Recently, our Online Think Tank was criticized in a major publication for a philosophy research paper that was on the website. The philosophy paper was about the problems of Eastern and Western Religions and their influences on thinking in human civilizations and societies. It appears someone took it upon themselves to write an op-ed about how Middle Eastern Culture was not the answer.
Amazingly enough, Middle Eastern Culture or the World of Islam, was not even discussed at all. Indeed, the short paper on Philosophy is to get people to think beyond the confines of Religion and get the human species to think towards the forward progression rather then wallowing in the names of academia's favorite philosophy idols of past periods.
The Muslim religion and really more specifically the International Terrorists using the shield of the Muslim Religion to justify its crimes against humanity and its radical influences is simply not viable in the present period and the world needs to grow up. Yet, in saying this, apparently the attacker of the opinion article did not bother to think through his accusations before writing them, as we actually agreed with what he was saying.
You see, International Terrorism in the name of religion, well, it is slowing down the forward progression of the human race, personally I am not here to be embarrassed nor do I wish to call that group the same species. Due to the inherent primate politics of mankind, all men; these Muslim radical leaders who incite terrorists, along with those who actually are terrorists use this line to unite their flocks in a common cause to serve their will, to build their team they pick an enemy.
This technique is well-known in every culture and used to unite religions, sports teams and even create a specific direction by building nationalism. We see this with HS Football Coaches and cross-town rivals. Pick an enemy to build a team; it is the Motley Fools; Rule Maker - Rule Breaker scenario or what Colonel Boyd discussed, as the guerilla fighters claim that the leadership is unfit to lead. Indeed, so they can take over and become the new Machiavellian Prince who is loved and respected for a short time until he needs to lay down the letter of the Law and pick examples to show strength, thus eventually becomes Feared and Respected, the next logical progressionary step.
If you read Henry Kissinger's essays of the 1960's we see that the Middle Eastern leaders (men of the cloth?) use the Western World as "Evil" to unite their base, similar to politics in this country; Liberals VS. Conservatism. Of course, Al Jazeera broadcasts this throughout the region and further poisons the masses and infiltrates the thinking of other nations, UN leadership along with the geo-political ladder climbers and their handlers.
Perhaps it is time to get rid of Voodoo Witch Doctors in Haiti, International Terrorists Radical Muslims Fighters and enlighten their masses or eliminate the threat, Carl von Clauswitz is right you know. Now a more conservative think tank might have stated that if the US is afraid of what the World might think of exploits to protect our people or our economic interests, then go for broke, as many in the world hate us anyway. Such a think tank might say that if some protestors have 100,000 people burning the American Flag and chanting "Death to America" send in a Tomahawk and eliminate those future terrorists and knock out the Al Jazeera's TV coverage. There you just removed 100K future International Terrorists that are now incited to kill us. Our Think Tank has a different approach to the problem and yet we agree that; The Clash of World Religions and is Forcing of Human Civilizations to Grow Up and growing up is in everyone's best interest.
The biggest issue I see is the lack of literacy in many parts of the Middle East. For instance, with the huge %'s of 18-25 year old males is a real problem (we almost cannot build enough indoor or outdoor soccer fields for them, to give them something to do) and the huge percentages of illiteracy, it is easy to see that they might fall prey to cult like radical indoctrination. With lack of information the mindless masses will follow such things. They need more meat and protein in their diets, and their education raised, but that has to be the next generation.
I do not see the Radical Muslim Religion as some big issue of our time as the critic stated, in fact other think tanks, not ours sees all this as opportunity to strike Iran with 23,000 sorties in 72 hours to insure that radical international Muslim terrorists do not get a hold of nuclear weapons. What is totally amazing in all this is how something so simple can be so twisted out of proportion in the media, especially from a very basic research piece on Philosophy in the 21st Century. It should be obvious that the PC crowd is out in full-force to slam common sense where ever it maybe written or discussed.
