The Fear in Their Eyes

Posted on 18/11/2011 by admin

I have just watched a short film about Islam rising. I have never been one to follow crowds and have little interest in scaremongering but the obvious conclusion one draws is that nothing has changed.

When Cicero was spouting off about the Carthaginian  and finished every speech no matter what it was, about finishing them off so Rome could feel safe right down to today with these people ranting against the ranters in Islam the appalling truth is that we are all human, but we kill each other because we think we are unequally human.

I do not for one moment suppose there are not Muslims who want the whole world to be Muslim, just as some Christians want it Christian and like many a political philosophy homogeneity has a certain numbing absoluteness about it that is almost appealing as well as appalling, and I agree that there is no need for every country to be capitalist, though they all seem to want to be, but this endless talk of losing what we are when what we are in an amalgam of thousands of more years than we have in history, and influences that stretch around the globe, and when you see Islamic countries have as great a tension inside them for change from their people who just want to be free, as any Europe have to offer, it saddens one to listen to this modern fascist ‘locking-of-horns’ between men and women who think only they have a right to live.
