The religions and cultures should not be compared...because culture rules people and society.
If so, a clash of culture begins...problems cannot be solved.This is my advice.Experience is talking...

why should not be compared?
culture rules over society? wow, you've just opened my eyes! thats why there are so many idiots who prefer to be ruled by customs and traditions instead of using brains!!! they do not have their own ideas for their lives therefore they go and share their ancestrial damn fate.
thank you!

For the attention of femme_fatal =
I understand you little girl…I see your feelings about this topic..This topic is not a topic between (a) and (b) religion.İt is international confllict and dilemma.…I can tell it like you.İt is an easy way. But you will learn it as time goes on……Because you build a dream castle in the air…Maybe you are a cultured and well-educated person.But everybody is not like you…This is your personal and sincere and honest opinion..Because their culture is their brain..Their brain is their culture..Traditions and customs are laws.An organism…They rule the community like laws.. Could you change their brain soon?It takes a long time..Is it easy way?. One-winged bird doesn’t fly. It is a big process and challenge...Are you a hero?I understand your feelings.

Culday, I respect your ideas, but you really didn't give enough reason to agree with your statement. While I agree that cultures differ fundamentally and it takes the insider's knowledge to be able to judge them rightly, but why not gather your knowledge and try to justly question some aspects of a culture? It is running away out of fear of a conflict to say that there will be a cultural clash and it's better not to question cultural behavior. Obviously, one has to be knowledgeable about the true causes and understand the underlying reasons, but what is so wrong with trying to do that? Isn't it by self criticism and comparison with the more successful ones in the desired area that people and places can change for the better?

For the attention of Catwoman friend=
The biggest war in this world is the war against the ignorance.Look at the world.The cultures, customs, traditions and laws rule the world countries.Who are well-educated and cultured and intellectual?What is culture and civilizations?You are having culture and civilization from the community and the community is giving you culture and civilization..This is a cultural, economical and social trade.You know and get the only culture and civilization they give.You don’t create a new culture and civilization.Your opinion is limited according to your culture.Your brain is limited according to your world.Except marginal opinions…What is your culture?I don’t know.Is you culture excellent and scientific?Can you judge your culture by using your brain? Can you criticize?Can you stop cultural and hot wars in the world?Can you solve internatonal conflicts and dilemmas? In fact, Culture and civilizations we have rule the world.Have you read these books = (1) "The Rise and fall of the great powers" by Paul Kennedy, (2) "The Clash of civilizations and the remarking of world order" by Samuel P.Huntington And the other books.Have you read the novel “Crime and punishmentâ€by Dostoyevski?According to science and history and literature , civilization is unique, but culture are differents.There is diversity in the world.And we should respect other people’s cultures.(Sorry my English is not good, I am just a student).But good brain,true path and enlightenment are important concepts.

I'm not sure if I understand your point of view correctly, but it's a dangerous message to say that nobody should ever judge other cultures. In that case, all the human rights violations happening around the world, "because it's their culture" would never be questioned and the mentality of those people would never be challenged or shown another way.

I would like to finish your paragraph with a more fair thought... that 'those people' would also challenge our mentality and show us another way as well. Humans are symbiotic. We need each other same as the flower needs the bee...

Sorry, but I think THIS message is dangerous... who is the judge to decide which culture is better and which culture is endangering human rights? Each nation has right to have its own culture and to be respected. If I wouldn't respect all the cultures of this world, I would call myself a racist and a nationalist. Why? Because EACH culture has its own faults and must rid of them by its own strength, not with "help" of other nations and countries, which are maybe even worse. What's good for me maybe isn't good for someone else and vice versa. If I ever dare to say "My culture is better", then I claim right to send my airplanes and bombs as well... no, catwoman, you know I respect you, but this was very wrong.
