The jihad against Israel and America and freedom as we know it comes from a place of giving up on humanity - Jews thousands of years ago had gone wicked and Christians had gone astray, and Islam came to take over. This agenda obscures the truth and beauty shining from other verses in the Quran, just as certain verses in the Torah might make the whole Torah look bad if one were to focus on them (however, I dont know of any Jews today interested in cutting off the hand of the woman who defends her husband by grabbing the other guys balls - whereas there are people I see every day who are interested in Sharia law taking over the world). The West, likewise, tends to give up on its own goodness. Birthrates are low in Europe. A culture of material gratification - putting the now before the big picture - leads to depression, obesity, etc in America. European countries sigh in resignation of the integrity of Israel by voting for the establishment of a Palestinian state run by the PA, whose goal is to destroy Israel. And America allows the jihadist agenda to undermine Americas credo of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to perpetuate itself in the educational system. So a charismatic religion comes along and says your hearts are dark, but we have the light. -But it doesnt spread light. It darkens the world with riots and murder. The jihad doctrine of Islam is an expression of the human tendency to give up on itself. And once humanity gives up on itself, it tends to try to destroy itself - because whats the point in existing if were bad. But look inside of yourself - yes, you (Im writing to myself and to you). Look at your creativity. Look at your own smile. In your mind, call up the people you love. Feel your warmth. Remember the harmony you see all around you, despite the headlines and the horrors and tragedy that have been taking place (if youre in Syria or Iraq, I imagine this exercise is more difficult - because of the opposite exercise, to destroy hope). Touch on pain youve experienced in your life and realize that youre still here with a beautiful world around you and endless opportunities. And know that those opportunities are yours to take up, or not. Know that you have the choice to act as you please, and that at least one of the choices is to do good, to love, to respect. Never give up on yourself. Never give up on humanity.
