Isis inspired violence brings death to the innocent.
by thewanderingjew (see profile) 03/14/20
The 21, A Journey Into the Land of Coptic Martyrs, Martin Mosebach, author In Libya, 21 young men were beheaded, and the violent, terrorist event was put on a video for all the world to see. Twenty of these young men were Egyptian Copts; one was a young man from Ghana who has since been embraced by the Copts. All were innocent, possibly illiterate, but highly religious young men who uttered prayers, even as they were brutally murdered. This book breathes life back into these unknown, simple men, brings them back to life and gives them a past and a future. It memorializes their tragic end, as well, and it humanizes them and dehumanizes the vicious, radical terrorists, the radical Muslims, who murdered them for the sake of the publicity of this awful, horrific event. Instead of giving these monsters the fame and honor they craved for their shameful acts, it shamed them and gave them notoriety in the eyes of the sane world. It was sometimes difficult to decide whether the book had a religious message, a political message or a compassionate message. Although religion has been the cause of much violence in the world, and the Christians have been under attack, I prefer the compassionate message which made their deaths the criminal act of monsters who should be punished in this life and the next, to the message of religious superiority, which by definition, makes one religion more important than another. This can only cause further division and conflict.
