Apartheid in south Africa and the role that the dutch reformed church played in supporting it?

terry g asked the question:


No one can deny that the dutch reformed church in south africa supported apartheid. But wonder of christianity is that every other christian denomination not only condemned aparthied but became a vocal voice towards abolishing it.

when are we going to see muslims taking that stand in islam and openly speaking out against islamic cruelty?

    Funny. I don’t quite remember it that way. I do know that Christians still use the same arguments that they used to impose apartheid to oppress gays and other minorities around the world and Christians are still just as silent as before. Many Christians even offer support for bigotry. But if you want to start and Muslims too, I’m all for it.

    When people use churches or denominations for their selfish needs,the end result is selfish interests like apartheid and terrorism.At no time have bible or koran encouraged their adherants to use selfish reasons to advance their selfish interests.Apartheid was preached by Dutch reformed church to advance interests of white communities in South Africa at the expence of majority blacks there.Same is happening with some Islamic fundamentalists in the world,hence the suicide bombs and other atrocities we are witnessing today in the name of religion.This is wrong in the eyes of the lord.Religion is for peace only and good intention.
