It`s hard to believe that a spiritual leader might be fomenting violence. However, we have to be more than open minded to hear those kind of things...nothing can be a surprise by now

Sometimes it's really hard to try to understand different cultures... I think we can't judge them for what they're doing because we are not part of that... I still think it's terrible... but what can we do about it?
There's a lot to think about from this article...
Take care!
