RE: US court orders man to attend Sikh parade, learn about faith after ‘hate crime’
Look up "Christianity". It in itself is NOT a religion, rather the result of a Religion. Christianity is the belief in a "Higher" power that guides us and in the "White/European" senses that is a belief in "Christ". In Islamic beliefs it is in the Prophet Mohamed. There is NOTHING in the religious teachings of the West that states that we "Hate" any color or class of citizen. The hate only comes from our own beliefs and predjudices. These would be passed down from parents to children in every generation.
Just a thought in temperance.
That does make sense.
Is it really a hate crime (religion/ethnic hate) when a guy lashes out like this? It was not pre-meditated. I need to study up on all the other religions to make sure I do not accidentally offend if they get into a fight me.
Personally, @creativetruth I blieve that "Any Group" or organization should be free to address/celebrate their beliefs in a peaceful manner. If anyone is so sensative about what they are doing/saying I personally would suggest they take another look at what it is they are doing.
While I would not appreciate getting rotted vegetable matter thrown at me, I would like to see the "Rocky Horror Midnight Show" and even dressed up as a character. I enjoy watching different celebrations and I tend to not censor myself and if I cause offense, I apologize. If someone is so small minded that he feels he must insult a group he doesn't understand, then he should be educated in whathe has done wrong. If a person strikes another in what he believes to be "righteous indignation" he also needs to educated in his religion.
But then again, been through 2 wars not counting the last 17 years, so I am still learning. Not to mention I am about as old as a fossil...
