Do you also feel that democracy has two faces, because democratic US has
backed several dictators when it was in our interest.
If someone from a country claiming his/her country represented
compassion, justice, democracy, harmony and all good things argued that you
should come to his/her country because the US massacred Indians, enslaved
and brutally treated Blacks, prevented women from voting for many years,
backed dictators, unjustly attacked Vietnam and Iraq, and backed several
dictators, would you move to that country, or would you feel as an American
you should stay here and try to use democracy and other positives in the US
to try to make our country better
If the latter, what makes you think that people immersed in other
religions are going to suddenly become Jains, a religion they know almost
nothing about? Perhaps it might be better to argue that people should try to
apply the best aspects of their religions, including compassion.
All the best,
Richard
