Dear Sister Cariad, thank you for your reply. My post was about Greece as a country and the government. I did not mention the Greek Orthodox Church nor did I say or imply anything about Christianity or Christians being the problem or the causal root of the situation there.
I mentioned secular 'democracy' where things like the above should not happen. I also did not say the Church had any direct or indirect influence over the government. I was careful in my choice of words and who or what I blamed. I restricted my comments to the government itself and only when I mentioned 'two communities' being able to get on was I referring to Christians and Muslims. I did not say anywhere in my post that there is antagonism between them and I do not know of any at present, I merely expressed the hope that they would co exist peacefully.
I also did not mention 'immigration' or any specific social or religious issues of division between Christians and Muslims, perhaps the original poster did, but I did not. I kept my perspective fixed on the general issue of the topic itself and that was of there not being a place of worship in Athens for Muslims. You are right about immigration being a separate issue which is why I did not include it since it is irrelevant to the thread.
As to there being countries where Churches are not permitted to exist, I can agree and further state that it is wrong. Where they have been burnt or razed to the ground is just as wrong. Its a reality there are people, groups, organised assemlies of people and others who will do so either in the name of religion or belong to none but will do so for incitement between different religious communities (sometimes governments).
As a believer in Allah, I know peace will dawn, there will be rejuvenation of morals, divine justice will prevail and it is armed with these beliefs I find solace and contentment especially as we expect and realise Allah is the highest, greatest and best of planners. What He has in mind, we can only guess, but it will only be good, just, everlasting and better than what we could possibly imagine.
