Exremism within a box of Justification.
Hello everyone,,
While writing my last post on ''Extremism'' I was trying to understand the Justification of these extremists within the basics of my reality. I think I found it out through a little study.
"proponents of Muslim piety also hold American "corrupting influences'' responsible for the erosion of the assumed authentic mores of Islamic austerity and devotion'' They believe that these influences are associated with the West. They also abhor American popular culture and Life style. I want to ask a simple question ''How does this affect their religious beliefs" Everyone should take to what they believe is truth. What about them facing what they belief is truth and live the rest of the world on their journey to truth.
All these has resulted to the U.S and its western allies to convince the world and especially the Muslim world, that the campaign taken against Bin Laden and all AL Qaeda is not a religious war between Islam and the West but against the ''radical extremists''. Bin laden succeeded in presenting himself to much of his audience and anyone who cared to know as the perfect image of a Messianic prophet. So, people believed because he kept himself in a position that he was fighting a just cause.....Even If he is killed for his cause, he will in their eyes have died a Martyr death.
Looking at it from the perspective that the Religion discriminates against promiscuity, Ostentatious wealth, drug use and the ''so called'' corrupting Influence of the West.... what difference does this have with random violence, Death, and Violence on women and children. If the agenda of this ''radical extremists'' was just.... What then is the moral level of these radical extremists. If morality is relative based on cultural background. Are there then Justified?
