And I have yet to see certain folks I would consider rational, acknowledge the threat of those who perform said decapitations. Just alot of empty rhetoric apparently, with no real following at all. It would seem we need many more exaples of such to perhaps consider changing one's mind
What is it you think you are showing me Sirs? Something really emotionally disturbing that is a new and wildly radical threat to the world?
From 1998 to 2002 there was a civil war in the Congo. It was more complex, with more factions involved, and more nations than I really wish to get into here. By most accounts it was the bloodiest conflict on this Earth since World War II and that remains true to this very day. There was ethnic cleansing, looting, brutal rape, and much of the conflict depended on these different factions taking control of areas of the Congo that were lucrative in natural resources - especially diamonds.
Some of the factions entered the Ituri regions and charges of cannabalism were alleged, where it has been said that some of the armies
ate the Ituri pygmies living there, because they are considered less than human (dehumanized as it were). Labour camps were set up, slavery took place, including the children.
It is estimated that somewhere between
3.5 and 4.4 million people died. And you are telling me about the impending possibilities of a threat? You wonder why I'd like some actual evidence to back up your claims? I'd also appreciate you not fucking with my arguments, nowhere did I say that I need mroe examples of decapitations. What I said was that I need proof that more Muslims are following these radical lines, because
you made the allegation that it is a
growing threat, yet
you refuse to back that up with any real evidence.
Here's a newsflash, the
world did
not change on September 11, 2001. People were inhumane sons of bitches to one another long before then, the only thing that happened on that date is that the United States lost a lot of innocence, and gained a great deal of compassion from other nations.
Go to the Sudan, or Congo and ask them how much the
world changed that day. It is horrible to think that anyone would be taken captive by their fellow man and tortured or murdered. I have a great deal of compassion for those who fall victim to Militant Islamists.
Yet, where was the concern for victims before? Where were your cartoons from the Congolese Civil War? Where were your reports of the
millions who died?
Perspective is an interesting notion. So I don't know what you expect from these cartoons.
Here, want some photos:
Rape victims from the Congolese Civil War, with one innocent by-product.
He was hit by a stray bullet during the war, but survived.
A young soldier in the war.
Another maimed child.
This little girl watched her family being murdered, then joined a refugee group.
These are orphans of the war.
You know what Sirs, demonize me however you see fit. I mean, why change your MO? I'm sure you'll find many ways, just like the author of that terrible article to even make me into some kind of threat.
I don't really care. Just do me a favor and don't patronise me with these pathetic little cartoons.
