The problem... is problematic
Bring from Sweden we usaly seem to have a rather laid back opinion on religon we dont have alot of fanatics like Pat in the US and alot of peopel i know look at these peopel whit a slight chuckel as if it was a joke, or shake their head woundering when the guy from candid camra will walk out.
This is a tendensy that is pretty simpel, we all 'know' cristianity even if we dont belive in jesus or god in waht ever shape or facion we all know the line "turn the other check" and we all see it as cristian benevolence and we have hard to understand how Islamic as a religon look so Hatefull towards us...
But the explenation is pretty simpel... one word, Interpretation... did i spell that right?
Any way, a person like Bin Laden reads the Coran like Pat Robertson read the Bibel he finds what he NEED and he use it...
You can justefy anything you want by reading the Bible Or the Koran it's taht simpel... now, that dont make either of them invalid only that one need to take in to acount that these where written LONG ago, by peopel wrighting a messige that reflected their time, when it's being read there are things that as a human of sound mind there are things that we have to look at and say... this dont go whit the the developed sence of morality and etics that we have today, and some things simply make no sence in modern day.
If you belive that the cristian messige is love and understanding, and peacefull coexsitance whit your fellow man, that messige can be found in the Bible...
If you belive in the bigot View of homofobes and rasists who belive in the purety of the blood and the right of a few over the masses and your right to assert your ideas in a way that end in murder and massaker, you can find that to...
The same have to be in the Koran, this is why Bin Laden can justefy what he is doing...
Sadly...
Cristianity have been just as bad as islam, we just tend to disregard it, i belive everyone know about Rowanda? but do you know that the massecers was orcesrated by peopel using the Cristian messige? these groups where backed by many of the cristian comuneties in Europe and USA (i'm not saying they backed the massaker but they game them founding for many years leading up to the massacer and where the peopel who when we started seeing how wrong things was going in that country that argued that everything was fine... as we know it today it was not...
Religon is not bad, peopels bad interpretations of a religon is...
I have friends who belive, both cristian and islamic... who's view and council and respec, and know peopel both cristian and islamic who's view have almost ended me in jail, a Muslim for coments on 911 and a Cristian on coments about a Lesbian freind of mine...
This all boil down to Hate... and Interpretations...
Bin Laden Hates USA, He hates the western world... as do many peopel in the Arab Countires... it ahve noting to do whit religon when you get it down to the basic...
And i will stop my preatching... and my horrid spelling
