An Open Comment To The Call For Dialogue Between The World And Islam

A polite and well meaning man named Yursil has commented here that protestation is something new to the moslem culture, and the reason why peace loving followers of islam do not raise the hue and cry over countless atrocities committed by members of their faith.

Bottom line. Were I to see a child or old person being harried by thugs, I'd exert every last effort of life to stop it. One does not need a primer, or cultural education to step in to prevent an act of terrorism. If the child or senior were dressed from head to toe in moslem attire, it would make no difference. Adults are of course another matter, as intervening in every squabble between hale and healthy people of a maturity is best left to law enforcement, but if one person were set upon by many I'd still want to at least know why, and would at least call the authorities.

Moslems seem incapable of even that. Asking why. Aloud. Enough for others to hear and thusly brand them civilized. You cannot escape what the world labels those who profess a lack of understanding with regards to something etched within our very genetic structure. This is a human condition, not a learned one.

Religion has long been one of the scary things in life, a divider of mankind for as far back as history takes us. One definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This does appear to be a definition of islam, as well. Attack us, and we will render you incapable of repeating such an endeavor. It has happened before, and will happen again. In perpituity. Modern religions have taken a turn for the civilized, and do not threaten to kill each and every last person who disagrees with them or their deity. Nowhere in the world today do I find Christian or Jewish leaders exhorting the faithful to destroy islam. This is a good thing, but of course. Islam may very well have to be destroyed if it continues to do murder the world over, but such determination MUST be secular. Allowing the shamen to tell us who to lay plunder to belongs in the history books.

And all of islam may needs be too. Relegated to history, I mean. A terrorist will explode a nuclear weapon within a large city. The devastation will be incalculable, the response swift and forever. To be islam is to be anathema. Stop it now, you can do it and we can help. Before it's too late.
