Reply #2: Jihad and Martyrdom [View All]

[Westegg]

My comment is pretty simple, I guess: I'm so sick of Jihad and Martyrdom. Sick of them not as merely "Middle Eastern Islamic" concepts, mind you---for they exist in all lands, in one form or another, in every corner of this little orb we float around on, here in the vast cosmos. I'm so sick of hate and intolerance, ON ALL SIDES, EVERYWHERE ON EARTH. Will this madness never end? I mean, of course it will, someday. Someday the sun is going to expand, blow off its outer layers, and roast this solar system to a cinder. But until then...There must be a solution. We're all humans. We're supposed to be so damn smart. So let's find one.

As John Lydon once aptly sang, "Anger is an energy." Hate, however, is not an energy.
