There are no native Japanese Muslims. Japanese don't consider you native just because you're born there. And in this case they're being completely reasonable, why would any country willingly start having cemeteries in the 21st century if they managed to avoid it until now?
Japan has always had the right idea about multiculturalism. To reject it.
What have Japanese Christians - particularly Catholics - been doing for the past 3-4 centuries?
Kudos to them
Many Catholics choose cremation, even in Europe
Wish the US was like this
This is due to recent events of Muslim people burying their dead on private property and without permission in some areas of Japan.
Imagine one morning you have a dead Mohammed on your property...
When Muslims bury their dead in a place, they declare it sacred ground. They pray over it and claim it for Allah. From then on, they view the place as theirs and will kill you if you deny their claim. This is about Japanese survival.
Japanese are way smarter than Europeans and it shows
"but then they won't have all the good food!"
They already have enough Muslims in the country, to need to debate it in parliament.
And it's still only less than 1% of their population, last time i checked.
Well, that's over 1 million.
Oh, i wasn't arguing in their favor. I was just saying how few it can take for them to become a societal issue. Sorry, not sorry🤷.
Muslims and Jews both labor under the burden of not recognizing that Jesus died for their sins, so that they don't have to earn salvation by following a bunch of obscure rules. Makes it difficult for them to integrate into other cultures.
Do you know what Jesus represents for Muslims?
It's true that they find it difficult to integrate into other cultures. They're both descended from the Ancient Israelites. Imagine fighting your distant family members for thousands of years. War is the only culture they know. Not an easy truth, but it is the #truth. I've witnessed it too many times.
Yes. He is quite central to Islam as a great prophet, His mother is especially honored (which I appreciate), and He has significance in the End Times.
But they deny that He is the Son of God, or that He died on the cross for us, so that we can have eternal life. Which precludes the Trinity. So, they waste their time on Earth fiddling around with rules and legalisms, and annoying their neighbors, instead of _paying attention to what actually matters_. Which is what is in the Apostel's Creed.
I suppose they would say Christian integration is proof of our capitulation, but we have no concept of earthly Utopia. I think this is an essential difference.
They may say that. And it's true. We have no functional concept of Utopia that can coexist with multiculturalist ideals. But Christian and Catholic integration has proven to be far more beneficial than fanatical Islam ones.😮💨😮💨sorry, not sorry.
Sucking papal dick, they have. They took the Mark of the Beast for years, most of them unknowingly.
Well, you added "fanatical" to the Islam, which skews the comparison. Truly fanatical Christians can also be difficult to get along with. Fanatics are always at least irritating.
There are some fanatical Catholics on here, who rant at me in the comments, and they're pretty horrible.
That said, due to all of their derailed rules and rituals dealing with normal, everyday things — like butchering and burials and clothing and separating the sexes and etc. — even the non-fanatical ones are difficult to integrate because they want an extra this and an exception to that and it just never seems to end.
Their religions come along with a lot of cultural baggage that Christianity doesn't have.
That is why you can convert from orthodox Judaism or Islam to orthodox Christianity, and the most noticeable "external" difference is that you start going to religious services on a different day of the week.
This goes back to the concept of circumcision of the heart, from St. Paul's letter to the Romans.
[[book:: Bible | Romans 2:25-29 | DRB]]
Fanaticism within the Christian and Catholic communities doesn't seem to be as widespread around here. But, I'm sure they're just as difficult.
Lol I'm not even going to ask what you said to make them rant.
😅I'm glad I'm not religious.
They can't stand me. 😂
I'd rather be Muslim or Jewish than irreligious, to be honest.
