[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 23896, member: 126"] Re: Who's pulling who's wheight? I will probably regret re-entering this scrum but for the record, thoughtful respectful debate involves mostly presenting facts or logical arguments to support personal opinion, not just repeating opinion and saying others can't understand. If indeed christian and muslim religions can not co-exist what is the practical solution? Wait for one to obliterate the other (rhetorical don't answer)? India by example suggests that is is possible for disparate religions to coexist under a democracy, but isolated violence still occurs there (and here). Law and civil rule should prevent this ultimate denial of civil rights, the right to live. IMO there is not a simple answer to this, and leaving to their own devices those inclined to just kill those who do not belong to the same clan, or pray the way they like, seems a poor choice. Such behavior belongs back in our hunter-gather distant past, not in modern civilized society. IMO there should be more push back from inside the affected communities, who feel this behavior is unacceptable and stop it from within, but perhaps I truly can not know exactly how they all think. We certainly don't share a common background, and I understand how powerful different groups personal motives for revenge can be, but perpetuating violence is not a practical means to ever ending the cycle of violence.
