I don't know about that, NightOwl.... >>>think of them as an excess of sub-35 year old males who have no faith in the civil order... instead of "barbarians." <<<<
Perhaps some of the problem comes from these creatures not knowing much, if any, of the history of the peoples they seek to destroy. (I do call them "murdering barbarians" rather than "terrorists")
It is "their way or the highway"...common criminals who have an agenda and would like us to believe that their Allah tells them this behavior is their "duty"....
I am reminded of the Lost Boys of Sudan.... They have had more misery than most people anywhere have had. And yet, there was a communal will, that prompted them to flee their country, and to seek a new life. Most, I believe, were/are of the Muslim faith. I don't know of any stories where a single one of the 3,500+ boys who came to the US have been in trouble, much less leading a jihad against the US civilians or their Government. Their's is a story that I wish everyone on earth knew about, our children especially! "Where there is a Will, there is a Way"...

I also believe that every person on earth has the power to TRY to better their situation by learning and applying The Golden Rule to their lives. I believe we all know of these basic things when we arrive here on earth. We simply learn more and more as we mature.
So, the people who are the murdering barbarians today, have evil intentions, and are doing their religious faith a huge disservice. |
