Salman Rushdie in two minds tonight. He wrote The Satanic Verses and he's not had a peaceful night's sleep
since. The survivors of the Nice promenade terror attack are sort of ok about it. Samuel Patti the french teacher who had his head removed is unable to hold an opinion on the ongoing war due to his head being removed. The victims of the two tower attacks and the planes themselves being now removed from being 60 feet under to only 6 are similarly limited in their considered response as to where this may all end up and at what cost. The beheaded priests are victims of the Bataclan, the Manchester areas bombing, the Tower Bridge terror attack, the 06 london bus bomb, and the other 23,000 (approx) Islamic terror attacks around the world that have left victims, are all asking themselves, hang on, who is directing all this??? The muslims say we're a religion of peace and if I quote a Hadith i've 'got it wrong'.
Fundamentally, I'm not anti religion but I am anti-elevating-religion above-modern-life, whatever the religon, it's wrong. Judaism, Islam, Chritianity. Muslims don't like dogs, so that's not great, and they have a general couldn't give a fukc about animal slaughter in middle east culture.
en fin bon .........
Ultimately people will turn to religion as they feel increasing despair at the way the secular world is driven - which may be part of the plan ... subconsciously (for all but the ones who dream up these wild schemes) a(nother) rise in religious 'relief' as an antidote to the craziness of the modern world.
Christians welcome. "Come to Church, it's great!"
