Tolerance, differences and peace

07 Apr

GuerrasCoréiaWhen discussing tolerance and associate with religious fundamentalism, rarely associate with the ideological and political fundamentalism, the reason is simple that in the history of treaties on tolerance, religious discussion was with the John Locke about this (see post).

Interestingly it was precisely when this pact took hold, with Catherine of Tolerance Edict of Medici, who tried to fend off the fanaticism of Lutherans and Catholics that had caused many wars and crises, the Tolerance Edict is 1562 after the peace of Amboise 1563, was preceded by a series of religious, trade and territorial war, war calls the 30 years (1618-1648).

The wars of today are based more on cultural differences, with a religious background, but cease to be commercial and also territorial, but fundamentalism is another, most often with ideological and / or religious roots, but remember that the Afghanistan was dominated by Russia and was where the US fought a war in 1968 before the Vietnam war, and even before the Korean war between 1950 and 1953.

These wars now explode into conflict as the Ukraine-Russia, internal problems in most of the Latin American countries, and just a lack of understanding of the historical reasons compromising peace and attempts to dilute the deep existing social differences here.

Even the radical Islamic state can not be understood to be the important cultural differences between the Arab world and the West, there is another fundamentalism in progress.

In addition to the ideologies, fizzing in Latin America, there is an ignorance of the cultural, ethnic and even religious differences that can create deep and raise new fundamentalism in Europe is difficult to get the Arabs.
