This morning, I read another of those columns in the Guardian that explains why Islamic terrorism around the world is actually the fault of the USA, Israel, the UK and other European countries that have interfered in the Islamic world. You know the column; the words and the authors change, but the analysis is always the same nonsense: it's our fault that we have been attacked. The author never considers the possibility that true evil actually exists, but it really does.
Evil in this case consists of the radical Islamic dogma which values death over life and destruction over construction. How many thousands, indeed tens or hundreds of thousands, have died in the fighting generated by the Islamists? What percentage of the targets in that fighting have been innocent civilians killed on purpose and not in some sort of collateral damage to military fighting? Look, for example, at Boko Haram in Nigeria. In the last two weeks, this group has murdered about 2500 people. There was no reason for the slaughter; the victims were not committing any crime or offense. They were just killed. Boko Haram also sent young girls into a crowded market with explosives strapped to them. The bombs were detonated remotely and the girls and many others were killed. None of these people had done anything wrong. And what of the shoppers in a Paris market who were killed last week? They had done nothing wrong; they were just buying food in a kosher market. What sort of rational belief system would conclude that killing French civilians in a Jewish market would have any positive impact on anything, anywhere? These people did nothing wrong, but they were targeted by evil.
The reality is that we are dealing with evil. Many of the so-called "experts" who spout the leftist view that the West is at fault for all this simply do not recognize reality. There is no one at fault for the Paris supermarket attack except the evil people who carried out the attack. There is no one at fault for the slaughter by Boko Haram in Nigeria except for the evil men who carried out the attack. In Syria and Iraq, there is no on responsible for the outrages perpetrated by ISIS except for the ISIS people themselves. Indeed, in Syria, we have evil in the form of ISIS fighting evil in the form of Assad's forces, but there is no fault elsewhere. There have been 250,000 people killed in Syria, but the fault lies with the killers; they are the evil ones.
It is time for the West to understand that there really are people and beliefs in this world that are truly evil. They are evil on an absolute scale; it is not a question of relativity. We need to awaken to the truth that evil exists and evil must be eradicated. Then we have to get that job done.
