EVIL OR IGNORANT?

Is it evil or ignorance that causes people to burn religious texts from other religions?

Is it evil or ignorance that causes people to cut off the heads of people who are tying to help them?

When you get down to the basics of how people should deal with each other, you come to the Golden Rule, "Deal with other people in the way that you want other people to deal with you."

NO ONE wants to watch a book that they believe tells essential truths to be burned. NO ONE wants their head cut off.

It is NOT a religious act to punish a person trying to help you for something done by one stupid, ignorant person who lives half a world away.

There will NEVER be peace in your country or in the world, unless we all realize that each of us has a slightly different point of view regarding religion. This is why democracy is not just the rule of the majority. Democracy is also the protection of the rights of the minority.

Those who exercise power through intimidation are WRONG. The real truth is that if you have to exercise intimidation in order to have power, you are essentially weak.
