Should We Be More Concerned About The Plight Of Christians In The Middle East, Than The Concerns Over Brexit?

[anotheoldgit]

Well Prince Charles seems to think so, but it is not just Brexit, it is over other important issues, but does our media spend so much time reporting on such things?

In fact I don't think that our media has covered the slaughter and ill treatment which is carried out on Christians very much, it seems they are more interested in the plight of Muslims.

People get slaughtered all over the world every day in the name of religion. Any strife caused by religion needs to be ignored as it is simply too widespread to worry about and many of the participants too fanatical to reason with (by their very nature, religions are generally irreconcilable with logic).

There will never be a balanced view on the relative persecution of different religious groups and in any case it doesn’t really matter. The UK government should concentrate on matters which effect the UK electorate. If and when they have sorted all those out then they may give some of their attention to the plight of foreigners caught up in religious strife.

The public are entitled to be obsessed with Brexit. Now the decision has seemingly been made that it will happen, swift action is needed to see it through. Prevarication leads to uncertainty, which does nobody any good. Unfortunately our politicians thrive on prevarication. It's the only thing they are any good - delaying a decision. They see taking swift decisions in the same vein as chopping off their right arms.

Meanwhile Prince Charles can think and do whatever he likes.

I don't think he's saying we should be more concerned, just that concerns over Brexit shouldn't swamp everything else.

Well put Zacs....that is exactly what Chas said.

Two very different issues but each important in their own right.

On the one hand we have a situation where the majority (albeit slight) voted to leave the EU but there has been much angst as to whether these wishes will come to fruition.

On the other hand is a situation which, on an individual basis, probably only causes a modicum of concern in the list of people's priorities of troubling issues.

Anyway, Prince Charles would be incorrect if AB was any yardstick. The current 'obsession' is Donald Trump!
