It is immoral to send
Afghan refugees back to Afghanistan. It is also immoral to send back refugees from Yemen, Congo-Kinshasa, Libya and Syria. There are
millions of people in the Middle East, Asia and Africa who are
escaping religious terror.
Religions create terrible
misery in the world. And it's not just Muslim extremists who are on
the war path. Jewish fanatics fight for their Greater Israel and the evangelical christians in the US voted for Trump. They want
even better nuclear weapons because they want to be well prepared for
the final battle.
The Muslim terrorists are often social misfits. But behind them are
religious teachers and imams who have influenced their worldview. And
behind the fanatic imams are powerful religious leaders in Saudi
Arabia and Qatar. For decades they have spread their extrem form of
islam across the world through religious schools and mosques. We can
not criticize them. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are important trading
partners and, moreover, religious beliefs are not something to be
criticized.
But it is not just
religious ideas that create problems in the world. Political ideas
and ideologies can also make us mad. Both politics and religion
can make us completely crazy.
We ought be many more,
who clearly rejected solid beliefs. We ought to be many more who stopped following political and religious leaders. We ought to be many more who
jumped off the bandwagon.
