Have
these women not seen the images of people, people who have the same
religious beliefs as them, clinging to the side of boats with their
children in their arms in a desperate attempt to escape the very
people they are wanting to join? Have they not read about the
brutality of these people that they are so keen to help? Have they
not seen the random murders and beheading of innocent people that
these people carry out with an air of matter of fact? Do they really
want their young children to grow and pupate into homicidal
butterflies?
These
women, like lots of other disaffected youths, have no idea what they
are really about to join. They hold an ideology that is coloured by
puppet masters, they hate what has given them the freedom to hold
such juvenile beliefs. When they reach Syria and join up with Isis,
the fantasy will be squashed once and for all and they will be stuck
with people who are totally alien to them and their beliefs. They
have been brought up in Britain which has offered them a certain
freedom. They have been educated and have always had a social safety
net to fall back on. These are the very things that Their forbears
left their original countries for in the first place. I know this,
because I, too, am from a family of immigrants: we left our country to
to come here to Britain to gain a better life. These stupid women
have now taken their children, the very people they should be
striving to educate and keep safe and free from harm, to a place of
great danger. They will not receive an education or any freedom to
think and speak without dire consequences. They will encounter fear,
violence and hunger. What reason could a rational human being have to wish
these things upon their children?!
These
stupid women themselves are also in great danger. Some will be
married off to Isis murderers if they are lucky. Because lots of
these morons will see them as western women and no more than as they
say, 'whores', they will be more likely than not raped. This is
not me being a western bigoted Christian, I dislike all religions. I
view them all as a disease of the mind, that stops people from
thinking and behaving rationally. Religious people who hold moderate
views and take issue with my last sentence, tell me when was the last
time you prayed to an invisible being that has never given you reason
to believe it exists? I am saying all these things after reading
about the subject at some length and listening to reports not only
from the western press but also from local people who are stuck in
the conflict. In other words I have done what these stupid women
should have done before risking the lives of themselves, but more
importantly, their children. You only have to look at the actions of
Isis to know that you will not be living amongst rational people.
Also
this week another little homicidal butterfly has emerged and shot
nine people in America. This little caterpillar was a fed a diet of
hatred. This time it wasn't religious (but no doubt he will turn out
to be a right-wing Christian) but because he doesn't like the colour
of peoples skins! I find this quite difficult to believe in this day
and age that hatred can still stem from the colour of skin. I hate
Isis because of their political, social and intellectual ideologies,
not because they have a religion. I hate fascists for the same reason
( Isis, I suppose, are ultra-fascists) I cannot understand how you can
dislike a person because of the colour of their skin? I dislike lots
of black people and I dislike lots of white people but this has
nothing to do with the colour of their skin, it's about their ideology
and the way they treat others.
To kill
innocent people who have done nothing wrong, but held out their hands
in friendship to you, is as low as the human psyche can get. Surely
this young man who has committed the crime has deep seated mental
health issues, there can be no other reason for him to commit such a
barbaric act. My heart goes out to the family of the victims, but
don't forgive him, let him rot in gaol. If he thinks he's superior
because of the colour of his skin there is no place for him in
society.
Anger
and a lack of identity are all part and parcel of growing up, but
most of us wear clothes that our parents hate and go on marches and
demonstrations to vent our anger when we are young! We don't behead
people or shoot people. Most people strive to fit in (although I find
fitting in is quite overrated) but to force your children to face grave
danger because you wish for something is nothing more than criminal!
So the
next time you see a surly youth with a stud through their lip and
hair the colour of a rainbow, shouting that they hate the system,
take time to chat to them, Butterflies are a thing of beauty, a thing
to emerge and fly away and start a new episode in life, they
shouldn't be made to kill!
