Thread Name: Obit: More Muslim intolerance?
Subject: RE: Obit: More Muslim intolerence?
We are all inclined to listen more to ourselves tahn anyone else. Yes, me included. If we stand back a bit maybe we have much more in common than we are prepared to admit.

I feel sure of one thing. Given the human condition, the people in power are reluctant to share that power with those whom they want to keep inferior. May I give Northern Ireland as an example? There would be still discrimintaion against Catholics getting jobs and Catholics getting housing were not people prepared to stand up and challenge and fight. That is the sad reality. It is not really a Protestant/Catholic thing. It is a poer thging. Like the Crusades was a power thing.

REligion is used as a tool.
