The man with weapons is probably praying for a different God as he is not facing the same way to Kabbah... LOL... <br />I love your sentence "Prejudice, ignorance and fanaticism are a deadly combination" So true... so wise... this is based on people who do not seek the truth and do not think for themselves... people on both sides are brainwashed which causes all this malarkey... why can't we just sit together and stop hating... stop these stupid wars with people standing in different corners...let us come together in the middle and shake hands... this way we can all be guaranteed to live... in peace... <br />Not in Jordan yet my lovely Paula... in a few days!<br />I love it when you return from your short vacations... brings a huge smile on my face... Blessings to you and your family as well...

Why provocative? People are ignorant, we we both know that already. Ignorant people make generalizations based not on fact but on their inability to think, reason, but mostly because some people need to hate and destroy. This is all the more reason why good people need to speak up, shout and not keep quiet when they hear someone make an ignorant statement or joke about Islam or any other religion or ethnicity. Prejudice and ingnorance and fanaticism are a deadly combination. <br /><br />I love your sweet picture illustration.<br /><br />Are you still in Jordan? I have been in Paulaland a.k.a. lalaland for awhile and am now catching up on my friends' posts and my own. Blessings and love to you and your family.nazelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711794777364747269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914408138577047847.post-90234714682579524062011-07-03T10:03:13.518+08:002011-07-03T10:03:13.518+08:00Hi jyothisethu... thank you for taking the time to...Hi jyothisethu... thank you for taking the time to read my post and comment... I agree with what you wrote 100% ... I do not think that I have heard of Ganhiji and would love to read more about him... he was right... the core of all religions is to become a good, kind honest, etc. human being and since all religions call for that then one should become true to his/her religion. will read more about Ganhiji as this interests me. thanks again.Taboulehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207053179340767332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914408138577047847.post-91859503994055135512011-07-03T01:58:30.439+08:002011-07-03T01:58:30.439+08:00the ideology is same for every religion. may be b...the ideology is same for every religion. may be because every religion is born from the teachings of a leader who became painful by looking at the hardships of his fellow beings. such leaders wanted to ease the pain by teaching a way of life which later became a religion. gandhiji, (father of nation - india) told, for peace in the world only one thing is needed, hindu should become a true hindu, muslim should become a true muslim, christian should become a true christian and likewise...jyothisethuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223899489263314460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914408138577047847.post-88379189070973747462011-07-01T23:27:35.951+08:002011-07-01T23:27:35.951+08:00Thank you Barbara... yes... sadly there is a lot o...Thank you Barbara... yes... sadly there is a lot of propaganda out there and sometimes we have to filter any news that we watch or hear through such medias... hopefully those who were led to believe that some religions are evil will change their minds and the fanatics will change their ways and stop the ridiculousness of what they are committing.Taboulehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207053179340767332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914408138577047847.post-36580925938608977842011-07-01T22:20:11.742+08:002011-07-01T22:20:11.742+08:00Sadly, we are fed all that negativity through tele...Sadly, we are fed all that negativity through television and newspapers. I actually took a pledge a few weeks back to stop watching the news and reading newspapers because most of it is one par truth and 49 part lies. I think blogging is one of the best ways to know what is really going on in the world and to learn what people really believe.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914408138577047847.post-48617432456740615272011-07-01T21:56:30.964+08:002011-07-01T21:56:30.964+08:00Thank you both for taking the time to read, watch ...Thank you both for taking the time to read, watch the video and comment... I agree with the both of you... it is very sad and equally frustrating... I also believe that it is these labels that are keeping every religion separate... we all want the same thing no matter what our religion was or even if we did not follow any specific religion... working on improving oneself and being kind to all people no matter what their background, social status or ethnicity is at the core of each one of them... so why can't we all just get along... I am so glad that there is hope because there are people like you out there...Taboulehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207053179340767332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914408138577047847.post-56255126169146878622011-07-01T20:58:56.531+08:002011-07-01T20:58:56.531+08:00I agree with you!

In the end, the biggest problem is that men should worry with themselves, in improving themselves first, instead of trying to make others do what they want to get done... All religions are good, teir only problem is that they are a religion. They should be tought as life principles or teachings instead of being labelled...

Christianity is the same. As we know often use to control people and exclude certain groups. I suppose religion is like anything else in the hands of human beings - can be used for good or for evil. It is very frustrating. I hear you!janhttp://opportunitywithdanger.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
