I do not travel outside of Canada because there are too many places that I would be murdered in. That it could be done by the governments of those places is of greater distress and insult of dignity to my person than just being at risk by virtue of being a “westerner” 1st world nation citizen traveling to other nations and being a target of opportunity – regular criminal risk.
The long term tragedy of the 2004 December 26 Earth Wobbler quake that wiped out 250,000 million lives – is that the first to rush in to help rebuild were Extremist Muslim Islam promoters and while they help to rebuild structures – they are NOT helping rebuild communities.
Tourist go to places to be decadent, rule break a little, have an adventure or a break from life. That means partial to full nudity, alcohol and dancing.
No one is going to go to the beach to be blown up or gunned down or stabbed because other people want to control them.
Seriously Christians in the west complain about gay being shoved down their throats.
it is religion that gives the person that permission to take up swords when words are not compelling.
A woman I worked with in 2001/03 went to Australia for her honeymoon – they went out to a nightclub, and had a great night and the next night, they went out to dinner instead of back to the club. That nightclub was bombed. 2 canadians were killed and at work, we waited rather anxiously for news – The Email came around – my direct co-worker and her hubby were fine, but another colleague wasn’t so lucky – her son was one of the 2 dead.
when people strap explosives to themselves, it is for religion.
we can’t refrain from saying it anymore.
the harm that religions does is to entitle the believer to an extraordinary level of control over other people.
that is not compatible with equality or free speech.
religion is not a get out of criticism card – in fact – extra ordinary claims require extra ordinary proof.
people who need to use violence to make their points or show their devotion are psychopathic or sociopathic. Religion is mental illness. It diminishes rational and logical capacity.
the social harm that religion does is to limit the participation of women in the public sphere.
