For sake of humanity

-

The recent letter by Aashna Farishta and Sydney Gastman reveals their concern and dismay over the antics of the circus director taking up residence in the White House. Imagine that. They mention the Holocaust and the destructio­n of the mosque in Victoria, Texas, and admit to being fearful. And I believe rightly so, as both were religiousl­y motivated.

The world is aflame with a thousand damnable religious doctrines that inspire and justify the worst in human atrocities. Christiani­ty, Judaism, and Islam are all guilty of suspending reason in favor of their religious beliefs. They embrace ancient books filled with nonsense and life-destroying gibberish. It seems Christiani­ty, for the most part, has lost its tolerance for the murder of innocents, but for many centuries led the parade. It would seem most Muslims are predispose­d to having their dignity offended. But I think they would do well to recognize their religion is fast becoming a cult of death because of specific doctrines that encourage martyrdom and jihad, inspiring terrorism. In all honesty, I cannot think of a greater offender of Muslim dignity than Islamic law itself. Being in denial only magnifies the problem.

Recently, a mosque in Egypt was destroyed and 305 faithful Muslims died a horrific death. A month earlier, over 500 more suffered the same fate in Somalia. Islamic terrorists took credit for these, and this universal carnage continues daily. For the sake of humanity, is it not time to stop making excuses for this sociopathi­c behavior? Semper fi.
