I don’t care what anyone’s religion is.
I don’t care if they are not religious.
I don’t care what colour anyone is.
I don’t care what their nationality is.
I don’t care what their sexuality is.
I don’t care if they have two heads and are called Noddy.
When I was young I went to church regularly, but I am no longer religious. I follow blogs written by people with different religious backgrounds and beliefs. Although I do not share their beliefs, the faith they have in their individual religions is commendable. I respect them and like what they have to say.
Similarly, I follow blogs by people from numerous countries that I been interacting with for a few years. I have even bonded with people who speak a different language from me. Their colour or nationality is irrelevant, they are good people and that is all that matters.
I doubt very much if this blog is followed or even viewed by anyone who is a racist or bigot.
In the UK, hate crime is increasing at an alarming rate and is fuelled by the prejudicial hate speech of particular newspapers and politicians.
I come across people that I just don’t particularly like, usually because they are bad mannered or disrespectful in some way. I cannot dislike someone because of their race, colour, religion or sexual orientation. In my mind that is unnatural.
Recently in London, Jameel Muhktar and his cousin Resham Khan had acid thrown over them in an unprovoked attack. Jameel suffered such serious burns he had to be put into an induced coma. They both suffered excruciating pain and life-changing injuries.
Resham Khan
It is bad enough when people suffer because their behaviour or actions have triggered an assault on them, but when innocent people minding their own business, have such cruelty inflicted on them as a result of racism is deplorable.

By the way, I think Jameel and Resham are Muslims. Does that matter? Not to me, and it should not matter to anyone else either.

The crimes are acceptable. Hate is acceptable. They are embraced and encouraged and incited. They are in countries, cities, and … homes. It is the evolution of a society gone berserk. We have devolved into primitive animals and beasts in feeling no remorse, no guilt, no compassion, no pain for the inflictions that go unabated, without consequence, without legal justice, without moral justice.
We are all sinners, but there is a difference when the sin is to actively and maliciously hurt someone else – feeling justified and righteous whether that is physical, mental or emotional. But sin that comes from a sinful ‘desire to inflict pain’ is an abomination.

Thank you for your input Helena.
When I became aware of people in wheelchairs experiencing hate crime, my first reaction was disbelief. My second reaction was anger at the Government, because that is who is at the root of the problem, turning people against anyone who is in receipt of benefit payments.

I hate when I see such things, people that are hurting other people only because they seems to be “different”. Why we should be different? We are all the same: humans! No matter the colour of our skin, nationality… The county we are from. We can’t be all placed in one big country.
I have in my city a good University for Medicine. There are a lot of asian students, black ones, muslim etc. I don’t judge them for being like this and if they want to study, is their right.
Evilness is all around. Of course, if I don’t judge them it doesn’t mean others don’t do the same…
You are very right. I sustain your opinion.

It’s so true and thank you for pointing that out. No one deserves any crime done against them regardless of their gender, race, and or faith. If someone has some issues, learn to deal with the differences and learn in a positive way!

I read in Wikipedia that Lebanon is the most religiously diverse country in the Middle East. Where I come from (Scotland) there has been a divide between Protestants and Catholics, like in Northern Ireland. It is not as bad as it used to be, hopefully it will fade away forever eventually.

My pleasure Ronnie 🙂
Yes it is, but it was a blessing and both a curse, the post you read « searching for a homeland » showing the curse and the civil wars and I wrote 2 posts why lebanon is special and showed the diversity and how we live altogether which is true, until the politics interfere or the orders arrive, the good people will not be affected but there are always those retarded people that ruin everything
I heard about the conflict ms between Catholic and protestants from a fellow blogger from Ireland, hope they aren’t that critical
Always thought that countries like Ireland and Scotland are perfect 🙂

I suppose in Scotland the divide is mainly Glasgow and surrounding areas where a lot of Irish settled a long time ago.
I met Northern Irish people in London who moved there to get away from The Troubles because they had enough of it. There was a certain gangster element that wanted the trouble to continue, because they were making money out of it.
