If anyone is willing to actually read a book about these issues, I highly recommend KAREN ARMSTRONG'S book (probably over 15 years old) THE BATTLE FOR GOD. It investigates the tension between fundamentalism and a more balanced approach to religion in the three ABrahamic Religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) --- it is a tour de force --- with lots of detail ---
Armstrong is a former nun who is probably fluent in Latin and Arabic (don't know about Hebrew) ---- (she also wrote a biography of Mohammed which I have not read) .... Religion is a mixed bag --- Martin Luther King was a believer ---- a practicing minister --- there were revolutionary Cathoic Priest throughout Latin America over the past decades ---- Gandhi was a Hindu as is Modi --- there are pigs in all religions and there are wonderful individuals in all religions --- 100% generalizations (including this one of course!) are always wrong ... _._,_._,_ > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
