Eight years ago today religious fanatics hijacked planes full of Americans, Indians, Englishmen, and many other nationalities. Just imagine what it was like, to see people who look like any other Americans, dressed in modern clothing, rise up with hatred on their minds and anger in their eyes. What did we do to deserve this.. those innocent victims must have asked, as the psychopaths in question screamed "Allah-hu-Akbar".. Why do I have to lose the only life I know and love.. they must have thought, as the perpetrators, heavenly virgins on their minds, flew these planes into buildings, causing death and destruction on a scale unseen in the US since the civil war.
Such a waste of REAL human life and property, all lost for the sake of a delusional fantasy dreamed up by an medieval, illiterate, war-mongering pedophile around 1500 years ago. And now the same people who claim to be "Secularists", atheists, anti-theists.. who rise up with passion, as do I, when we see prayer in public schools, and "in God we trust" on the US dollar and when nuts like Jerry Falwell call ours a "Christian nation".. these same people appear to go out of their way to apologize for this mad delusion and its destructive tendencies. These same people, many of them Indian-Americans, for whom the only two countries that really matter are ones under constant threat, who go out of their way to avoid causing "offense" to others. To them I say.. where has your Reason gone? Do you have any principles at all?
Shame on those who who wish to protect a nonsense ideology which would rob you of your Life and Liberty. It is self hating masochism, pure and simple. I often hear "Don't tar an entire religion with the actions of a few extremists".. What nonsense! Given the ideology in question, it's a miracle that Muslims are on average good, decent people. Here we have, held up as the ideal for all Homo Sapiens, a madman who chooses obedience and faith over logic and reason. Held up as the ideal parent, a man who raped a 9 year old girl, after forcing her into marriage at 6. Held up as the ideal statesman, a man who personally decapitated 500 Jewish men, and took their wives and children as slaves. A man who should be mentioned only in the same breath as Hitler, Genghis Khan and other such tyrants.. yet whose images are now pixelated by AMERICAN media.. all, of course, in the name of not causing "offense"!
This is not an argument against Muslim people, most of whom as I have mentioned, are good and decent members of our species. It is an argument against deluded ideologies, mental weakness and political correctness, that must be fought by those who believe in secular human ideals such as the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. We must not leave this fight to fanatical Christians, Jews and Hindus.. it is our responsibility as rational people to stand firm against religious nonsense whenever and wherever we see it.. even if some people must be "offended" in the process.
