Seems like a low number to me. I certainly believe that “following the tenets of my religion is more important to me than the laws of the land in which I live.” Don't you?
ReplyDeleteFair point. But my religion does not tell me it's OK or even obligatory to kill anyone.
ReplyDeleteThere are Christians today and in the past that would have disagreed with your point above, especially regarding heretics and including killing "Mohammedans" when taking the Cross, so to speak.
ReplyDeleteThe argument you are making would also seem to unduly privilege the modern nation-state, cf. the work of William T. Cavanaugh. I don't get the sense that's representative of your stated political beliefs.
You're aware the Mohammedans were ruthless Arab imperialists who brutally homogenized dozens of distinct cultures, and the Crusades were a reaction to same.
