what is the political situation of the whole world?

Answer 1

hostile

Answer 2

Pretty much complete chaos.....

It is hard to believe that just 6 years ago the USA was liked and admired pretty much all over the world... no everywhere but in most places. Now today, we are universally hated, thought of as bullies and even ppl like the Canadians look at us with disdain.

There is an old saying, "Pride comes before a fall." Our arrogance or should I say the arrogance of Bush, has been our own undoing.

Answer 3

Very precarious, I think we can or maybe will, self destruct at any time. We have to stop this stupid senseless fighting. Or maybe mankind is just hardwired towards aggression. Many great civilizations before ours has bit the dust. Many people unfortunately glorify in war. Some have a natural blood lust. Our earliest know literature was glorification of war. Homer seemed to relish in it.

Answer 4

More humans have been killed in the name of Christianity and Islam than any political land grabbing motivated wars.
The question should be if so ,why do we feel the need for religion if it haws proven itself to destroy us as a race?

Answer 5

i say... if it takes something radical to save us, try this.... force all male world leaders to step down for just 12 months, and put a woman in her place (thatcher doesn't count). see what can be accomplished with a little empathy, understanding and care for the human race. it is chestbeating and small willies that got us here, let's give a try, eh? think outside the square (and inside the box).

Answer 6

The world is politically divided because of different beliefs in religion, culture and idealogies.

Answer 7

Grim

Answer 8

For one thing, the fear mongerers obviously have way too much power. Just look at all the hysterical, "sky is falling" responses you're getting.

Answer 9

I think its pretty much the same as its allways been there are just more people and more media coverage now.

Answer 10

It is doomed, due to the capitalism and greed of national corporations and the rich.

Answer 11

The world is trying to adjust to the collision of two vastly different philosophies. On the whole, Islam is a religion of peace--but there is a significant minority of violent, fundamentalist Islamics who give the religion a bad name, and the governments of Islamic countries sit quietly by, or offer support to these misanthropic men. They take bits and pieces of their scripture and rally around them for evil rather than good. While there is much that is good in the Islamic teachings, here are some examples of the problem-causing scriptures--
Qur’an 8:60 “Infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them.”

Bukhari:V4B52N260 “The Prophet said, ‘If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.’”

Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”

Sahih Bukhari V6B61N577:
I heard the Prophet saying, "In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection."

Bukhari [4:52:177]: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him!"

Bukhari, V1B4N234: "A group of people from the Oreyneh and Oqayelh tribes came to the prophet to embrace Islam, the prophet advised them to drink the urine of the camels. Later on when they killed the prophet's shepherd, the prophet seized them, gouged out their eyes, cut their hands and legs, and left them thirsty in the desert to die."

Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war. Surah 9:5

The punishment of those who wage war against Allah (blasphemy) and his Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the hereafter. Surah 5:33
Quran 4:34 "(as to those muslimah’s) on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them;"

ON THE OTHER HAND, FROM THE CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES--

Matthew 5:44,45 But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
1 John 4:7,8 ...let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them


MY RESPONSE--
As Christians, sometimes we have a hard time turning the other cheek--but it's generally not in our nature to be the offender. Our nation was built on tolerance, and we're not islamophobic, or against any religion! We're fanaticphobic. And terroristphobic. We want to be able to take our families to Disneyland without having to worry about being maimed or killed by a raving lunatic who thinks he has a mission from God, and who thinks forcing others to bow down with a gun to their head is acceptable.
We find ANY RELIGION--including Islamic fundamentalism--to be BARBARIC, distasteful, and a mockery of true religion WHEN it is used as an excuse to do EVIL.
What if Americans tried to use the KKK and its violence to spread Christianity by force? The IDEA is abominable to us, and to ALL civilized people, REGARDLESS of religion! All violent religious nuts listen closely--if WE did what YOU do, WE would be executed as criminals under our own law!
So, to ANYONE who would use religion as an excuse to be cruel, murderous or evil--GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!
