...what about Humanity?
...or, who gives a crap, only "God" exists. Whose God GR, your God? ...their God, is that the same God?
In any case (if you are a believer), God is Love. And in any case (if you are a believer or not), to be loving is to serve a greater Nature.
Easy for these selfish Individuals to make the claim that they represent a People, to wrap themselves into a mythic reality that they may find within themselves; is this Love?
@Tim, it is not Religion that is flawed, it is the Creed that every religion takes upon itself to proselytise as a 'one and only'. We see it here, (and if i may say so) careful with that baby in the bath water.
@Milti, good to see that you are in fine form, Happy New Year, by the way; save your energy, keep your powder dry, this is going to be a long fight, stay calm stay wise: it is not GR your enemy.
@GR, have you considered that the nihilist enterprise of these men can only provoke equal and opposite reactions toward them that have no positive outcomes, that this is their intention, to destroy themselves, but by destroying everything else, suicide by revolution?
Indeed, on the brink of perpetual warfare, i fear that the Occidental World has not learned the valuable lessons of the First World War (there are bigger enemies than each other), or from the errors that only multiplied after the Second World War (the military industrial complex). Indeed there is a sense of entitlement, from all this 'progress' which has left our planet plundered, and ourselves subject to the same plunder, to such a degree that the world's abundance is measured as a finite figure rather than a given, and that our Mental Health falls well below the confines of ending something as basic as Hunger. Indeed it becomes apparent more and more that there truly does exist a 'one percent', but such so called Islamists do not represent 'us' so to speak, they represent an opposition that seeks this power.
...i don't have any answers, but when it comes to dollars and sense, i ask myself, how much Guns, how much Butter, who gives who gets is another matter where waving fingers as you are doing is nothing as it is notions, your notions to be exact, an expression of Freedom, the same Freedom as these cartoonists; all of us must consider today accordingly, today the tears are of Joy there are so many on the street in Paris (and around the world), you may think about that too, because in this case you cannot separate yourself from 'us', and have it both ways as though "you" are not 'them'. My friend, (closer to home) at least i hope i can say that as Cypriots (and as such as Individuals, because sometimes i gotta wonder if you are "Greek" or Greek), cheers.
@ Lordo, what exactly are you trying to say (what is the root of the problem)?
