Trump versus Clinton?

[Brian37]

I am not afraid of Sharia Law or a global takeover of Islam, but it is not something to be ignored anymore than any other religion, and right now it is still on average still more stuck in a theocratic past than the west, which has had benefit of secular law as a leash on it.

You have to put things into proportion. One thing, our media never does. Two days ago, it was Brussels. Terrible, and the outrage is more than justified. But in other news, today another suicide bomber blew himself up in Bagdad, claiming as many lives. That's not Islam or muslims waging war on the West. That's backwards sects waging war on everyone not fitting their bill of perfection. Terror is a daiily phenomenon in the Middle East. Only we don't take note, unless it's in our comfort zone. It simply doesn't interest us or our media. The majority of victims still are fellow muslims. So it's kind of blaming the victims when someone pulls out the broad brush to say, it's Islams or muslims. Several, relatively small militias and terrorist organisations are at the core of the problem. And we would be well adivsed if the sane parties were working together instead of just blindly blaming entire groups.

I am not ignoring the infighting at all, infighting exists in under all religious umbrella labels. It is just that the west as I said, has had a longer period of managing differences to a more civil degree. Nobody should be blaming entire groups. That is not what I mean by the East is more theocratic. 

Again, skip the violence you still have one Umbrella label "Christian" with sub sects that don't agree, such as a tea party Evangelical Ted voting baptist and still another Obama voting baptists. Time and western secular law is what we are used to. Sunnis and Shiites Iran and Saudi Arabia and the east on average has not shared that same history. There are certainly differences and certainly blaming all Muslims is NOT the answer, but like all Christians,  all those sub sects have different competing ideas as to how the general umbrella should conduct itself, and that is what is causing the divisions. It does not have to be a majority, but just enough.

Yes certainly depending on conditions everyone has been a victim depending. Sunnis have been victims of Shiites, Shiites have been victims of Sunnis, Christians have been victims in the east as well as atheists. But Muslims also live in fear living in the west depending. 



QUOTE "Several, relatively small militias and terrorist organisations are at the core of the problem." Yes, but they are still using a the same holy books and writings as those who don't have violent intent. Same ignorance of Christianity here in the states that it is the same bible a non violent liberal uses as say the abortion clinic bomber uses. It  is a different conclusion on the very same book. 

That is not saying we should make sweeping judgments, just that people of all labels ignore that every religion has competing sub sects that interpret the same holy writings that lead the different sub sects to different conclusions.
