Re: What effects will it really have

Unfortunately such statements and agendas tend to inflame such situations.

The unconscious of man creates all problems. Divisions and conflict will persist as long as there are those that support an opposition to them... it helps them in continuing to be there... because they are in some way connected to each other. If you want to get rid of so-called radical-extremism, then you will have to get rid of the radical-extreme politician that is helping to create the other to be there for conflict to occur.

The tendency is for the two opposites to attract each other. The terrorists and the nationalist flag wavers both are extremists.

History continues to repeat itself because man continues to remain mostly unconscious. The extreme Christian politician and extreme Muslim cleric/politician are unconsciously drawing each other toward creating another holy war...

Jump off the coin altogether and one will be better able to avoid getting caught up into the fray. Man is first and foremost a human being... if he chooses to consider himself as such... But most consider themselves something else to be first and foremost...  a white man, a black man, a red man, an American, an Englishman, a Canadian, a Jew, a Mohammedan, a Christian, a Democrat or a Republican, a businessman, a soldier, a teacher, a scientist or a lawyer... And being a human being is not a consideration at all... it was not even on the list.

When the first step is missed, all the other steps are missed as well.
