Christian anger at conversion law

How narrow-minded people are these days! Surely every human is allowed the fundamental right of which religion they choose to follow. It is extremely unfair to force people to believe in just one religion just because it is what the government wants. In this modern day and age, dictatorships and their kind of laws should be frowned upon, not revived. Every religion should be given equal chance to gain followers, and only by this way can they prove their true worth among the global communities. People may say, "All is fair in love and war." But this battle for followers among various religions should be fought out fairly and without people being forced. It will only cause discontent and, as this article shows, upheaval among the affected religous parties. The world is suffering from enough conflict as it is, especially between Israel and Hezbollah, we do not need more of any kind to create more rifts.

There is a great deal of unfairness in this world. that is the reality of life.

Yet, there are certain things that people must fight for--and one of these things is religion.

To be able to believe in what one thinks is true. That should be a fundamental right of every human being. Yet, there are circumstances like this where people are denied that right.

Who can decide what people think of and believe in. The onus should be on every person to uphold the basic fundamentals of living--including the right to believe in what one wants to believe in.
