Muslim Outrage
All-too visible instances of Muslim outrage continue throughout the world. One might have thought the protests might have, by now, begun to fizzle out. After all, how much ferocious energy and obvious hate can be expended by the frenzy of believers of the true faith mobilized to illustrate to the West what a hornet's nest of vitriole and bile awaits each confrontation, before a kind of entropy sets in? But no, on it goes, and the waste of human life and property, along with the dwindling good will of the West in the aftermath of each of these instances of mass violence fomented strictly for political purposes continues to rise. Aptly illustrating the human capacity for baseness in the extreme.And all this energy erupting like disturbed neutrons for the sake of protesting the publication of a handful of truly innocuous cartoons. Are people stupidly malleable, inanely suggestible, combustibly irresponsible? Obviously, quite so.
Where is the protest at the loss of human life for the sake of such trifles? Is introspection, even a cursory attempt at engaging the brain to examine the whys and wherefores of this ludicrous situation so beyond the capacity of these devout religionists such an impossibility?
Reading of a young French Jew kidnapped, murdered and tortured by a crew of anti-Semitic Muslims ostensibly for the purpose of "getting back" at Jews in general for their purported plots at destabilizing Islam in the world is rather mind boggling in its insanity of apprehension, purpose and execution. Ilan Halimi, 23 years of age, became the deadly target of a group of Muslims who taunted his family first with ransom demands, then anti-Semitic jibes and Koranic extracts while they spent days torturing the young man before dumping him in a public place, in a condition beyond life. This group of Iraqi-insurgent-type copycats sought vengeance on their selected symbol, to avenge the excesses of Abu Ghraib prison. What a noble act, in honour of Allah. Why are Muslims not outraged on behalf of their revered Messenger of God?
One of the holiest symbols in the Shia Muslim pantheon of mosques has been bombed, its beautiful, ancient and unique architecture irremediably destroyed, a horrible affront to ardent believers, setting off a counterpart destruction by Shiite Muslims of Sunni mosques. Is there no end to this insanity? The Shiites distrust and detest the Sunni Muslims, and why is this, since both worship the same all-merciful god, the same sublime Prophet. This is the way they practise their faith which demands of them obeisance to Allah and kindness toward one another?
And they decry the West's lack of respect for Islam?
