#the saudis love interfaith work despite actively oppressing christian and non muslim minorities in their country

[hymnsofheresy]

its so funny because i specialize in interfaith dialogue. but when it comes to interfaith work there are two sides of the coin. there is the most well known kind of interfaith work where you are working within a community to bring about a mutual understanding of different religious groups; essentially enabling people to form and create genuine relationships with each other.

and then there is like the diplomacy and corporate aspect of it. working either with governments to engage in dialogue so they either don’t kill each other. or alternatively, working with capitalists to make sure they can coordinate with oil barrons or whatever.

anyway, sometimes the lines between the two kinds of work is a bit blurry, and i don’t like it. especially when someone suggests i should work for the saudi royal family that they personally could get me a position in.
