For the very reason Justhuman points out, religious war is shockingly inevitable!
You can smell the blood in the air and there is no where to run.
But so is the course of human history for uncoutnable thousands upon thousands of years and those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
Treat anyone unfairly and they will seek revenge and Palestine is the breeding pot of unhappiness and injustice. Lack of education with a very hearty shake of religious intolerance and you have a bomb ready to blow.
The powers that be know what is going to happen. A lot of them have studied history and can already see the course of events that will follow. Security is coming down on everyone like a strangle hold that is already choking the life out of our freedoms.
We are already at war, and there is no where to run and no where not affected.
I'm reminded of stories such as 'The Hand Maid's Tale' and am afraid that women are going to be the first ones to 'get it' in one way or another.
The world's going mad and we can't stop it!
Five years ago when I first left the WT world I sensed great freedom but I don't believe that freedom will exist for much longer. I can't see us holding back the tide of the majority, which means in the UK eventually the majority will be Muslim, whether we like it or not and my daughters and grand daughters will be oppressed back into the stone age.......with no where to run!
It's easy for men to sit at their computers arguing the niceties of 'religious intolerance' and saying unpleasant things to eachother about whether they are nice to the Muslim faith or not.
To women, the story is different. Men's freedoms will more or less remain unaltered.
Women will immeadiately lose their value by half, their freedoms, thier hopes and aspirations and become chattle again as we were hundreds of years ago and all you can do is argue about who is intolerant towards the Muslim faith.
Get a grip and realise that the women you care about are. potentially in the future, to become absolutely nothing, invisible, child bearing machines allowed no mind or freedoms of their own.
Personally, I would rather die than live under an Islamic state and I don't think I am the only one.
The majority sadly rule, and the majority are Islamic! The R and F Muslims are the salt of the earth as are the R and F of most communities. But they don't make the rules. It's the fanatics at the top who make the rules and they are the ones with the power, the guns and the bombs.
