At issue is ignorance, about another culture and race. We see that with the Muslim community, concerning the western worlds intentions towards their society and religions The extremely real fear of being exploited by western powers for their natural resources.The believe that if western powers military, are allowed to participate in any form of social upheaval on the ground, they would lose their cause to western influence.
The believe that if that society gets too cozy with the west,they may find themselves with a autocratic government, unduly influenced by western interests. Historically this ends with a autocratic leader that the society becomes subjugated to.It always to date ends badly with a dictator who in short order abuses the society and is backed by western interests so long as the natural resources keep flowing in that direction.
The mistrust is on both sides of the political and religious spectrums.
Bigotry is a means of exploiting resources, in all it’s forms,be they social/economic, from a potentially weaker group with different social views. This reality clearly gains momentum and encouraged as greed takes hold of this reality.Bigotry is known to use intimidation,violence and a campaign of misinformation to obtain and keep those results. Also keeping group members, isolated from the weaker group, is mandatory, in sustaining the momentum of bigotry.
Now once established, any one group with some public forum then gains influence by perpetuating the misinformation. Influence is a addiction for some groups and must have it for it’s sake, and tend to perpetuate that groups superiority over the subjugated group in question.Being part of that group then feeds on feelings of self worth and self esteem as a result of being part of that group. Once the en graining is complete, there is no reasoning with those individuals as it is without reason. They will then mislead others when their believe system is threatened.
To change the bigotry, that has been ingrained, would remove that groups self worth and self esteem, hence, we see it all over the world, in all of it’s forms.The removal of ignorance and mistrust would be a start but the forces of mistrust will always win.
