He was also a pirate, a slave trader, a torturer, and an unspeakably cruel tyrant.
“He was also a pirate, a slave trader, a torturer, and an unspeakably cruel tyrant.”
Richard the Lion Hearted slaughtered 5000 Muslims when the tribute he demanded was late. It took three days of head chopping. Hitler, Stalin and Mao ordered millions of innocents executed. I’ll give you that Mohamed, Richard, Adolf, Joe and Mao were all unspeakably cruel. But in every case they were justified in their own minds. All of them believed they were creating a new, better world; as I’m sure this bomber believed also.
I have no doubt that many in the Obama administration, who openly admire Mao would like nothing better than to send conservatives off to camps. I attended my last ever party with the liberal set after Obama’s election. A gaggle of gay university professors were shrieking with laughter at the idea conservatives would soon be hauled off for reeducation. One of them said, “Hell, just kill ‘em all!” That’s when I left.
I’m saying that this kill-‘em-all attitude isn’t exclusively Muslim or exclusively distant in ancient times.
