But when the different voices are calling for the deaths of those simply doing what they want we have a problem. And in all honesty, I will die for that right. It sounds symbolic or whatever, but it means that much to me that people are allowed to do what they want (without harming others) without fear of repercussions.
I'm not saying we go force it on people either. I obviously don't agree with the Iraq War. But when you have a society that is raising people that believe murdering people for speaking their mind, or for premarital sex or whatever, basically for being themselves--then they need to be shown that no, that is not the way we as modern humans act. In a free world, which, give or take we have in the western world we're allowed freedom: we can observe religion if we choose, we can choose to not have pre-marital sex or drink or we can choose to do so as well. That's how it needs to be. That's respect for humanity in a nutshell.
You are talking about the Modernization theory, and i support that %100.
But if you think its Muslims that keeps spreading violence you are wrong.
Lets take suicide bombers for example. Its totally pointless to end your life that way, however these people do it, why?
Because of desperation my friend. If they had your guns and your weapons, they wouldnt need to explode their body, and maybe then it wouldnt look as much "barbaric"
The violence thats been imposed by United States is exactly the same.
Look at all those people you call enemy.
Middle-East. What does it have? Oil.
Venezuela. What does it have? Oil.
Coincidence? For an American capitalist might be, but for a humanist liberal such as myself, i hardly think it was a coincidence..
So, its not really about spreading democracy and respecting women rights my friend. Its about what i said in my first msg.
Its the giant cooperations that does the real harm, its them that lights the first fire without anyone of us ever suspecting.
But you wouldnt know..
How would you?
The TV networks are also part of the "strategy".
They tell you what the chairman of X coorperation wants you to here it.
"They" make you believe like you are facing a real threat.
But its all illusion. Everything that has happened to United States was sponsored by United States. Good or Bad.
For example, where do you think Taliban in Afganistan got all their weapons and technology?
They got it from CIA during their war of independence against U.S.S.R
Do you still remember what i have said 2 lines above
