"Twenty-one kidnapped Coptic Christians were martyred by beheading on the weekend, in Libya. Their blood was mixed in the Mediterranean, and the Jihadi executioners, including one with an American accent, vowed that Rome across the sea would next fall to slaughter, at the command of Allah."
"I believe these Copts, like many hundreds before them in the last few years mostly in Egypt itself, were genuine martyrs. They were slain in the knowledge that they could escape their fate by publicly converting to Islam. Of twenty-one captives, it appears twenty-one refused. It is the more remarkable that even little Christian boys captured by the Jihadis in Iraq refused to deny Christ, directly in sight of the butchery that awaited them. Take that in, O we of little faith, in our fey and emasculated culture. This is an aspect of the case that Western journalists overlook — often do not even bother to report — because they find anything but cowardice incomprehensible."
Follow the link above and read the whole article. How amazing it would be to see something so powerful printed in my local rag newspaper. It would never have the guts, as noted.
this probably won't win me any new friends and I am sure you can see the concern in my eyes but I don't know who is the bigger fanatic. Those who remain steadfast to their fantasy when faced with impending death or those crazy bastards who feel compelled to validate their ancient barbarian beliefs by making people agree with them under fear of death. They both are victims of ancient bronze age nonsense lacking enough education to realize they are killing people or dying over myths. Stupid myths.

ReplyDeleteEyes are being opened, and attitudes are changing. This process is very much like the awakening that occurred in the West when Nazism arose. Unfortunately then, the world had to burn that fever out. We will see if the same will have to happen this time, and whether the lesson will be learned for more than a generation.
