Hello
Today isn't going to be a cheery post about something random
in my head, its going to be a more serious one and if you don't want to here
what I have to say then please feel free to click of my blog. I want to talk
about the situation in Paris. I said a while ago that I respect all religions
and organisations and today I amend that statement. I respect all religions and
organisations that just keep to themselves, who want to preach and spread love and peace. No matter what religion you are I know that the basic principles come into
play, and it certainly does not justify murder. I have no respect for
murderers, there is no need to take innocent lives or any lives for that
matter.
As I hope most of you know, this week saw terrible crimes
committed in Paris and I didn't want to not write about it, its something that to
be honest affects everyone in this world. Innocent people lost their lives this
week to terrorism, because they didn't like what Charlie Hebdo published. I
understand that it must sometimes be upsetting to see your religion being
mocked, I get it. Every single religion on this planet have been mocked, that's
life and to be honest people know its a joke.
I find it sickening that because these terrorists took offence they went
into the Charlie Hebdo offices and killed people.We all come across things and
situations that we don't agree with in life but I know for a fact that no
sane individual sees murder as a fitting punishment. Every generation has seen
evil. I was born into a world that had its problems, had its evil, but since
1997 to me it seems like terrorism has taken over. When I was 4 the twin
towers were part of a terrorist plot and came tumbling to the ground leaving
devastation to thousand's of people, the world seemed to come to a stop.
This
year alone our TV screens have been filled with news that innocent people have
been beheaded, it devastates me that this happened and I can even begin to
imagine what the poor family's went and are still going through. I read RussellBrands blog post about the Paris situation and it spoke volumes. He said this "we each have the power to
create heaven or hell here on Earth, extremists on all sides are clear in their
intentions and actions, we, the vast, powerful majority, Christians, Muslims,
atheists and undecideds have to be more committed and more determined. We must
love life more than they love death. We must love each other more than they
hate, in God’s name, in Allah’s name in Charlie’s name, in all our
names.". I think this sums up perfectly what I'm trying to say, I just cant
put my feelings into words.
There is terror all around us, recently it came out the British
government had put a stop to three planned attacks on the UK. We don't get told what's going on until its either been stopped or is happening, but we have to
keep going. As hard as it is we cant live in fear or terrorists, its like
letting them win. My only hope is that this one day comes to a stop, everyone
has different beliefs but most of us share the same morals, all religions that I
know of don't condone violence/ murder. If these people are killing in the name
of their god or idol then they are putting it to shame, these people clearly
don't practise Islam which people are getting a false view of. Islam is a
religion of peace and love and that's what we need to remember, its a small
amount of people in the terrorist group compared to the rest of the world. Every
religion needs to come together, support each other because we like Russell
brand said "We have the power to create heaven or hell here on
earth", we are fighting a never ending war with evil but we cant let it
win. We all live on the same planet and while we're on it we need to live
peacefully together.
I found research for this post and I am sorry if any of it is wrong, I tried my best to look into the different points I made. I'm not trying to cause offence to anyone reading this, as I said I respect all religions and organisations that follow the basic laws, I just have no respect for the terrorist group like everyone else. Nothing justifies what they are continuing to do. I would like to get your opinions on the matter, does it scare you that this is now the world we live in?
Bye for now xxx
