This past week in Bangladesh 22 people died because of protesting against the anti-blasphemy law. Not only were 22 people killed but many stores and businesses were vandalized during this huge protest. These people causing the protest wanted a law passed about anti blasphemy. I think that the people protesting want the church mixed in with the state a little too much. Granted that it is not the United States, the government over here runs pretty well for the most part, maybe they should take note. The economy over here is not that great but you do not hear of such violent acts over here about different religious views, so maybe if they separate religion for their government they will reduce the level of violence and violent related deaths as well.
I think that they need to get the aggression and violence under control in countries in the Middle East and across Europe so things like this, 22 dead, does not happen as much as it truly does. It is just awful to hear about these violent stories all the time and mostly because of religious views. And I know it sounds a little ridiculous but why can’t they just open their minds to others religions enough before more violent acts and death occur. You don’t have to agree with it but my goodness nobody should have to die because of their beliefs! Maybe where they are from they shouldn’t try to enforce them or try to persuade others to believe what they do but that shouldn’t mean that they should change their views because that is not what the majority of the country believes. Just because someone’s beliefs are the minority does not mean that they should be persecuted for their beliefs. In conclusion I just think that they should not mix religion so much with their government and maybe these violent acts wouldn’t happen as much. (318)
