Religion Extremism

Religion extremism can be related to terrorism because the terrorists think that because of their religion they have to cause terror. An example is the boston Marathon bombers, they feel because they are muslim and that their father Anzor wanted them to embrace their religion and not be embarassed by it. The bombing suspects say they are not part of any islamic terrorist groups and they they were just trying to defend islam from attack from the U.S.A.

In the Brave New World they have none of this. Since they are all the same and don’t have any feelings or emotions they have no religion like we do in Canada. The only thing the people do in the New World State that is religious is taking Soma. Every week they have a Solidarity Service in a church and they religiously sit as a group and all take soma and chant songs as a group. I think they do this because they are all forced to try to feel as one and not be different then each other.

I think this is because the government in these countries control everything the citizens to
