Muslims Need to Confront Muslim Evil
By Dennis Prager
With this weekend's massacre by Muslim terrorists at a mall in Nairobi, Kenya, and Muslim terrorists killing about 80 Christians at a Christian church in Pakistan, most people wonder what, if anything in addition to a continuing war on terror, can be done to minimize the scourge of Islamic terror.
The answer lies with Muslims themselves. Specifically, it means that Muslim religious leaders around the world must announce that any Muslim who deliberately targets non-combatants for death goes to hell.
I arrive at this answer based on something that I have long believed about Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust.
I readily acknowledge that the situations are not the same. The Jews of Europe were not annihilated by Catholics in the name of Catholicism; whereas the Christians, Muslims and Jews who are massacred by Islamic terrorists are murdered by Muslims in the name of Islam. Ref. Source 5
Templar, Radical Muslims, The Catholic and Protestant all have colourful histories but no less the Jews. Read the old Testament they slaughtered by the millions in the name of God. I do not think the core of the religions taught hatred or to kill at will so thus not the most violent.
Inca religions were more violent to me as they taught to kill for their own betterment.
But today I think groups like Antifa are more violent in their teaching then many though that set of values are set to battle greed and corporate greed.
Nazi in their ideals were far more violent then any other religion to me as they taught no life but their own were of any use let alone human.
Greed is the religion that most tend to follow and its what drives all the other front religions. Religions that want to impose their beliefs on you - that's greedy because they want your freedom. The ideology of today does not have a religious name but what they do is the same as old time violent religions.
You are spot on and the greed is a greed for power… the ultimate human goal. The wolves among us simply use religion as one route to amass that power. The wolf hounds, like myself, do everything in their power to protect the sheep. Islam is the current religion that is being usurped in the name of gaining power. But it has happened to many religions over our history. Edited: Abnninja on 8th Sep, 2017 - 4:23pm
There are no religions that are inherently violent. Only the people, who in the name of their religion practice or enforce violence.
Pure religion, cares for the sick, the poor, the marginalized, the orphan, the widow, in practical ways. Its about treating others as you would expect your self to be treated. Its about putting the needs of others first before your own.
If a religious leader, whether a Rabi, a Pastor, a Cleric, a Monk or whatever, promotes a religion that is contrary to what denotes pure religion.Then they are not worth following, but shunning.
Religions, can be created anywhere at any time. But not all are beneficial, and not all explicitly teach violence.
Yes, all major religions have been born out of a violent past.
But your forgetting about the individual here, not all who practice their religion, commit acts of violence.
Those that have preached violence, have reaped what they have sown also. Also I'm not merely referring to peace and love, as nebulous attributes that are hard to attain.
It is extremely easy, to blame a religion, or to blame God, for all the wars, acts of violence in earths history. When all one has to do is look, at their own motives, and selfish desires.
If people, were not so busy trying to find blame, or fault in others they would first look at themselves.
Instead, they should be asking how can I make the world a better place to live? No research is required, just common sense.
