We live in strange times where its an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, the law of jungle. Where religion is used as a weapon to spread hate, make gains, to consolidate power, to divide, when it should be spreading peace and love, when it should be uniting instead of causing a divide. Where thinking seemed to be getting narrower, instead of moving ahead with time we seem to be moving backward, and with each moment our outlook and tolerance level seem to be diminishing.
It’s sad to see that a hate crime against one religion is used as a justification, a reason to propagate violence, to attack innocent, to justify taking lives, sadly in the name of religion. Hate for hate, something that no religion propagates, tools of hate that no religion supports. What the fools failed to see people across all religions coming together, uniting to support the victims of hate.
It is sad to see leaders and government office bearers use religion as a mean for their murky schemes, which are clearly religiously biased clearly giving leeway to people who just need an excuse to spreading hate and spreading fear, eroding away the freedom of the intended victims.
In an election year it pathetic when religion is wielded as a tool to make political gains, use as vote bank politics. How would building a temple or protecting an animal help a nation progress? Hasn’t enough life been lost and blood been poured on mindless stupidity of men who fall into the religious trap. And then you have people holding office or aspiring to be elected to office making irresponsible and bigoted statements. Such people have no right to run for or be elected. For that matter no religious person, be it of any religion, should run for office.
We live in the world where hate begets hate, where one crime is used as a justification to commit another crime, a retaliation, a revenge, a vicious cycle. It’s time we break this vicious cycle, not get carried away by the agenda of others, vote responsibly.
