I’m going to kill you infidel, and I’ll get instant paradise and 72 virgins. And so it goes with the hundreds of weekly Muslim “suicide bombers” around the world. Of all the silly nuttiness I have ever heard from any religion, that has to be the most extreme example. Take any other religion, and you’ll invariably find that hard work, belief, faith, service, charity, or a host of other nice things, will be regarded with eternal life in heaven, the happy hunting ground, or some such reward. It’s logical to have faith in a religion, savior, or god who rewards the dedicated for faith and good works. But to be rewarded for murder? I’m not an overly religious guy, and have great respect for Jews, Mormons, and all Christians for that matter, as well as other religions who like peace and tranquility. But the Muslims, which seem to occupy close to a third of earth’s population, to me, are a huge threat to the rest of us. Of course they’re outraged that the Christians have invaded their lands, and I can’t blame them. We’d be outraged if they did to us what we’re doing to them. This is not the point, or at least not the whole point.
Muslims, at one time, were a highly developed, civilized people, who invented, built, and lived extremely well. That was a long time ago, and maybe they’re angry that their once grand civilization has degraded into what it is now, which isn’t much. Is it because they have succumbed to dictatorships and tyrannical rule by various ayatollahs? I have no idea, but the suicide bombings are occurring around the world, and not just in Iraq and Afghanistan. I feel sorry for their ignorance. I pity their shallow belief, that murder gives rewards. Is it indeed a sin not to grow a beard? Is it a sin for a woman to show any part of her body in public? And on it goes, but I’ll tell you one thing: They’re not having any fun in life. I honestly believe that one has but one life, and that it should be enjoyed and be productive to the ultimate ability of the one who is living it. The Muslims don’t cut it…to me. Have a great weekend!
