It's IST not ISM
It's the terrorists we are fighting not terrorism. We fight the terrorists because they fight us. We fight them because they want to kill us. They do not try to hide this fact. This is their obsession.
Apologists try to explain away acts by terrorists by stating that they are only reacting to American or Israeli or British aggression. They believe that the insurgents/terrorists in Iraq would stop being terrorists if only we would get our military out of Iraq. Horse hockey.
The apologists for terrorists do not understand them. And this is difficult for me to accept because the terrorists unequivocally state their desire and goal to eradicate all persons not Muslim. They do not even try to hide that fact yet we do not listen to them. Sympathizers try to explain terroristic behavior as normal and understandable. They believe that terrorism will die a natural death if America would only talk with them and let them express themselves freely. Their free expression kills people yet we should ignore that.
Any person who believes America is to blame for the 911 attacks is not thinking logically. By making America the bad guy and believing that we essentially asked for and were the cause of the terrorist attacks is not being true to the facts. It is like blaming a hotly-dressed woman for a rape because the man had no control over his actions; if she hadn't looked so sexy, I wouldn't have raped her. Ridiculous!
It is so stupid to place blame on an attackee for the crimes of an attacker that I can hardly believe anyone actually believes this way. However, I am realistic enough to know that many, many people feel exactly this way. Put the blame on someone else. If they had not acted in such a way, I would not have responded in such a way. You made me mad. Grow up!
We are each responsible for our own actions and decisions. No one else. A belief system does not cause anyone to act a certain way. You cause yourself to act a certain way. You are the creator of your universe. You control how you act and how you respond to every single stimuli you encounter. It's all you.
If a person commits a terroristic act, he is to blame. Not his religion. Not whatever wrong may have been done to him by another. Nothing and no one but himself. All of us. Take control of your life, your thoughts, your actions, your beliefs. Act as if you are in control and stop blaming someone or something else.
It's always the individual. Always. Never forget that the individual is the center of the universe.
My nickel.
