Why do they take such good care of their own tribes and destroy foreign cultures?

Oh I get it. You are a non-Christian who is posting these questions in an attempt to make Christians look bad.
But I'll answer anyway: Christians are just as "clannish" as the other groups. And in what way are the groups you mentioned destroying other cultures? If anything, those groups you mentioned are at risk of giving in to Westernization, and losing their own cultural identity. I see it as quite the opposite.

No worries your question it is good because you want to know.
All I can do is share my view point. It does not mean I am spots on.
The answer to your main question is no.
There's been talk of satanic worshippers over here, but it's kept hush hush and swept under the rug.
I used to live in Iraag back in the early 90s and in Musil they was definitely talk about satanic worshippers. As per usual it was soon swept under the rug never mentioned in the news.
Now moving on to your second question.
First of all I am an American born in wisconsin my mom is of Prussian descent. My dad of German descent.
I've been living in Saudi Arabia since 1993 and so I can only give the perspective from the Islamic point.
Clans have been around way before Islam.
Pride is the reason they take care of their tribes.
I believe they destroy and have destroyed foreign cultures because they are over zealous; especially when it comes to their relegion.
The concept of Islam is to worship God as a one and only diety, a concept I like, but to force people to do the same is where the over zealousness comes in and that is how those cultures or ways of life have been destroyed. It's shame to go about it that way.
Rest in the fact that times have changed and people no longer accept being forced.

They don't. You are a bigot.
Right now, Jews are in a big campaign to help those in Darfur. Those in need are mostly Black and Muslims. These are not, as you call it ''our own''.
It is the Christians missionaries that have gone into regions to preach their Christianity, changed the people's cultures, then gone off and left the people to fend for themselves-their culture and way of life ruined.
Christianity has been the biggest destructive faction ever. If you want Satan-----------------here it is.

God is the Creator and Jesus Christ is the revealed Word of God, anything that denies this truth is not from God,so yea you are correct, all other forms of religion are falsehood and are influenced by the father of lies(satan)
however many people of these faiths are ignorant to the fact that they worship satan and so we hope that the Lord has a plan to enlighten their minds at an appointed time.

I don't think so.
First, I don't believe that any such being as Satan exists.
Second, it is human nature to be tribal. When we don't have ethnic tribes or religious tribes with which we feel a strong connection, we invent new tribes to belong to.
Goth? Tribal culture.
Fanatic sports fans? Tribal culture.
BTW, Christianity is also tribal. While it is not based in ethnicity, it is exclusive to those who share a belief, so it's tribal too.

The difference is, they are not trying to force people to become a part of their tribe. They are more honest. You want Satanic? That would be christians, the ones who invented him to blame things on. By trying to force christians religions on people, you are trying to destroy their culture. Thank the Gods that America is pushing relgion slowly away. We are outgrowing it at long last.

Because the European Christians who settled the United States were SO loving and kind to the Native Americans. Who was it that used blankets infested with small pox in trading? That would be WASPs. D'oh!!!

When church says One God and one religion it is assuming a position, and a position to be true at all times and situation. Is it not that your own bible tells not to judge?
Church asks its followers to think black/white, right/wrong, Good/Bad. And this is its limitation. That’s the fanatics. Everyone should be able to think freely and further more should help others to think.

religion is exclusionary... we all live on the same earth and if you want to belive in god you might as well know we are all worshiping the same god.... fighting over the right way is so silly and boring, just like the die hard belivers who here tell you to shut up. they don't worship the dark one, they have "blind faith" and thus feel a certain right to assert their beliefs. Guess what people! NOONE CARES!
