Religious Hatred

After the brutal killing of Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in Woolwich by two misguided people, attacks have been made on mosques and muslims in the UK.

Why?

Why are people so focussed on Islam? 

Why are there so many Muslims so angry against everything?

I cannot see what difference there is between a Muslim extremist of today or an IRA activist from the 1970's.  Yet, when the IRA set off a bomb in Canary Wharf in 1996 killing two, and injuring 39 others, no-one went to Westminster Cathedral and smashed a window.  No one thumped an Irish person for being born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What is wrong with the world?

The Taliban and Al-Qaeda are responsible for the damage done to the reputation of the Islamic people.  They are the ones that have infiltrated the mosques to incite the hatred of some young people to such an incendiary level.  It's not a political thing.  It's not a religious thing.  It's something that has no explanation as it occurs only in the heads of people that are so unbalanced that they are looking at the world from some strange viewpoint that no sane person can understand.

I can't quote from the Q'uran, but I am sure that in that holy book, somewhere, it says that to take the life of another human being is wrong.

I can quote from the Old Testament and I know it says "You shall not kill!"

Just remember, do as you would be done by.  Love one another.  Give Peace a Chance!
