I don't understand these 2 statements. If religion is not separated from politics, then how is it that you can be sure that the government would not choose for you what religion to follow? As I understand it, in Afghanistan a person was threatened with death for not following the state-sanctioned religion.

If you cut the words or sentences like a journalist you cannot understand Anon. The two were different cases from different views, as she said from the very beggining. Had you read the rest instead of focusing on the sentence you would have understood better.

cut the words like a journalist means???? I do not write without reading previous posts, I repeat only sentence again and again which have common sense, what I write is, the people, the politians wheither they are muslims, christians or jews, If they believe on the Creater, why don't follow the laws of the Creater simple. Because I've been hearing from them, they responce or announce excitedly yes we believe on the Creater but in case of following the laws of HIM they remain silence.

you know, journalists detach some words or sentences from passage regardless of the correlation with the context.
However, the two assertion were different cases,as far as i can see. In the first one it is the Islamic law,Sharia.If the country is a muslim country with a majority and they believe the rules of God and his orders, why not?
In the second one, think about India. India's religious affairs are manifold.Assume that the government is Buddhist and they want to implement the rules of Budhism. What would be to those who are Muslims or Christians?Or suppose that the government is constituted from Muslims.If they implement Sharia what would be to those who are Budhist or etc. Then the second assertion comes as correct."The government should decide what the legislation is better."

From the very beginning of civilization we found that war and capturing land was a part of politics, whatever may be the issue,till the second world war.But after the formation of UNO there are certain rules and regulations although some countries are still interfaring in others' internal affairs which according to me is unjustifed .Spiritual belief is totally different from politics.Every counntries' government should take decision for the welfare of their citizens (health , education ,employment,evironment,economic developement,external affairs etc)and people should follow citizen'rights and citizen's duties. But when it comes about religion,whether one worships Allah or Jesus or Buddha ,it is his /her personal matter.Government should only take care that whether one religion is creating hindrance to other or not.

I don't think so. Maybe religions can be a powerful weapon for the governor. Chinese has an ancient proverb: "Occpy heart is better than occupy the town. " Blooding is not a good idea to conquer our enemies though they were under control apparently.They will defy you at any possible time. While one's heart belongs to you, both his/her hear and body belongs to you.
Religions can make such effect. So politics will make full use of the religion weapon to control you. It's governs' powerful weapon!

Its a different point of view but I completely agree with you on your argument, Sandy ; and especially i really liked that Chinese proverb "Occupy heart is better than occupy the town"

Sandy, I also appreciate the proverb "Occupy ....................".But when the religion becomes the issue of fighting( which often we watch in politics) what would be your opinion.
