Of course people should be able to practice their faith, but I don't find any religion to be particularly centered in reality.

It's all because of the disgusting right wing narrative of division, walls and getting people to hate on other people, politicians also to blame with posters saying breaking point

Paua oouaarancì Irà chiyeah Ishé galé ma ba oo ah

Seconded.

Very very sad news.

Given some comments in media (UK and outside) and here few points i would like to highlight.

- Cliche of `terror has no religion`. Well, we all know that but which also should not mean how religion become a fatal weapon for terror. I see various of Muslim touch-point much more like pointing the finger that `see, not only Muslims act terror`. Meanwhile i also see the motivation to check at other side defending `this is self-motivated action, he is ill etc`. None of this give me a clear picture.

- Christian and Muslim rooted countries have a very common difference.

Christian countries passed through fighting independence of individual and shed blood for this. Milestones like Magna Carta, French revolution or many other which simply get over monarchism from government and religion perspective. On top of this, replaced this with an evolving environment which gives priority to individual and human right which was fed by science and education.

Whereas, there is nearly no Muslim country (or a few which has no influence) had similar experience. This stability ended up with a conflict with new-world order which was managed and ruled by above movements.

Thus, Muslim countries can easily consume Jihadi-mindset (which is similar to Crusades period) which end up having millions of people who would not refrain to be part of any terrorist act. (PS here: This ain`t a justification of Islam, i oppose all religious)

This is also root cause of the failure of `so-called democracy` in Iraq or Arab Spring. I remember myself laughing with my ass when Bush and Blair was stating their objective is bringing democracy to Middle-East which ended millions of people`s live and triggered an environment which created various of terrorist groups. Democracy is required by individuals and can be granted if they fight for it, it can not be delivered by any dictations. Removing those dictators without any reliable placement was a suicide. Like it would be suicide if somehow people got over monarchic government or church by replacing nothing meaningful.

And for sure, we can not deny the fact of official terror on Earth which is run by conflicting strategies of official governments. Having no strategy and staying desperate against refugee flooding (which was triggered by so-called democratic Arab Spring) is one sample.

I would not be optimistic to wait nations who has no democratic mindset to be democratic and follow the evolution which West followed. But sounds like i am also becoming pessimistic that whatever is happening (terror, refugees, extremism) nowadays will boost polarization and will end-up self-saving solutions by governments by ignoring mutual concurrence which is supposed to be only regional and / or global solution.

I don’t really see Christianity in this country peddling anything. Just quite nice people on the whole going to church.
