Faith is belief without evidence and a
particular consequence of this is ‘anything can be justified’, since ‘faith’
cannot be discussed or challenged in a logical way. Faith easily leads to
justifying evil acts. The jihadists that commit terrorist atrocities, killing
and maiming indiscriminately, do it because they believe through their faith
that they are right.
The reaction to the Charlie Hebdo massacre by the
liberal religious apologists is to misrepresent what happened by describing it
as nothing to do with Islam or heartfelt religious conviction. They insist it
is caused by nationalism, capitalism, the oppression of minorities or the
racism of ‘white people’. There is absolutely no doubt that any one of these is
a contributing factor, but the overriding reason is their faith and its shaky
precepts. The gunmen confirmed this with their shouts of ‘Allahu akbar’ (God is
great) as they ran from the scene.
It is only the truly demented that celebrate
the association between acts of barbarity and the greatness of their imaginary
God.
Through misunderstanding the terrorist's motives, the
liberal religious apologists are playing to the hand of the Islamic terrorists.
They are indeed fodder for the savage’s feast.
