Globally there is an outrage at the actions of ISIS, and rightfully so. No One ever said that Jihad was going to be a pretty thing though did they. It is in fact a Holy War, Survival of the fittest, so to speak, and ISIS certainly is fit, they are run in a Military Fashion, right down to recruiting young men and women to do their bidding for them, Strategy is essential when wiping out your opponent, just ask any General.
History tells us that as much as we Love to Hate ISIS for their Crimes against Humanity they are not the first Religious Extremists to Kill for a Cause they believe in nor will they likely be the last, should humanity survive.
Everyone knows how the Jews were a persecuted people, starting off with the Egyptians using them as Slaves, and Moses leading them into Th.e Promised Land, which we now believe to be Israel, which is constantly being fought over. When the rumour of Jesus Christ’s Birth was Circulating, King Herod Ordered all Male Babies born to Be Murdered. Now if that isn’t hate, I don’t know what is. He was certainly trying to preserve his culture and lifestyle.
Jesus Christ was a Radical and a Free Thinker who believed differently than The Jewish Community, this Ultimately Led to His Demise. Let me be perfectly clear, I am in no way shape or form Anti-Semitic. I am merely pointing out how that through history Radicalism and Extremists have Killed in The Name of Religion. Christ was a Man Of Love and Hope, and Extremists took Him.
The Inquisitions were another example of Extremism in all of it’s Profane Glory. Pledge your Allegiance to The Mother Church, Denounce your Faith as a Jew, Or Die. In Most Instances be tortured first, then die. All in the name of God.
The Salem With Trials were another fine tribute of paranoia and Religious Zealots, if you did not behave the way they though you should behave you died a Witch’s Death. Their goal was to purge their community of evil.
Let us not forget Hitler, who believed he was killing Jews because they killed Christ. This was an Insane Evil Obsession that involved the world, much like ISIS and The so called Free World Thinking Western World.
As their is the dynamic of Good -VS- Evil in this World we will have Charismatic Beasts Roaming About Recruiting Others to Join Their Armies and Fight.
It Truly Is A Tale As Old As Time.
