On social media I keep seeing articles about why we should not be prejudiced against a certain middle-eastern religion. The writers seem to overlook the fact that this particular religion kills those who do not conform with it. It kills minorities, those who do not believe, homosexuals and the mentally ill. It inflicts corporal punishment on rape victims. It executes people including children on a large scale. It does not recognise the concept of human rights, nor does it recognise civil rights.
In the 1930s in this country, some prominent individuals waxed lyrical about nazi Germany. They said that regime was our friend. They ignored the terrible suffering that was inflicted upon those who didn't conform with it. That regime executed the very same types of people who are today being executed in the middle east.
The present-day writers would be outraged if this similarity were to be pointed out to them, and by any suggestion that the religion and the political system have so very much in common. Why can't these writers open their eyes and be a little bit more honest? It really does make me want to vomit.
