Je Suis Charlie: ALL religions equal ignorance

Undercover1's avatarUndercoverInfo

 © Charlie HebdoBeneath the worldwide outrage of the massacre of staff at Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine, is an unspoken truth rarely spoken in the bourgeois circles of mass media and the centrist establishment: that all religions are by their very nature repressive and based on fear and ignorance. For decades tolerance of religions has been fatally conflated with respect for equality and ethnicity. It’s time now to say loud and clear that they have no connection and that in the evolution of humankind the most reactionary force we have all had to contend with over centuries is religion – all religions – Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc – whether in the Middle East, in India, in Northern Ireland, or anywhere where barbarism has shown itself.
