I think we are wading in uncharted territory, and as such, I am free to change my old opinions as I learn new things.
Maybe in the end, after we strip all the labelling B.S. away, it is a war between those who believe that every person on this planet should have some basic rights and freedoms vs. those who do not.
For now, it seems, that those who would oppress humanity in the name of race, culture or religion are the enemy. Theoretically speaking, they need not be vanquished by death or anything like that; however, this would mean that they would need to voluntarily give up on the idea of imposing their ideology by force onto those who do not wish to be subject to their rule.
Of course, this is our dogma, so we could go around and around all day, and get nowhere, but the bottom line is this: no one has the right to take away human lives. No one. How we see to this, I don't know. |
