Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #8 Islam: Two Perspectives

US POV
This article is about where S. Korea elects Kim Kwang-jin, who was the former South Korea's defense minister to come back beacause of the tensions between S Korea and ther North. He stated that he would airstrike the North if they attack S. Korea again, and was positive about that.

Islam POV
This article is basically the same as above, but has some differences. This article states that Lee Myung-bak had appointed Kim Kwan-jin because of his "expertise and insight in the policy and strategy fields, based on 40 years of experience in the military." (this phrase taken from the site listed above). If the North provokes, then he vowed to airstrike them at all cost.


The US POV seems to be right to the point, while the Islamic POV explains everything in detail. The US version only states to the most very important parts because they are involved in this, while the Islam news states the background information about how this led to that.
