Question of the Day: Is God Democratic?posted by Yudhvir Ranchod at 8h43 GMT on Oct 10
Today's question raises a controversial topic that has a significant relevance for the current state global politics. The role of religion within politics has divided statesmen and citizens for centuries. Religion within state structures has varied across the world, leaving the debate on religion's applicability in ruling structures open-ended. The recent use of religious extremism in the form of terrorism has contributed the mistrust between secularist governments and religious figures. The featured movie, Bloody Cartoons, explores this topic as well as the debate on the right to freedom of expression.
