But, that's just my point, when the offenders who belong to Religion X are to be eradicated, sadly those who never held the same views as the offenders, die. When the Roman Catholics surrounded Béziers, Arnaud Amaury answer to the men who wanted to know how would they tell the difference between Catholics, and Cathars when proceeding to sack the town, was simple. But you know how he responded, and sadly the rest is recorded history, the evidence of how a solution can be final, is a stench in the nostrils of God. When United States cavalry officer was asked what he should do with the children they had captured during the brutal raid of a Lakota village, "you have to kill all the nits, in order to rid the head of lice."
Our problem is terrorists right? So therefore the terrorists need to be the one's brought to justice. Yet, we quote books, religious books, and instead of focusing on those who are taking a religion and doing bad things under the name of that religion, we seem not to be able to tell the difference between good practitioner and bad practitioner.
Therefore this ignorance breeds fear, and since no one likes to be afraid, they then seek a final solution.
That final solution in a time of war, usually leaves a scared children screaming as they hold onto the dead bodies of their parents.
We are Christians for crying out loud, and we aren't going to have a insane government be able to kiss our foreheads, and tuck us into bed at night. All the while telling us not to worry, but they're going to make all those who believe in Religion X to go away. But when Religion X is gone who will be next? Because after all, a precedent was sent. Because a religion frightened the people, and the people were scared, and the religion hurt people, and the people were angry, so they burned the books of the religion, and they bombed the meeting places of the religion, until those in the religion either perished or renounced their religion.
Sadly history tells us that even denouncing won't insure your safety, because during the Inquisition Jews and Muslims who converted to Catholicism weren't above suspicion. They along with those who were still currently in the old religions were tortured and burned at the stake.
Yes, yes, we like to say that we are better than those who came before us, but we aren't, we listen to those who whip us up into a frenzy, we claim our knowledge of Religion X is correct, and we scream for their deaths, and removal of the offensive religion from our shores.
