Man's inhumanity to man - well maybe those that kill innocents for a delusional belief should not be regarded as members of humankind and as you do with any rabid dog - quietly put them to sleep.

My deepest sympathies to all.

But they are humans ,and that would be murder also as is the death penalty.
Aren't there any alternatives that would serve better the humaine goals of society ?

Here in the UK a week has passed,and the muslim population are making everyone aware that the people who done what they did last thursday,did not do it in the name of the muslim faith.

A lot of them are also doing themselves no favours by going into the reasons why they did do it.

Having seen pictures of the three bombers they have so far identified, I think they look like innocent young people. The 18-year-old looks he could have just going to my school. None of them looked like they were capable of the hatred which caused them to commit the crimes.

Fundamentalism worries me.

Here in New Zealand we have a fundamentalist church called the Destiny Church which is operated like a commercial organization, and there are fundamentalists at the other end that say that homosexuality is more natural than hetereosxuality and religion kills the mind.

We have a fundamentalist, illegal, unofficial Maori government who intimidate businesses for taxes and issue their own driver licenses, and at the other end the right-wing the National Party which wants to scrap laws and policies which discriminate against non-Maori and an Act Party which is a highly-conservative libertarian party that will probably go beyond that.

Religion doesn't kill. Love doesn't kill. Difference doesn't kill. Fundamentalism kills.

If people took life a little lighter we might get further in life. As I write, Where Is the Love by the Black Eyed Peas is currently playing on the radio. Even though the BEP might not listen to their message and might have since contradicted it, perhaps the millions of people that made it number one in 2003 should listen to it once again.
