The world is coming gradually to a turning point where the laws have to be re-written, protocols may need to be broken and the interest of the
general public considered more important than the so-called ‘rights’ of criminals.
Within the last few months, we have witnessed atrocities in Ukraine, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Northern Africa, Eastern Africa, in the North of
Nigeria with the Boko Haram, in Chad, etc. We have witnessed the Beirut atrocities, the Syrian menace,
the Iraqi siege by the ISIS, Boko Haram decapitation in Nigeria, the list goes on and on.
I wish this day never came but it is here when I have to say these. The world is at a point where I feel the responsibility for the safety and security of the lives of the common man on the streets needs to be delegated to the International Muslim community. It is not possible that they are not aware of the perpetrators of these heinous crimes across the world. Start the count! Anywhere there is trouble today, the Moslem faith is involved. Be it riotous killings, insurgencies, bloody agitations, wicked and senseless imprisonment of press men and women, bombing of innocent civilians, maiming of defenseless children, women and the vulnerable prisoners of war, etc. You can safely associate any
dastardly acts easily associated with a mean nature to perpetrators who are Muslims. And so far, the
Muslim community hasn’t seriously condemned those acts of violence.
Clearly, the world is facing a wakeup call. From 9/11 to London Bombing to Syria to Libya to Egypt, to
Russian airliner downing to Malaysia airliner downing, and down to foiled attempts of people bent on causing mayhem; from the dark nights of threats and counter threats to the hazy periods of fears
over seized bus-loads of terror-looking individuals, all of the Muslim contraption…too little is left to be desired.
President Barrack Obama has addressed the Press on the Paris bombing, voicing support for the good people of France. That is not enough. We have come to a point where we must call a spade a spade. No single blood of an American citizen or that of any other country must drop again before the
world takes a hard stance against extremist believers of any religion we have. Whoever does not want to peacefully practice their religions, living within other law-abiding citizens of countries can leave to the mountains and live there if they want. Nobody forces such individuals to come live with
the rest of the citizens.
1. The entire Muslim community around the world must stand up to condemn and work towards
stopping these atrocities or Islamic religion may have to be banned across the world. There are
several other religions that the Muslim faithful can pick and choose from.
2. Muslim leaders know their followers. They know the extremists and they know the intricate
implications of their teachings. They either have to start fishing out followers traveling around the
world to cause destruction or they should start being held accountable
3. The fiery teachings of some of these Muslim clerics is what is inspiring these innocent followers
into these extremist exhibitions of terror. I am no longer interested in hearing about how Islam is a
religion of peace and love because I am hardly seeing that peace and love in manners that I am familiar with. Do you call killing by shooting
sporadically around a packed-up auditorium love and peace? Enough is Enough! Instigating preachers
should be prosecuted and jailed or sentenced to death because they are the ones producing these extremist killers.
4. Any criminal caught should be treated as such whether they be Christians or Muslims or Atheists.
They should be used to fish out the rest hiding. They should be tortured until they provide information on who is involved with them. If they
are found guilty by the courts, they should be killed gradually. Beginning from the toe, every single joint should be dismembered one after the other until they are able to say who is working with them to
commit those crimes against humanity, causing unrest behind them. The law must change! As it is
today, the law protects the criminal more than it protects the citizens. If anybody can take a life, let him pay with his own life. Let him die a gradual death in the hands of the law and let the rest of the world watch him die gradually so that other criminals or those thinking to join them would think twice before taking on the hobby.
I watched the second twin tower go up in flames on the Cable news as they were reporting the plane that ran into the first. I watched the London bombing, the Palestinian atrocities, today, the Paris bombing, the inhuman activities going on in Syria. When will these evils stop?
The world leaders need to come together on this. Angola is banning Islam in the country. That is not
the way to go at this point. Appropriate measures have not yet been put in place to check those
channels that recruit the extremists, train them, fund them, etc. Civil rights are for the civil society.
Any person who has gone past civility doesn’t deserve to be treated civilly. They can either leave
everybody else alone or they are free to make a country for themselves up in the mountains. If anybody doesn’t want western education, let them
leave those who want it alone to do what they chose to do. Anybody who decides to attack those who vary in religious beliefs from them should be seen as attacking the very fabric with which the society is built. Whoever does not want freedom for the rest doesn’t deserve to be among the freed. We cannot even decide to host them in Jail because they don’t want to live. They should be sent to their death gradually and buried like dogs.
And to all my Muslim friends, if you cannot protect me against extremists in your religion, I will soon start doubting your professed love for me. You know I will protect you with my last blood against any Christian terrorist. If your hands are clean, then, protect me and the rest of those folks out there who are lovers of peace and freedom for
everybody. If you fail to, then, I’ll suspect your hands are not clean. You know that if every other religion
picks up arms like these your extremists brothers do, this world will not be enough for all of us. The
battle line has been drawn. The die is cast. A stitch in time saves Nine.
