We in the West need to Change Our Approach…

It is said that “history Repeats Itself…” and indeed it does but never, in quite the same way which is what we in the ‘West’ need to understand most when dealing with “Moslem Countries and their Culture” abroad and most of all “Our Enemy OR Asset Within” local Muslims who due to previous immigration policies are resident here. They need to evolve their faith and approach to a secular society as British Muslims and whilst keeping their faith ‘pure’, reject what were or are just local ‘tribal customs’ which are irrelevant to their lives here in the UK.
In order to deal with the current Middle East situation on the one hand we have to understand that the situation in Moslem countries today is little different from that of the internal circumstances faced by Christian countries in the ‘Middle Ages’ which led to the ‘Crusades’.

Fear of Religion
One of the biggest problems that I face when I scan the British Press and ‘comment boards’ is a total fear of ‘Extreme Islam’ and people who will strap on a ’suicide vest’. The very idea that ‘anyone can care that much…” is far too much for most British readers.
The consequence is therefore that it is ‘religion’ that is to “BLAME” and yet clearly, this is a flawed concept to any believer in ‘Almighty God’ by whatever ‘religious variation’ they travel this path.
What to do About Iran ?
I was reading yesterday an article about the possibilities of air strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities and how for the moment, these would have to go on hold because of the current stage of events in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The assumption seems to be that it is the Israelis supplied and supported by the Americans would actually carry out the raids in “due course”.
Now whilst I agree that the Iranians are annoying little mindless shits and there would be very few tears shed here or in the Middle East if they got a severe kicking. However if you stand back for a moment and think about it, does any of this make much sense ? The more I think about it, the less it seems to and what is almost certain is that this is not a simple black and white issue.
