I have accused no slave of terrorism and after all that's the subject I referred to, not slavery. I said that John Brown was a terrorist. His acts testify to that fact.
If terrorism is ok in some instances for a "just cause", then the jihadists are ok. I can assure you that they believe with all their hearts that their cause is just and so are their tactics. They have an ok from their god and so John Brown thought also.
I don't believe for one minute that God told John Brown to murder and butcher adult males in the presence of their families but he certainly thought so.
Don't interpret my condemnation of terrorism as defence of slavery, it isn't.
Brown was fighting the slave states and an institution that this country was grossly hypocritical on and involved the lives of those unfortunate to be born of the wrong origin and pigment to be treated as their ‘master’ saw fit. I don’t see the comparisons and find it sickening that some don’t want to admit to the great shame that slavery was to this ‘free’ country. Like I say, easy for you to look at it as ho-hum, carry on and no bloodshed. It was a tremendous wrong that needed to be righted and it was already 83 yrs. and nothing being done about it.
Excellent logic, and point.
“If terrorism is ok in some instances for a “just cause”, then the jihadists are ok.”
Terrorism was used to establish the current nation of Israel.
