Ten Year Old Mistakes

September 10, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Ten years ago, after the 9/11 attacks, many of the world leaders went out of their way to explain to their people that the actions did not reflect the religion of Islam and everything it stands for, like many obedient citizens around the world I too listened and nodded as they talked about “the religion of peace”, as if out of the three monotheistic religions Islam was the most peaceful one.

If it was not religion what was it? was it something personal all these hijackers had against the city of New York and Washington? of course not. Was it something racial? probably not, ah, there is it – it was a misunderstanding of the holy books of Islam, so not really the religion but the interpretation of it by some religious extremists. I bought it, seems to make sense.

But even with this misunderstanding there must have been something that moved these people into action, and it seemed that the only things that could really do that would be the treatment of Muslim countries by the West and, of course, Israel. The Israeli Arab war and the fact that Israel was so close to the west in its identity and philosophy added a lot of fuel to this fire, with the American weapons support it only made it worst.

So all the pieces fell in together, it all made sense, some radical Islamist had some twisted idea of Islam and decided to punish the US for its arrogant behavior towards the Arab world and Israel. And that worked for a while, but then we started getting the footage from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Gaza and Saudi Arabia, it looked like a lot of people were real happy with this, it looked like thousands actually celebrated 9/11.

So it was not just a few deranged crazy guys, it was much more, it was a culture of anti American sentiments and hatred of the U.S., and only a few years later I finally got a satisfying answer.

This was not a new fight, it was not a new battle and it was not a new sort of feeling that grow in the hearts and minds of many Muslims around the world, in fact it was very old, older then the American nation, much older then the idea of Zionism, it had nothing to do with the U.S. and nothing to do with Israel, September 11th 1683 Islam was stopped at the gates of Vienna and Europe was saved from the Ottoman empire.

The terrorists singnaled a very clear message to us in the west, the war for world domination is up once again, it was stopped for 318 years, and on Septmber 11th, 2001 they have resumed their fight for the world Islamic caliphate. This is a war which is hundreds of years old, it will not end if Israel falls, and it will not end if the U.S. will fall, it will end when the whole world falls and we all submit to Islam, giving away democracy, free speech and many other of the great things the western civilization accomplished.

Dalai Lama Asks Us Not to Hold Dogma Accountable

September 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Apparently there are many different meetings and conferences these days, just hours before the world remembers the September 11th, 2001 attack, that are trying to get as many different religious leaders in them to tell the world what is the hard learned lesson that we all learned on that terrible day – do not hold anyone accountable for what happened, it is not religion that did it, its just people.

OH REALLY? So, if it does say so, explicitly in the Koran that you should kill infidels and unbelievers, and if you are a person who truly (somehow) believes that god has written every word of that book (as read to his illiterate messenger in the desert) would you not think that god has clearly told you that killing infidels is exactly what he needs and wants?

Would you not say that the very spontaneous and joyous celebrations that spread out all around the Muslim world as word of the attacks reflect how clear this is to anyone believing Muslim?, and if it is so wrong, how can it be that since that dark day nearly 10 years ago so many similar attacks happened all over the world?

The Dalai Lama is in one of those things that are probably created by Muslims to try and stick as many other religions with them as they say it not religion. This one is in Canada, and the title of the news story I saw is that the Dalai Lama is asking for everyone to stop correlating religion with the crazy acts of individuals, well that could have been easier if the whole religion is based on turning everyone around you to a believer or a corps.

I say paint all religions, including the one of the Dalai Lama (who is a nice man and all, but still follows a dogma just like any other religion) in its true colors, from plain evil to mad, sadistic and arrogant, religions are exactly what their devote followers do and should be held accountable for each and every action, especially Islam which is trying to use everyone around to decrease its level of guiltiness in the slaughter of thousands of innocent people all around the world in these last 10 years.

It will not matter how many Buddhists, Jewish scholars and Christian pastors Muslim will gather up to say that all of them are not guilty, of course they are not guilty, Islam alone is guilty, and it cant help it – as far as they are concerned it is the express wish of god to have Muslims cut heads of infidels.

Dalai Lama - Buddhism did'nt do it, yeah we know that, Islam did.

Memories of September 11th

September 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment

10 Years ago our world was living in a state of relaxed war, most of us in the west did not realize it yet, but we soon discovered that there are a lot of people out there that really wanted the worst for us. The events of September 11th, 2001 changed our world and us forever, if you were aged 15-55 you lived through a significant moment in our modern history and probably the event that will shape our future.

To us atheists the terrible event is a glimpse into what religions do, an idea of how blind people turn when they are deep in religions that teach them that other people are do not deserve to be treated as people. It gives you an idea of how long religious wars can go on for (hint, ever since the Muslims took Jerusalem) and what will be our end if we do not break away from those hate filled books.

This week is going to be full of 9/11 stories, memories, photos and videos. Here are two that a very meaningful, one is of the building falling apart, just above a cross. The other is of Father Mychal Judge, the New York Fire Department’s chaplain body carried out of he rubble, a brave man who gave everything he had trying to comfort the people who were dieing inside the world trade center tower. Father Mychal Judge case is an example to how one religion is currently more concerned with compassion while another is obsessed with death and murder. With all the criticism that we have on Christianity father Mychal Judge is pure and true, a hero and one of the victims of this barbaric assault on the free world.

(More photos, some very difficult to watch, in here – there are credits for the photographers as well)
