Terrorism Has No Religion.

Since the bombing in London, fear, hatred and the inevitable knee-jerk reactions from the stupid or the easily led have started to overtake sanity.

Again.

Terrorism is not about religion, faith, or spirituality. Terrorism is about hate, pure and simple. Attacks on Muslim Mosques do nothing to end the barbaric attacks carried out by madmen bent on causing agony. The abuse of the civil rights of Muslims all over the world will not stop megalomaniacs from fulfilling their twisted dreams. Al Qaeda is not a religious group, Muslim or otherwise, no more than the KKK is a Christian organization.

Those people who choose to attack Muslims or their places of worship are no better than the terrorists on whom they vow vengeance. Violence is never the cure for violence. Goons and bullies will use any excuse to behave immorally, terrorism did not corrupt them, lack of conscience did.

Terrorism is a complex problem and its eradication will not be easy. Until the world "superpowers" come to terms with their culpability and take steps to right many of the wrongs they have visited upon the lesser powers, nothing will change. Imagine how much the average Afghani or Iraqi citizen hates George Bush, and detests his self-important, self-serving, paternalistic attitude. The man has created an atmosphere of hostility and violent unrest, and his country has paid dearly. Tony Blair is just as guilty of creating a culture of loathing and revulsion with his heavy-handed policies and his inability to take care of the problems in his own country before giving unwanted advice to independent countries.

Cool heads must prevail, or the world is in for untold horror.
