The Religion of Terrorism

The phenomenon of terrorism relies almost entirely upon the passions aroused by religion.

But that is not the source of terrorism, but it is the mechanism used by ‘merchants of chaos’ to create havoc.

Therefore, to fully understand terrorism, and see how best to tackle the problem, we need to see the true source of terrorism, how that source is exploited by the ‘merchants of chaos’, and where religion fits into the picture.

In the first place, we must bring ourselves to confront the fact that where there is gross injustice in the world, there will be unrest and potential turmoil.

Perhaps half the peoples of Earth are condemned to spend their lives in grinding poverty, and are never free of hunger. At the same time, on the same planet, far too many of us are satiated with wealth, beyond our means to enjoy it. None of us can afford to sit on our hands and imagine we are excused from helping to correct what is wrong.

We need to know, and understand, how and why poverty is allowed to exist. We need to make sure we really do know and understand, before we decide there is nothing we personally can do about it. Poverty is a man-made phenomenon and is not known in nature. The bushmen of Africa are not poor in their native state, which is true of all primitive people before they are sucked into our civilisation.

We create poverty, we need to know that and then enjoy correcting what is wrong. For that is where it is at - which gives us a really excellent challenge!

Next, we need to know and understand suppression. What motivates the ‘merchant of chaos’ to create havoc in the world? - It is fear. Hard to believe, but it is possible for a human being to be so scared of the harm he has done in the past, that he imagines every man is his enemy, and treats everyone as an enemy. The crimes he commits out of fear, are so evil that we cannot confront them, and blame God or the Devil - which brings in religion.

One of the main reasons we get so passionate about religion is our uncertainty about death. Is death the end of our existence, or the beginning of another existence? Do we go to Heaven or Hell, or do we come back and face the music? Or are we merely animals, and live once and that’s it?

Death, and the death of loved ones, bothers us a lot. A suicide bomber, (a person who knows that he lives again, either here or somewhere, and so do those whom he kills), has no compassion and has no difficulty in killing others. If he is persuaded that he is on his way to a heaven and is not coming back to face the music, he is the perfect tool of the merchant of chaos, especially when he is all hyped up with drugs and not himself at all.

Our world has been turned into a purely mechanistic and materialistic world by the alienist, who is himself a ‘merchant of chaos’, employed by other merchants of chaos, to persuade us we are only animals and only live once. Anything goes, and pleasure reigns supreme, to hell with happiness!

No need to go to Hell, we are there already! But it is a Hell we can change for the better.
