>>"Killing 6000 people was a great good for some; it was an horrific evil for others."
>No, it was objectively evil.
Greg, you must be wilfully misunderstanding.
To the terrorists, they were doing the will of Allah. What they did was - absolutely - good.
Some sympathisers say what they did was good.
Some others say it was a necessar evil - killing innocents, for a greater good.
We see it as evil. Absolutely, and unequivocally.
And the holy word from either side can be used both to condemn, and to justify.
If, 1000 years from now, the earth is ruled and populated by Islamic fundamentalists, what will the 'objective' view be then? Who will say them nay?
Or if Islam is by then extinct, what then?
I don't hear any 'objective' voice, ex caelo or de profundis, on either side. Did I miss that bit on CNN? |
