As you know or not as I noticed people monitoring our forums have pulled this in the past… why I don’t know as it fits in the topic of occult in a big way and is not intolerant of Christian religion.

this guy is to be executed as soon as the press isn’t looking, according to that countries religion a witch is an infidel … any one who is not a Muslim is an infidel technically and can be converted or killed. As you know from past post UN has sent a rather urgent message about millions being beaten and raped and hundreds of thousands killed last year as witches for many corrupt reasons.
Now I can tell you as a witch im worried, my thoughts passed to my dark friends who till lately with rules in place and organized groups have come out of the crypt so to speak about there blood drinking and energy drinking.
Do you fear religious intolerance to your belief or do you think your going to be ok in this changing world?
have dealt with it and here recently also and with my close family who dont want to hear about me being a pagan and have been very intolerant of my personal views and beliefs I am not sure the world has really changed much when you have the established religions pressing so hard on people to stay within that faith or go to a scary dark place where you will burn lol i do like the fact more people are questioning the established churches and religions its what we were meant to do.... find our own way not to have it shoved down our throats by religious or spiritual nutcases it is sad to hear of such things still going on after all this time but im sure in the muslims eyes they are doing just and righteous things no matter how bad it really is as long as their holy book says its ok or their cleric condone it..... there does not seem to be many safe havens for those of alternate views and beliefs to be able to flourish and that is sad but maybe with time the old predjucies will be forgotten and people will move forward and truly be enlightened and tolerant of others beliefs
i'm confident that with time things like this will stop happening.
There are more witches and "enlightened" people now than ever before, so unless some figure-head steps in and points to our extermination yet again, well.... there'll be a big fight, but we'll probably end up losing.
Then in the next hundred years or so others will pick up where we left off, and eventually end intolerance... with luck.
Even if they kill us, they can't kill our ideas. That's because others will come up with them in the future, because magick and vampyrism are forces that want to be noticed.
unfortunatly there will always be intolerance... it is not as sever in the Uninted States as many other places... but it is a problem EVERYWHERE...There's really no way to fix it... because intolerance is an opinion. And it is immoral to make someone change their opinions... some people can be convinced to accept change, but many cannot...
So it is up to people to realize where their religion is or is not accepted... it is wrong and belittling...yes, but religion is a topic that has been fought over for years and will continute to be fought over until the end of man.
Just like how we can make it illegal to own, or to control people of a certian race... but we cannot nesessarily stop racisim. It's a personal opinion.
As far as I am going to go with this very contravertial and political thread, is that more then a good share of those with religious backgrounds are "Muslim".
They are taking over, literally. The percentage of them in Europe is astounding, do the research to realize the number. Hell, Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama (his Muslim name) IS a self admitted Muslim.
This may be some scary crap if one were to believe any of the politics regarding it. Anyone who is claimed "Muslim" is the new propaganda much like Judaism was in the past. No one who is anti-sematic has a say so in anything and is outright banned from speaking their mind. This is truth.
Now, pertaining to the subject at hand, it should be clear now about how much political danger the self proclaimed "witches" are in, if the "Muslim" world does make its way into the American mainstream.
I am not saying, I am just saying...
yeah would seem so my friend used to live in london and his wife used to get harassed by the muslim men that are everywhere in their area i think they were zealots or something but it was because she didnt have a head covering dunno thats just what i was told but they ended up moving here to the states to get away from them....and the intolerance that they were subjected to
I'm sure the reason this may have been pulled before (and may still get closed) is because of it's political nature. I'm fairly sure people aren't going to be able to keep this on topic and will drag it into either a political bit or bashing some religion.
I can see with just the few responses that this is going to get heated. I am closing this thread.
