I’m so tired of this ‘Religion of Peace’ nonsense…

Let's see. Islam is supposed to be a religion of peace, or so it's supporters say, right?

Given the events of the past few days, I think that we can completely refute this claim. There are violent mobs burning embassies in the middle east, crowds yelling Death to France and Death to Denmark, and the intentional murders of people seem to have only just begun.

So what's up with this?

It's one thing to claim to be peaceful. It's another thing to acknowledge your inner violence, and to use it or to fight against it. But, as I've mentioned before, this is all about control. Or loss of it: one way or the other.

It would be ideal to let the events speak for themselves. There's little need to say that lots of people in western nations now think that every muslim is a violent psychopath obsessed with killing every non-muslim in the land.

Brilliant, guys. Just brilliant.

But, scary as this is, I've always held little fear of death, knowing full well that there are things far worse than that. What scares me more is that the peaceful protestors here in Canada are actually in favour of censoring people and prohibiting them from speaking their minds. That is why I feel so strongly for this issue.

I can tell you this: what will eventually happen is that every time someone criticises Islam, hoardes of islamic protestors will storm the streets demanding that anyone doing the criticism be censored, or worse.

The irony is, of course, that the peaceful protesters go here unmolested, whereas if society were interested in censoring them they would not get a third word out. The best solution to this mess is probably to let them yell until they give up, for all the good it will do.
