If You Can't Beat'em, Hack'em

In a demonstration of just how morally and intellectually banckrupt they are...a group of Islamists who call themselves "The Islamic Warrior Crew" have hacked yet another website. This time it's personal...they hacked the Free Copts website!

You see, they had previously hacked into some sites which contained a religious forum where Islam was discussed as a religion and ideology. In fine Islamic fashion, they were outraged by the fact their religion is being discussed and debated...so they did the only thing they know how: shut them up!

Although the religious dialogue section of the Free Copts forum, and indeed the whole forum, was regulated by the admin group so that no insults to any faith, race or person were tolerated...it seems our juvenile group of warriors found something that lead to this dummy spit.

So after I got over the initial surprise, then the fits of laughter at the public tantrum, then finally the pitty for those who possess no means of dealing with different opinions except to try to eliminate them...

I got thinking....

I thought about how in this day and age, we advocate tolerance and co existence. We talk about living harmoniously together in this ever shrinking world of ours. We put checks and balances to guarantee the rights that we enjoy are protected. We teach our children to be accepting of others and not to generalise...never to generalise.

But I ask, and I especially ask those who say "The image of Islam on the world stage has been corrupted"....I ask you to take a moment to consider...

Who exactly do you believe is harming the image of Islam?

And how do you expect Islam to be accepted by the world, when Muslims do not accept the world....or I should say the do not accept anyone or anything that is different to them??

If you believe someone is misinformed, tell them! Try to explain to them that you think they're wrong and why.

If they listen...good

If they don't...what's the big deal??

Using your..."logic"...children who make mistakes on exams should be taken outside and shot?

I know there's no point me saying this to you...you probably won't even come back to read this...and if you do...you probably won't understand.

It saddens me that there are people who think like this.

It seems to me that if someone felt it was lies they would argue against it. If they felt it was true they would erase and attack it.

But the truth always has a way of coming back. It will not be silent. And neither will those who stand for the truth. Those who support the Copts and those who suffer are not faceless cyberspace pirates, they are people with faces and real stories. They stand up and point to the injustice and do what they can. Because that's what love and loving each other does.

Bent, Peter and all. A wonderful Christmas to you all. Wether the 25 or on January 7th. May He be in our lives and our hearts. That all may be one in love and in support of those who suffer. Work is busy at the end of the semester, but you'll see alot more of me in the new year.
