If there is a moral to this tale, what would
that be?
It is clear that we must begin from some
basic and fundamental right, and that it is everyone’s right to behave as they
want, and do what they want as long as they do not harm others in the process.
ANY religion that condones killing in the name of the religion is one that does
not have a place anywhere on this earth.
The easiest method, especially in
influencing YOUNG minds is religion, as it gives people a moral basis for their
actions, and what they believe is right can then cause this sort of WRONG! NO
EXCUSES there.
Whilst in the interests of religious tolerance,
President Obama was right to say this is NOT fundamental Islam at work, as
there are Fundamental Christians, Buddhist, Jews and Hindus, too who have the
same view to life and murder in the name of religion and we should NOT pick one
for the sake of finger pointing.
How do we tackle these fundamentalist
ideal? They are making many people frightened to speak out against it, as it
either opens them to attack, even physical, so people rather NOT speak out
against such acts. Speaking out also appears to label moderates as traitors to
their religion, and so especially in Islam where dissent is seen as an attack
on the religion, people tend to shy away from speaking out against such
terrorism.
Take Wahabism in Sri Lanka. Various NGOs
primarily funded by private or Govt. Saudi sources, have over the past 40
years, through preachers assisted poor Muslim Communities and in the process, ingrained
their beliefs on the faithful, which have turned many Muslims from liberal to conservative,
most notable seem by the rest of the Community by their dress, with many more
men wearing ARAB dress, and women being covered from head to toe, in Black and some
completely covering their faces. Even when young Muslims are asked, they say
that it is the true following of their religion, and others are NOT proper
Muslims, an attitude, that NOT dissimilar to the lack of tolerance of ISIL and
AL Qaeda and Taliban.
WE MUST attack this notion that any religion not theirs is wrong, or different practitioners of the religion are NOT CO-RELIGIONISTS. THAT IS PLAIN WRONG, and anyone teaching that doctrine HAS NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY. Religious tolerance is permitting anyone to holds any belief they wish to hold, to do so, as long as it does not harm others. THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE THE TRUE MUSLIMS AND ANOTHER SECT ARE NOT do not have a right to hold such views. This attitude merely breeds insularity, finger pointing, and lack of tolerance of others.
IT IS TIME that the new Constitution, guarantees that freedom, so that fundamentalist, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews or Muslims or for that matter of any other belief have NO RIGHT TO claim superiority over others in the name of their belief.
WHY PICK ON ISLAM?
From this analysis it is clear that the
influence of Imams is a HUGE factor in the growth of Fundamentalism within
Islam, throughout the world, and when violence in the name of religion is
included, liberal societies that DO NOT subscribe to that ethic are open to
paying the price! The fundamentalists of other religions DO NOT advocate this
kind of violence, or even HOLY WAR, and so are less of a threat to OTHERS.
HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUTH from Fundamentalist
Teachings? They are the most easily influenced in such matters, as they do NOT
weigh the pros and cons of life, with little experience in the work environment
with people having different views to them on many matters. IT IS MY WAY OR NO
WAY.
This shooter was briefly married and had
abused his wife, because she did not do the housework in the way he wanted. So
it is clear that he wanted everything HIS WAY, and goes to the heart of this psychological
make-up!~
This individual in Orlando, was a walking time bomb
that sadly went off with devastating consequences on Saturday night/ Sunday
morning, 11th and 12th June 2016 in Orlando, Florida,
amongst youth who were enjoying themselves at a disco. As the place is open to
all, there were not just LGBT at the event, but straight people too.
HOW CAN YOU PREVENT SUCH EXPLOSIONS OF
FRUSTRATED MINDS IN THE FUTURE?
First Step, NO MATTER what the NRA says,
NO ONE IN THE USA should have access to assault weapons. In the wrong hands,
and there is NO way to prevent them getting into the wrong hands, they are
deadly. The assault weapon is what caused so much damage yesterday. This is a
no brainer, and if the USA has lawmakers who think otherwise, may GOD HELP THE
INNOCENT LAW ABIDING AMERICAN.
It is an attack on this innocent, that
these NRA influenced lawmakers are trying to protect the right to bear arms,
the second amendment to the US constitution. They all need their heads
examined, as you cannot enforce that in 2016, when you can have a nuclear
weapon in the form of an assault rifle! PERIOD.
Back yonder if the lawmakers knew what
we know today, namely the sophistication, and deadly nature of weapons they
would have peed in their pants rather than permit such legislation that has
killed over 500,000 Americans who could have been saved over the years if this
right was NOT enshrined in the Constitution.
IT IS TIME that for the sake of the
future of the USA in this era of NUTCASES in the name of RELIGION, we BAN all
weapons from personal possession, other than a permitted selection for hunting and
self defense and DO IT IMMEDIATELY, meaning today, before it becomes a divisive
election ISSUE.
