"But will you stand side by side with others and denounce ALL religious justifications for kidnapping, torture, killing, racism, genocide, and mistreatment? Will you speak against Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, and others? Will you condemn the scriptures and the words used to justify atrocities? Will you vilify the murder and the murderers?"
No. There is too much in your net. For example: If someone decides to oppress, rape, torture, or maim even one person within my sphere of influence, I reserve the right to stand against that person and kill them, if need be, to stop such conduct. Where-in such action is justified by any or all of the above referenced entities, I will not denounce any or all of them.
I will speak against any and all of those persons or groups who would use the above mentioned entities to cause harm to a single innocent person or to the vision of a peaceful coexistence of all. |
