Resolutions
Let us revisit on our definition of religious persecution as stated on our welcome page:
|
Religious persecution is the persecution of individuals within a group in the struggle to maintain their religious identity, or the abuse of power by an individual or organization that causes members of a religious group to suffer. |
Our website has examined different levels of complexity on the issues of religious persecution. We discovered that religious persecution is a much more complex and controversial topic than we had ever imagined. We can not possibly pretend to have a found resolution to the problem of religious persecution and religious conflicts. The many shades of grey in these complex cases eliminate the possibility of a clear-cut resolution.
This website has tried to explore the spectrum of religious persecution and conflict through an examination of three in-depth cases: the Holocaust, China in Tibet, and the Sikhs versus the Indian government. However, religious persecution has occurred throughout history and to far more groups than we could ever present. Unless we continue to educate ourselves about these issues, religious persecution will no doubt continue. We need to become global citizens and pay close attention to the current events that have the potential to lead to religious persecution or religious conflicts. Only knowledge can help us avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
