Can't justify religious killings
Can't justify religious killings
We have no choice as to where or what we are born. We could be born white, black, Hindu, Christian, tall, short, smart or with mental problems. We could be born in Europe, Asia, Siberia or Serbia. We don't have a choice. For that reason I don't think it's right that a group of people whose ancestors created one religion have the right to kill and take over the property of people whose ancestors created a different religion.
From what I see on TV and read in the papers groups of extreme Muslim radicals want to kill anyone who do not believe as they do, including other Muslims. They are trying to take over the world. I am frightened because I think they are succeeding. Not only did they succeed in taking over some African countries but the have made inroads in France and England. Most countries haven't done anything to stop them and if they don't, civilization will be gone.
Other issues help. For example money, which everyone needs to survive. There is much money to be made selling arms and arms manufacturers seeing the need for conventional tools of war changing have now created a new market, the general public. Weapons originally meant for the military are now in the hands of gang bangers and many politicians are afraid to do anything about it for fear of being forced out of office by weapons makers.
Another big moneymaker is movies. Movies influence some peoples thinking. When those folks see movie heroes killing people they get the impression it's cool. Move producers understand that but if they don't make movies with violence, or sex they can't make enough money.
Goodbye civilization.
