A clash of civilization or a clash of beliefs? Part 5

"A turbulent world"
How do we live in a world
we disagree with? How do we live with contradictory ideologies in a turbulent world?
We still do not realize that it is no longer possible to turn this world around, nor to change it for the better, nor to stop its miserable flow forward. There was 
only one possible resistance: not to take it seriously.
It is not true what is rumored that the oppressed forget easily, as many people live their lives hostage to ideas that were imprinted in their depths since their childhood years.
The soul, when it is under intense gaze, does not cease to grow, swell and inflate, in order to finally fly towards the heights like a wonderfully lit balloon.
The mind expands to accommodate a new idea, then it never returns to its normal size when it realizes that that idea does not satisfy its healthy human nature.
Many terms, multiple ideas, and many concepts, "dialogue of religions, clash of civilizations, clash of ideologies, imperialism, liberalism...etc." What civilizations are they talking about and which religions are they talking about?!
What is important is not only the words of speech, nor the multiplicity of terms, but rather the content and what includes those ideas and terms.
The concept of dialogue has its rules and basics, the first of which is that it is between equals, so what if parity is not available?
There are not several religions until there is dialogue. It is one religion since Adam, peace be upon him, passing through Abraham and the rest of the prophets to this day, and it is Islam. There may be a dialogue whose subconscious meaning is “I don’t care about you, I don’t feel your absence or your presence, nor am I convinced of what you say, nor do I acknowledge your law within me, as if they are repeating a memorized sentence.”
Our biggest problem as Muslims is that we have emotional hearts and mature minds, so we mock those who are emotional with a conscious mind, even though our hearts quiver from simple emotional situations.
Cartoon movies make us cry. Our hearts break for the crying of a small child. We don't know how to prevent his tears from falling, but we also know that silly ideas hurt us.
It is a mean irony that the dialogue between the unequal becomes a dogma, a monotheism and a constitution of life.
