It hurts to look at this picture, doesn’t it? Well, look and look hard. THIS is what will be in store for us if we allow radical Islam to spread unchecked in the west. This is the kind of random, hateful, pointless violence that we will see more of. And I say more of because it is already happening in the west. How many young girls are scarred and killed by Muslims with the so-called honor killings each day now? How many more will occur if we turn our gaze away from this sort of Islam and imagine tit to be “just another religion” instead of realizing the evil that it truly is?
Do not be fooled into imagining that Islam is somehow harmless. Do not be fooled into thinking that our western tolerance for religious expression makes radical Islam untouchable. Tolerance for religious expression does NOT excuse this sort of evil in the least.
Don’t let these animals turn our own traditions into weapons used against us and used to cover their backwards, evil, uncivilized behavior.
Boy, 5, doused in gas, set on fire by masked men
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Five-year-old Youssif is scarred for life, his once beautiful smile turned into a grotesquely disfigured face — the face of a horrifying act by masked men. They grabbed him on a January day outside his central Baghdad home, doused him with gas and set him ablaze.
It’s an act incomprehensibly savage, even by Iraq’s standards today. No one has been arrested and the motive remains unknown.
In a war-ravaged city torn by sectarian violence and marked by acts of vengeance, this attack’s apparent randomness stands out as an example of what life has become in a place where brutality — even against young children — is a constant.
“They dumped gasoline, burned me, and ran,” Youssif told CNN, pointing down the street with his scarred hands where his attackers fled.
I repeat, do NOT give this sort of evil the cover of a legitimate tolerance for religious freedom.
Theirs is no religion. All it is, is an excuse for evil.
