Many of the leaders of the EU, the UK and the US see all religions as being equal. Islam, Judaism and Christianity are all equal they believe. Also Buddhism is the same as Hinduism. The list goes on. But very seldom are things, human beings or religions ever equal. That is just complete nonsense. Even snowflakes while appearing the same, are different thus not strictly equal.
To think of all religions as being equal requires reductive thinking. The first thing to do is to throw out all the differences reducing the religions to something like, they all believe in god. Perish the thought that Buddhism, for example, doesn’t believe in some all powerful creator god or Allah. So on that note, there cannot be equality with a religion like Buddhism.
Islam, for example, doesn’t accept any religion except its own. In fact it teaches to “fight those who do not believe in Allah” which would be Buddhism. Truth be told, religions other than Islam are deemed inferior. People of other religions were forced to convert to Islam against their will or were in many instances, put to the sword. This is what happened in India, by the way.
Muslims would be the last to accept the notion that all religions are equal! Yet we see Europeans bending over backwards to be hospitable to newly arrived Muslims even though the arrivals are anything but friendly to their hosts. Right now, the EU and the UK are becoming war zones with more and more violence on the part of Muslims being directed to their hosts.
I dare say, Europeans are suffering from some kind of madness as are some Americans especially black Americans who regard Islam as the champion of anti-slavery when it was quite the opposite. Islam, in fact, was perhaps the world’s greatest enslaver. It is estimated that Islam enslaved over 28.7 million Africans. It is also estimated that Muslims killed 120 million Africans to get these slaves many of them being sent to the Americas.
Many in the West refuse to take off their spectacles that make religions seem equal—then these same people forge ahead with a strange utopian vision, something not unlike Comte’s religion of humanity, brought up to modern standards, but still with Comte’s idea that feeling guides action which also stands above reason. This is insanity, and I dare say that many of the leaders of the EU and the UK are quite insane. It is only a matter of time before civil war in Europe raises its ugly head (the French have had 10,000 troops in the streets for two years—it hasn’t worked to stop the violence).
