Religious Bigotry

Sydney 2 June 2017

No matter how high someone's education level is, no matter how long someone has lived abroad, someone can just be a bigot when he/she is religious closed-minded person. I know a lot of people who have very high education levels, or who have lived quite long time in secular countries, but they keep posting hate speeches and narrow-minded comments in regard to their religion's perspective.

When they come to the verses in their holy book, their brain cells just become dead. They won't accept any outside perspectives that contradict with what their religion says. They have an absolute truth so they will not be bothered to find any explanation against their belief.

They have lived in secular countries and enjoyed the secular system. They study and get living from those countries. But they don't really mingle with the local culture. They have their own exclusive community that keeps their own value: narrow-mindedness. The cases of Indonesian restaurant "Willis Canteen" in Sydney and "Salero Minang" in Den Haag have shown how hypocritical they have become.
