Examined
closely, things are always more complex than
they seem.
The clash of civilizations.
One European, western,
almost urban. One Middle Eastern,
eastern, from the desert. Both proud, both rooted in
their faiths, One blessed by having an
open view, One cursed by having a
closed view. The open view allows for
differences, Allows for separation of
faith and politics. The closed view calls for
unity, conformity, Demands a fusion of faith
and politics, Calls for the dominance of
Islam, Calls for the toleration of
private worship of others. The open view calls for
respect for all faiths, Calls for a separation of
faith and politics.
Separation.
Fusion. Democracy. Theocracy.
Due process.
Sharia law. --September 11, 2013
