IN JUDGING OTHERS, ARE THE WORLD’S JIHADISTS AND OTHER SELF-RIGHTEOUS RELIGIONISTS BLASPHEMING, PERHAPS?

As a result of the Jihadist death-wish and foolishness of that wealthy young Nigerian would-be suicide bomber, who flew from Lagos to Detroit last Christmas, Africans will now have to endure further indignities – in addition to the daily humiliations they suffer at the hands of the many racially-prejudiced non-African people they happen to come into contact with, daily. Alas, the rest of humankind wishing to travel to the United States of America, henceforth, will also have to suffer in similar fashion – and have to put up with the indignity of airport security officials worldwide checking them out: by peering at images of their naked bodies on the screens of “full-body” scanning machines. God help us all.


When will those fanatical cretins (who incredibly think that killing their fellow human beings will buy them passage to heaven!) get it into their pea-sized brains that contrary to what that liar, mass-murderer, and blasphemer, Osama bin Laden, and his abominable Al Qaeda terrorist-lieutenants tell them, Allah and the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) actually disapprove of the murder of innocents by suicide-bombers? In the early days, during the lifetime of the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), when Islam and Moslems were being persecuted by pagans in Arabia, perhaps Jihad could be justified – and the killing of ‘infidels’ was, in a very real sense, a necessary and last-resort-end, which ensured the survival of Islam. Now (more so than at any time, since the adoption by the UN on 10 December, 1948 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) that most of humankind has come round to the view that every human being on the surface of the planet Earth has an inalienable right to enjoy basic human rights, the killing of innocents in the name of religion cannot be justified under any circumstances.


In the supposedly civilized age of the internet, surely, one has to assume that every human being somehow has direct access to Allah/God? Is it not time for true-believers of all the major religions of the world, to stop arrogating the right to judge and punish their fellow human beings to themselves, in the name of religion – and leave such sinners and blasphemers to the wrath of the Almighty Allah/God himself? Surely, if it will bring about peace on earth, ought not the religious world’s many self-righteous Mullahs (and sundry nutcases like the Osama bin Ladens of this world!); ever-wise Eastern Gurus; and the leaders of the various Christian denominations, who seek to punish others for various “sins” committed on this earth, in the name of religion, to trust in Allah/God to deal with such “sinners” himself, and in his own time: either here or in the hereafter? Why, do they not believe in his mighty power, one bit, at all? Surely, no one should presume to speak on Allah/God’s behalf – since that actually is blasphemous? A word to the wise…
