There have been numerous examples over the last year of religious leaders causing difficulties for the people that they guided or advised. The most famous amongst them was Barack Obama’s former Pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama was forced to distance himself from his pastor after Wright was exposed as making anti-American comments. Then there was the story of John McCain and Pastor John Hagee. After it was alleged that John Hagee made anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic comments, the then Presidential Candidate John McCain publically rejected Hagee’s endorsement.

The Emmanuel school affair has become increasingly troubling. Now the sides have become so deeply entrenched in their views that they are ignoring reality. Unfortunately racism and unfair prejudices and even hatred is a pathology that effects all segments of human society and in order for it to be eradicated it needs to be contently fought against.

Religion is constantly in the news usually for the wrong reasons. It’s either how a rabbi committed a crime, or how entire religious communities are rallying around a criminal who is about to be sentenced or was just sentenced to time in jail for financial fraud. Or we read how Haredi Jews are rioting in Jerusalem or how rabbis in Israel are not sensitive to issues facing woman. All these stories are about the people who claim to practice religion. And whilst the people represent the religion they are not the religion itself.

It was reported that the security services in the United States have asked Barack Obama to refrain from using his Blackberry device. They say that it is difficult to secure the communications that are sent from a handheld and that it could therefore be a security risk. Many of us are very concerned for the safety of the President-Elect, especially those of us who are members of a minority group and have been subjected to hatred from bigots and know how virulent and irrational that hatred can get. Nonetheless, it seems that Barack Obama has not yet decided to cede to this request of the security services and part with his Blackberry device. Recommend this article... |
