What crap. I would support a news media that tell it like it is, even if the answers make me uncomfortable. Instead, none wants to risk their ad dollars, so they push this pap which might as well be called "The Christians and Jews Are Just As Bad!"
That line about how we silly Westerners have so msunderstood martyrdom is laughable--martyrdom is about killing yourself for a reason, NOT about killing innocents for NO reason other than as a way to get to "Paradise". How is that self-sacrifice, Amanpour, you moron?
I couldn’t read the whole thing either. Why bother... once you know the premise it’s pointless.
I agree with your comments. What we ultimately have here is more evidence of the leftist’s ideology, that nobody is right and nobody is wrong. Everyone’s view should be recognized as valid by the global society.
Our kids are taught that there is no evil. It’s more important what you think of yourself than what society thinks of you. Limited to wholesome ideals, I would agree. But that isn’t what is implied here. As a child it’s not necessarily okay to lie, steal and cheat, but if you do it, don’t beat yourself up over it. Everything is relative.
Here Amanpour extends that to it’s absurd conclusion. We bring violence to the terrorist. How is that differenct than the terrorist bringing violence to us? And obviously, she doesn’t know. Richard Gere just after 09/11 asked us not to meet violence with violence. No, just lie down and die. If the other side won’t agree to live in peace, surrender.
The left is on a suicidal penchant again. Sadly the main practitioners are seldom the ones who die. In Russia, not even the party leadership escaped death. Generally it’s the rich, middle-class and poor who die. In China the
rich, middle-class and poor did. In Cuba the rich, middle-class and poor did. In Vietnam the middle-class and poor did. In the US, should it go Marxist, the well to do, the middle class and poor would.
The very elites that are pushing the Marxist movement would die. It would simply be another repeat of history and this time the only nation that could stop it in the past, wouldn’t be around to do it this time.
