In a world where political parties rule governments and battle for control, the many Muslim states fail to grasp the concept of freedom from the view of the Western world. There has been much conflict and bloodshed to attest to such differences for the West has always operated on democratic forms of government. Even some of the staunchest Allys of the West in the many Muslim worlds operate under more archaic political structures where the few control the fate of the many. Religion is also another front at which militants twist and turn the tables on religious teachings to incite violence from their followers. In India, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan, the battle rages in what can be described as a battle of ideologies. The people of Iraq now scorn the US Occupation for which they have attained freedom from the oppressive rule of Saddam and his Republican Guard, why, they are not used to being free and making their own decisions. The Palestinians and the Iranians follow their religion and the words their leaders project, which ever way they point may it be for good or bad.
The differences on this earth may never end but think of this, our differences is what makes us unique and different from everybody else, our culture and beliefs dictate our lives much so that we do so each and everyday without question. If we were all different, then there would be no need for conflict, but it would indeed be a dull world to live in.
