[quote=Anonymous]Muslima:

Members of all religions say that at heart their religion is perfect.  We all hope people will judge our religion by its inherent truth and beauty.  The problem we all have is that many of the followers are so flawed.

As Gandhi said of Christianity:  I like Christ, but have problems with many Christians (paraphrase).

We can only judge other religions by what we see.  Right now we see a lot of bad things going on in the name of religion:  Yazadis stuck on a mountain top dying of dehydration because Muslims view them as devil worshippers, Catholic clerics involved in the cover up of child abuse, Buddhists (that most pacific of faiths!) involved in attrocities in Sri Lanka and Burma, and on and on.

We all live with this contradiction.  The best thing to do is to own up to it.  The world is full of contradiction.  Africans were brought here in chains and forced to become Christians, but then many years later, the religion of the slave holders gave them the courage and imagery and sense of self worth needed to bring about integration.

Peace to you sister - it will never be resolved in this life time.[/quote]
