The logic of the fiery monotheists is quite straight forward if you
believe that your God is the one true God and all others are false
idols.
It runs like this: those who persecute Muslims deserve to die
(see Myanmar) and those who are persecuted by Muslims deserve to die
(see Indonesia).
Those who haven't had their minds poisoned by violence
rightly see such a doctrine as the absolute, insane antithesis of
tolerance. But the question is, do they do anything about it?
Recently I read something to
the effect that tarring all Muslims with the terrorist brush is like
tarring all Christians with the KKK brush in the US. Well of course this
is true. There are millions upon millions of peaceful Muslims all over
the world. Ask yourself this t
though...where are the KKK now? They are in
the dustbin of history, and why? Because people (whites included)
fought and died for civil rights.
Of course the US is not a racial
paradise but it civilized itself (internally at least, foreign policy is
another question) through struggle and blood and this was achieved
through a doctrine of non-violence. And here? Well, who will stand up
and fight for justice? It'll take real bravery, make no mistake.
