Dearie, dearie me. There are so many squabbles about religion in The West.
We should be more like Iran.
In Iran, Jews, Christians, and Muslims live on the same streets. And none of them give a care about who's what. Most of the time, they join in each other's religious celebrations.
That's what I like. The only thing that beats that in terms of tolerance is a very good film entitled "Bill and Ted's Most Excellent Adventure".
This debate is the reason I support compulsory religous education. The Iranians get on because they've lived together for over a thousand years, and the Christian, Muslim and Jewish children have all played together and have taught each other their religious practice. Proof positive on the effects of RE. Also, I don't ever what to see anyone get Brahman muddled, ever. Hindus believe in that Brahman takes many forms, including Jesus, Allah, the Buddha, and Shiva.
In conclusion;
Let's be Excellent to each other.
