Civilisation That Isn’t

talking about civilization -- the mutilations of dead in Somalia and in Falluja tell us that we are indeed Barbarians -- that Religion, Culture are supposed to civilize us -- it looks like the Religion and Culture have made us only a little more innovative Barbarians -- comapred to -- our cave dwelling -- utilitarian -- cannibal ancestors......

Well written article. I`ve been thinking about the same issue of late, especially after seeing the horrific picture of the mutilated Americans on the front page of The Globe and The Mail. The picture has been removed from the online edition. I am not sure as to what the reason for removal was, but am presuming is due to its horrific nature. I also came across another article which I thought I`d share. Present at the warblog.

Beena:

you are on a roll!...

the one common factor is absence of law...law and order that is almost defunct...or heavy handed...

neither in the guise of peace, nor honour, religion nor culture should such travesty be tolerated...

...for this to happen again and again means the animal is us is dormant no more...we do belong in cages...not outside...

I don`t approve of Sheikh Yassin`s killing.

But if the Israeli government had instead incited a Jewish suicide bomber to kill him, would public reaction have been different?
