Religion & History

Lately, I have noticed a lot of controversial issues revolving around 9/11. The big one that has popped up lately has been burning the Koran. A minter in Florida decided this might be a good idea to do a book burning. Thank God, he did come to his senses.

I wish that people would read the things that they are so against. In the Koran, they do not talk about acts of terror that have been done to multiple countries throughout the world because a small number of people do not believe in what they do. Through out history, we have seen extremists that has punished people for their religious beliefs…the Crusades and the Holocaust to name a few. It doesn’t seem as if we are learning from our mistakes. It is repeated over and over again with no end in sight.

We are appalled at things that were done in the past, yet we continue to allow history to repeat and try to rationalize it to make it acceptable behavior even though deep down, we know what we do is wrong.

If we could just lose the hate and try to accept people for who they are, the world would be a much better place!
