Doctrine Of Hate

I have to be honest, I had no idea what category to post this poem under, as it is not about religeon or politics or even culture, it's about a minority of people that are filled with hatred, and a desire to kill.




They are only people, just like us,
Except of course they’re not
They’ll kill us all without remorse,
And kill us all for what,

Because we don’t share their doctrines,
Their religion or their beliefs,
They think they have the right to murder
Anyone they please.

And I do not mean the Muslims,
Because Muslim is a word,
It’s the name of their religion,
And to blame them all’s absurd.

The majority of Muslims
Are no worse than you or I,
Hard working and kind hearted,
With a deep respect for life,

But the radicals amongst them
That preach Jihad and hate,
And use the holy book Koran
As a means to agitate,

Their young men into violence,
And evil acts of terror,
With promises of martyrdom
And fame that lasts forever.

Brainwashed into suicide,
By hatemongers lies and tricks,
Who pervert the word of Allah
With their evil rhetoric.

Why can’t these young men realize
That they have been mislead.
By ruthless men, whose soul intent
Is bringing down the west,

They fly planes into our buildings,
Blow up buses on our streets,
And now they slaughter innocent people
Sunbathing on the beach.

And all the while they’re killing,
They’re screaming God is great,
Whilst going against his very word,
With their doctrines or hate.

I think the point Regis is trying to make is that so few truly live by what they preach. The ones who make the loudest noise about what the good book says, do very little of it. Look at what happened in America. The group who fled to and stole this country quickly ran another group who didn't agree with them out of the state. That is why the Quackers ended up in Rhode Island. I don't know of any Natives telling the interlopers to 'take what you want and be sure to kill all off the buffalo; we don't care'.

People of evil intention are often those who are "different" and ostracized by society in some ways. When they reach the point of hopelessness, they find comfort in words of ritualistic practices that justify their behavior. The "cause" becomes greater than their fear and they surround themselves with it. I've noticed that most terrorists try to develop a manifesto justifying the killing of others. If they can't find scripture to support their beliefs they make up their own.

We've always have the deranged among us. What we all have to do is recognize the signs early and intervene with proper psychological treatment or whatever it takes to keep this small segment of society from ruining everything for the rest of us.

I agree with what you express, Steve. That is why I do not support any organized religion. The "Christian" religion has committed incredible acts of atrocity in the name of "God" during the course of history as you well know. Fundamentalist fanatics of any religion are all the same - basically insane; they just don't realize it. Thank you for sharing. Love and peace to you,

Regis

You need to take another look at the Koran and those who live by it.
