Dear Fearmongering Email Guy, Sending hateful, fear mongering packets of lies, both ignorant and intentional, serves nothing but to further the circle of hate. Please, do not forward me or anyone else this sort of nonsense ever again. Just as Americans (Muslims, Humanists, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Secular, et al) look to move past the actions and ideology of our ancestors, many people of the Middle East look to do the same. The Islamic People DID NOT bring war to America. Radical, hateful, terrorists did. The teachings of these radicals are no more similar to Islamic beliefs than the cults raping women and children in our backyard claiming to be Christian. Western imperialists did however spend centuries occupying, culling, raping, kidnapping and destabilizing regions around the world for God and profit. Mostly for profit. Much of the Middle East was occupied by Western powers until very recently. In some cases their sponsor states left amicably, in others they were cast out by rebellion, and in some they just pulled out over night. Before we go pointing fingers at the “history of the region,” let us take a look at our own dirty laundry: These were and are the acts of so-called “Christian” men. Would you now like to condemn Christendom? I don’t send this email in debate. These are facts, not opinions, all easily verifiable with minimal research. I challenge you to pledge: We better start figuring out how to do that. Posted in Social Commentary | No Comments »
