Radical Islam And Other Insanities
Radical Islam is a term referring to the “state of mind” of Muslims who defend their religious beliefs using violence. The most prevalent form of violence that they use is acts of terror. Terrorism is the use of indiscriminate acts of violence against a foe, be they military or civilian.
Acts of terror are designed to break the spirit of an enemy as well as to create and maintain a long-term condition of fear within a population. While terrorism is now synonymous with radical Islam it has been used by all religions and cultures throughout history. Black people in America have traditionally recognized terrorism in the actions of the KKK and lesser-unjustified forms of Police brutality.
When politicians use the term Radical Islam to stigmatize a population they are doing it for two distinct reasons; 1) for political gain, and 2) for moral ideological superiority. What they don’t know is that all gods and the religions that support them are illusions of the human mind. Their first defense of their beliefs will be to say that “Liberty” is not an ideology but it is when it is indivisible under god. Again, using god as a crutch creates a state of mind where Liberty is subjective and not deserving of all within a multicultural society.
The human mind is a powerful thing. It facilitates states of being using interfaces. Religions are interfaces that in other words, are ways of living and determining purpose for ones life. Religions are great until they are used to destroy life such as in the cases of Race related killing and Radical Islam. Life is tolerant of human behavior but it is also self-correcting. When our illusions threaten to overwhelm Life our conscience steps in but when we become suicidal we can only look forward to a lot of death and destruction before sanity shows up again.
