The Real Terror: The Rise of Xian Fundamentalism
Islamic fundamentalists did this...Islamic fundamentalists did that...blah, blah, blah. What about the flip-side to that coin? Check it out one day, and you'll see the beardy-weirdy face of Jesus looking back at you...
We hear biblical references in Bush's speeches all the time...."the crusade for freedom"..."God bless Amercia"..."I welcome faith to help solve the nation's deepest problems"..."The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity"...if you look it up, the back-catelogue is endless...
Do you not think by making Xianity a direct force behind America's 'War on Terror' half the globe is being alienated? It's no wonder that even temperate Muslims view the 'War on Terror' as a direct assult on their beliefs and their way of life.
Outside of the US, most people overtly recognise the ideological belief system behind the campaign as a Xian one. This is because nearly all other democratic nations have long given up the ridiculous linking of the Church and the State. I read a report in a newspaper the other day that well over half Amercians believe in the legitimacy of REAL 'angels'! The article went on to say that there was no data on what the percentage of Europeans thought as the question was deemed too ridiculous to merit a survey!
The majority of the Muslim nations under attack are poor, so their only response to what they see as a fully fledged 'war' is through diabolical acts of terrorism as they lack the capabilities in the most part to act in any other way.
We're not going to see an end to the covert terrorists attacks from the Muslim side, until we see a ceasing of the more cryptically covered Xian ones.
I find it disgusting that America believes it has a right to do this.
Want freedom? Got Jesus? OK...here you are.
What a joke.
