Okay now do not forget to go to the comments section. This is where you will find a plethora of comments from viewers, many of who unconsciously speak.
Why do I say so ? Because I dont understand why people are bringing up Christianity or other religions and the persecutions of eons ago. We are in the BRAVE NEW times, people, where we live in the 21 st century and have come a long way from the dark ages.
When you live in civilized democracies, with human rights and freedom, perhaps it is easy to forget the many billions who do not have that luxury. Trying to justify or explain away brutality, intolerance and injustice by using religious references from the past is not only ridiculous but a disservice to the billions who live imprisioned in countries governed by idiological dogma.
You hamper the progress of compassion, religious freedom and the spirit of democracy not only in your countries, but you seriously inhibit it in Islamic nations. Please understand the difference between trying to underestimate a problem and trying to justify the cause for it happening is a thin line. Walk that thin line very cautiously for you may very well fester a problem by justifying its occurance.
And that my dear friends,in my opinion is neither compassionate nor democractic.
