A problem that had started small can grow big if not contained early enough. One person's problem with himself/herself can trigger a war between nations. This is my personal analysis of how the current fears of possible civilization clash were born.
He is from an X Moslem nation
He is a man of African origin
Strife erupted in his country
Civil War forced him to flee
He crossed the border
He became a refugee
He was resettled in the UK
Years later he moved to the US
He got assimilated and naturalized
Now he holds a US passport to travel
History classifies him as an African
Home Office records say he is British
His documents show that he is an American
With all these multiple idnetites
He declares Islam as being his idnetity
But religion is a spiritual belief, not an identity
This man has an internal conflict with himself
He is not clear which idnetity he belongs to
His national identity fights with his moral identity
He believes he can’t be a good moslem
While holding the identity of a non-moslem
He is a person in war with himself
He can only bring war to this world
When two identities are clashing out
Two cultures are fighting invisibly
And a fight between two cultures
Is a fight between two civilizations
I think you have a valid analysis, Abdi-Noor. I believe that we should have one identity in this world and the freedom to believe what one chooses to believe. Thank you. Love and peace to you,
This is probably the cause for some; but there are many others who have not this identity crisis who are still hell bent on death and destruction. I cannot understand. Well-written, Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed.

Unfortunately, God requires commons sense, but it never filters down to religion. Just obscene, nakedly stupid dogma. It's all BS, nothing more than a power play and economics disguised as "religion."
No one could state this better Brother Abdi-Noor. Thanks for sharing this insight and logic. Excellent picture you have painted it is much like the paradigm of being Black, American,and of African,White and Native American descent. One must choose or have chosen for them which culture will dominate. In America it is mostly chosen by the color of ones skin. I feel you. Peace, love, gratitude, and blessings for sharing this fine piece. <Mikii>

Good work.
He can only bring war to this world
Sounds like a truly sad situation, Abdi-Noor.
