Written By: Tony20fan4ever on 10/29/05 at 7:10 pm
Another stupid act of religious intolerance....http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20051029075409990001
WHY does this stuff have to happen? It's just downright horrible.

What can I say...three young women lose their lives, and for what? To bring about more violence, more death! What's in store now? A retributive massacre? A bombing?
The whole thing just makes me sick!

It seems we are marching backwards into the days of the inquisition and trial by torture. God, or Godess help us.

yeah, i read about this in the paper the other day, happened the same day as the bombings in india, i believe. unbelievably horrible, i can't imagine what such a thing is supposed to accomplish or how the people who did it can live with themselves.
apparently they were killed because they were christian? as an agnostic i'm regularly struck by the extremes of barbarity that religion leads people to.

Religious wars will NEVER go away...look at Israel vs. The Arabs...over THOUSANDS of years old and STILL going! And the war between the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland....that will probably never get resolved either..all because of STUBBORNNESS and INTOLERANCE!
Oh I forgot to mention the Crusades. Catholics trying to force their religion on Muslims!

I'll pass on the crusades, but the others all have to do with oppression. Irish Catholics have a right to be pi33ed at Protestants for the abuses they suffered going back to Cromwell (the "potato famine" was engineered by the way).
The Jews called Patistine "a land without a people", and have been doing to the Palistinians what the Gringos, French and Spanish did to the native Americans. What I'm saying is that the religious differnces are less important than the issues arising from the struggle for wealth and power.

so how exactly does that map onto the beheading of three girls who didn't have anything to do with any struggle for wealth or power?
i'm just sayin'... i think you need a very special sick fervor to do something like this, and that only comes from "religion," from thinking your victim doesn't have a soul.
