to be done on how we admit anyone into the US. Not just hispanics or greeks, everyone should have the same immagration process. The thing is with the shooter, Omar, he was born in the US, so it was his choice to do this. Only influenced by his religion. So what do we do about people like this who were born here and maintain their brash way of thinking? There's simply no fix all cure all for this. I hate to say it but the only way we got Germany and Japan to settle down was by war, and destroying them in the battlefield. Only now, Nuclear technology isn't a secret anymore. Anyone can make a weapon of mass destruction. If another war breaks out we could be looking at the worst war to ever breakout in the history of the Earth. |
The point is. Christianity had long interreligious wars that, because they were tightly knitted with medieval Europe's politics, completely undermined the absolute power religion had. Because people were much less inclined to just accepct Christian dogma's, the dogma's and the religion started to evolve with the change of thoughts (not always willingly). They had to because they had no choice.
Islam is still going through this process. It's not the point if any of these religions are bad. But Christianity has a less absolute hold over people's lives and it's dogmas are more easily set aside, while both Islamic and Christian dogma are at their core quite conservative.
