*In The Name Of The Divine Religions… A Bow by Jamil Shawwa

Compare the Westboro Baptist Church and the Congressman from New York, Peter King, and the suicide bombers in Pakistan that blow funerals. What is the common ground between the nuts, the fanatics here and the criminals in Pakistan; not much, both hijacked a religion and both in the name of a divine religion created new religions and new wave of hatred. No faiths, religions, or philosophies throughout history suffered as much as the three divine religions, not from sources strange to them but from those that claim that they belong to them. In America, the Supreme court said that it is legal for the Westboro Baptist Church to disrupt –by shouting and cursing- the funerals of the fallen soldiers, in Pakistan, they take liberty to kill themselves and others in the suspicious shadow of the silence of the law.
