Can you please stop. We don't see Christans in the middle east blowing up cars or killing one another. Most of the Middle East's instability is because of themselves, and blaming the west won't solve those problems. This attack was due to religious beliefs, and Darama does have a good point. |
Why would I stop. You've been using the same flawed reasoning in every thread where this happens. If it was simply because of their beliefs, why doesn't every muslim in Turkey spontaniously combust?
I'm not going to say there isn't a problem in Islam, because there is. But that problem has nothing to do with their holy scriptures, becasue a lot of religions would have problems. It's rather what the religions deals with and talks about now.
And you can absolutely not deny the colonial and neo-imperialist tendancy's are playing a part in this problem. The root of society is the economic structure, and there are a lot of problems in these regions. It's the same problem with some Christian groups in Africa who lash out against the LGTB community or against other religions. That's not Christianity's fault per se, but what is preached there can be problematic.
A lot of people find in religion a way to rebel against what they see as imperialism from the western nations and that can translate in anti-modern feelings.
