Islam extremists,,are they blessed Muslims or cursed Muslims? I mean the ones that take the Quran literally. The ones who believe they have done well in Allahs eyes by destroying a so called idol or a system that wars against theirs.
What do you believe?
When I hear their words and see what it is the world has taught them, I become sad in knowing they believed they had no other option left. I don't believe they 'enjoy' death and destruction, but more they have grown to accept it and to seek what comes from it. They believe they're being tested, and perhaps they are, but I would personally prefer the issues to be resolved on the level of intelligence that on the level of flesh.
Out of all I've seen, from everyone's different sides, perhaps their truth isn't the real problem. Maybe the presentation of that truth is to blame. For instance, if I told you the only way to leave this world is by Death, no one would argue with me... because it is something we can all see and we all know it. It doesn't matter what your religion is, what your gender is or what your race or species is. Death is that well known here.
But where matters of religion are concerned, conflicts have occured and were not resolved forcing the people to follow the different leaders and these people are now caught between the conflict of these leaders. It isn't that the conflicts can't be resolved... but the people are made to suffer because the leaders won't, even though they're the ones who caused the disputes in the first place. Why are these leaders so lazy?
Because it takes work to resolve a dispute on the level of intelligence. It's up to you to find a way to present your complaint in a way that everyone can understand it. You have to face off with the ones you're making accusations against and you would have to pay attention to every word they had to say, as well as keep track of your own.
Back in the ancient days, it was considered a serious offense to make an accusation against another person. It was lawful, but would require both parties involved, the accuser and the accused, to enter a chamber together and basically kiss their lives good-bye until the matter was perfectly settled between them. They had to prove their complaints to each other in private, not in front of other people. Why? So their disputes would not be allowed to pollute the community and breed dissent among the people faster than a plague... which is where we all are now. And also, for dignity.
These men should not have to blow up buildings to be heard and answered, but they're soldiers. It's all they have. Maybe if the leaders were more willing to do the work they are supposed to be doing, these men wouldn't need to?
It isn't like they don't have valid complaints. Ah, the old 'Pen vs Sword' thing.
