Bita & Maria's Current Event

-“Britain's Prince Charles has called on governments around the world to do more to ensure religious freedom and urged religious leaders to promote tolerance between people of different faiths.”
-"My heart goes out to all those around the world but especially at this time in the East, whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist or Hindu, who are so brutally persecuted solely for the faith they profess,"

-Said in the Prince’s video message: “Christianity is under such threat in the middle east... Our future is a free society, either here in Britain and throughout the world, depends on recognizing the crucial role played by the people of faith… Giving space to to others, whatever their belief.” Then suggesting tangible causes of action that he believes that might be helpful to solve this issue.

  1. It's great to see that a public figure is asking countries around the world to provide their citizens with religious freedom. This makes me realize that even though we have the freedom to believe what we want a lot of other people don't. Those people deserve to be able to believe what they choose and it's good to see that someone is taking initiative and asking for rights for everyone.

  2. More religious freedom=more good news. It's good that there's more freedom to express one's faith. Like, we are all equal no matter what. Right? Nobody deserves to be prosecuted for their faith.

  3. I think that this is a good example as someone saying that the world should get more involved in religion and that this is important. PEople should express what hey believe in

  4. This is a good thing for religions world wide. This shows that people of other religions are trying to provide religious freedom for all religions. Why should anyone be judged on their religion, it's just what they believe in and they aren't bothering or hurting anyone else. People should just mind their own religion and try to be peaceful and get together with other regions that might share common traits.

  5. I think this is a great idea to implement with religious freedom. Since all human beings are made equal, it is a right thing for all people to have a belief in the religion that they would like to follow, as well as by have a faith in religion for all people would automatically bring a peace to the world.

  6. It’s kind of nice that an important figure is promoting religious equality. It’s unfair to discriminate someone for having a different belief. Everyone’s individual religion is true because they believe it to be.

  7. This is a very large step into Britain's tolerance towards various religions. In the past, the monarchy in Britain have not tolerated religions other than those who are Protestant. This shows that the world is slowly evolving into becoming more liberal towards different religions.

  8. This is a cool thing for him do do. people should express their religion more and people should have more religious freedom in all countries. So in general I agree.

  9. I agree with him in the sense that everyone has a right to believe in what they want, and they should have the freedom to express their own beliefs; without having others discriminate against them.

  10. It is a great things for religions around the world. A person who many people respect asking for governments to love all people. In out class ELE is important and that should be taken around the world no matter what situation.

  11. It's great that even royalty is willing to help stop religious prosecution. This just shows how much we care about each other's safety and that not everyone agrees with religious persecution. Every religious person/group should have religious freedom no matter where they are and what religion they are.

  12. Religous freedom is crucial to keeping peace. Aslong as no one tries to force a religions upon an another generally there no conflict. But religous freedom only truely exists if the body enforcing it has no biases towards any religion in particular.

  13. while the British monarchy has little political power their cultural sway is huge, even outside the U.K. . Many religions recognize the need to deal peaceably with other faiths, and this statement is a solid step to acceptance.

  15. It is really great that the celebrity person or person with high statue is sending this amazing message to all the world. It will definitely help people to know the God's message. Everyone should have religious freedom, therefore, avoid conflict and keep the peace in the world all time.

  16. While the message Prince Charles is sending is an admirable one, I feel like the message is being sent in the wrong way, and to the wrong people. While there are certainly some people in the Western world that could use a reminder of this lesson, the people who have the biggest issues with allowing religious freedoms are the Eastern Asian, and to a lesser degree the Eastern European countries. For them, a simple message on T.V. won't be enough to get the point across; only true activism and national pressure put on them will.

  17. Its great that there's really more freedom to express one's faith. We are 100% equal and no one should get judged killed or anything for their faith.

  18. Having well known political figures ask others to provide their citizens with religious freedom is certainly a way to get the issue addressed. When other countries hear this they Will feel pressured , they may be afraid that people without religious freedom will rebel.

  19. I think it's a good thing that someone well known is finally stepping up and saying something condemning religious persecution and promoting religious freedom. Thus, I am giving Prince Charles major props. This is especially important because if one of the "average" citizens said something about it, nothing would get done and it wouldn't be recognized. However because somebody well known is mentioning this issue it will actually be recognized and something will be done.

  20. This is amazing, religious freedom is always good news and the fact that someone well know addressed about that topic shows many people will be happy about it
