In my last blog I’ve talked about perceotions of villainy and here it comes screaming into our lives with last weeks Charlie Hebdo killings of cartoonist and those that help make the magazine. The killers I imagine thought that they have done nothing wrong. To them they have committed righteous GOD anointed acts. Yelling ALLAHU AKBAR {Which means GOD is great.} while they killed. I would gather from that they believed GOD was smiling
down on them as they murdered their unsuspecting victims.
The ZEALOTS
Could these ZEALOTS have changed had they not been killed? Could they somehow have been brought to a place where they could have seen what they did in another light? Did the millions of people protesting their actions have any effect on them? Could they see that thier actions did nothing to silence but only elevated those they wanted to erase?
Somewhere and to other people these men are heroes and martyrs. This is where we stand for now vastly separated by our perceptions of villainy and righteousness. Wondering what can possibly be done.
