After watching a show called Question Time on BBC 1 this last weekit dawned on me just why the world is the way it is right now, For the Government i.e. The Labour Party and its Beleaguered Leader Tony BlairUnited Kingdom seems to be torn apart in regards to Terrorism, Religion and Parliament!

I found myself utterly flabbergasted by it all. It sure has been an interesting week for everyone concerned Going back to the Show I watched, Question Time Which is a weekly TV Debate show had opponents from each political party and the odd special guest like in this case Lesbian Comic Rhonah Cameron and another guy I had never heard ofWith David Dimbleby Hosting it was one hell of a show but what got to me was the crowd which almost seemed hand picked, Reason for me to believe that this was case, was fact that most of the audience which was white had hardly any effnic minorities.

Topics of the week discussed was mostly about the Prime Ministers defeat in the commons and the Race Riots in France. So it was an Interesting show to watch...But what left me upset and angry was the fact that as a Black man living in the UK and knowing what I know about Racism, Discrimination, Cultures and Life as a wholeI was struck by just how backward this country truly is.

Some people in the UK blame the fact that 7/7(The London Bombings) was because the UK raged war on Iraq but for me because of the lack of education in regards to extremist groups from around the world and the simple fact that this was going to happen anyway but it was all just a matter of time. 9/11 Happened well before Iraq and there has been so many incidents of bombings well before and after 9/11. It was going to happen to all countries which celebrate freedom amongst it people. But imagine this, you are a normal man with a normal life, good family and friends and then one day you attach explosives to your body and then enter a train or bar and kill innocent people..'? This has happened so many times now, so many stories of this type of change in behaviour in people that make them do what they do. Now what makes a man or woman do this? I dont think that question can be answered but I think we can elaborate on it a little.

My point of view is that Religion has a lot to answer for! Everything comes back to that one issue, Religion and the lack of innate education between all races. To me no one really understands what religion truly is, I know I dont!

I hardly ever go to Church and when I do its for the odd christening and funeral! As for my faith, I dont have one! I believe in what I can see and do as a human being living on this planet, why because life doesnt give me enough reason to believe in something other than what is going on around me, sorry mum, I know that may hurt you to hear but its how I feel. Anyhow back to the point at hand, the world is this way right now because Religion dictates everything we do believe it or notMuslims have there beliefs, Christians have theirs and well all the others, God knows!

But what it shows is that people need something to believe in and are easily taken in by these true or false religions. Thus the way the world is...Watching this show made me feel so lost and disappointed with Democracy, Equality and Freedom and that we are all created equal. These days I dont think all three exist. We are supposed to be going forward as Humans Beings but it seems we are gong backwards. The Destruction of humans is an everyday accurance these days, is that what Christ would have wanted? I know I cant answer that, I am sure though the religious people of this world will have their own point of view on that one but for me it will always be a bit of a joke.

Peoples points of views are always interesting to hear but sometimes I think that people should understand and educate themselves more on topics and issues before speaking their minds and worse of all going on TV and making a fool of themselves. I am fed up with these TV shows that have people on which are supposed to reflect the people from the streets and putting their own points of views across. For me thats a load of bull! I would like to see a show where they get loads of Muslims and other Religious factions on so that the real point of view in regards to how the world has change because of Religious beliefs, only there and then we will get a good debate on how things really are and what the real people are thinking.

Only then will someone like my self and for me a lot of other effnic people living in the UK and around the world will understand a little to what is going on in the world we live. It is so easy to ignore things that happens around you but when it affects you in a certain way then its time to take notice and not ignore what is going on.
