Beyond the Normal

.
Our world is infatuated with everything which is more than normal. From the fictitious characters like Superman who can leap tall buildings in a single bound, and the Rifleman who could cock and fire his lever action carbine nearly as fast as a Gatling gun, to the real world people like Evil Knievel that could jump the Grand Canyon a rocket powered motorcycle, they all get our attention quick.

Being far beyond normal is to be extreme. Whether a swimmer that dives from a 300 foot cliff, the serial killer that avoids apprehension for years, the aggressive politician that will do anything to get elected, or the religious one that can never stop thumping, they are all extreme. And anyone who advocates, follows, supports, funds, encourages, or tolerates an extreme idea is an extremist himself.

Even though one who attends an extreme ski jumping competition most likely will never try it himself, he too is an extremist because he supports the sport by his mere interest. Or applauding an actor who removes his clothes in public is to support his conduct. And simply joining the Boy Scouts is to advocate their principals even though you might never earn a badge yourself.

And, just the same, to stand back and do nothing about which you dislike is equal to supporting it. Make sense? It doesn't involve me. It is not in my back yard. I'm not Jewish or Black. I don't live there. I don't care what's happening somewhere else. Those attitudes actually aid the goals and intentions of the offenders.

Few cared when the Nazis came for the Jews because they were not Jewish. But what happened when they came for the Poles? What are you going to do when they come to get you?

Now to the point. To be a part of, to me a member, to tolerate, to advocate, to accept anything which is extreme is to be an extremist yourself. Muslim extremists are in our spotlight today. But who is a Muslim extremist? Is it the guy that straps on the bomb to kill the innocent without discrimination during jihad in name of Allah? Or is it the follower who attends the mosque, bows to the Imam, chants for revenge and gives to support the doctrine that encourages the killing of all unbelievers? THEY ARE ONE IN THE SAME. Get it?

Islam. All of Islam. All Muslims. All mosques. They are all the same and are equally responsible for the carnage perpitrated by their doctrine. Whether they actually wear the bomb, or just chip in to buy it. All of Islam is extreme, by our definition, but not to theirs.

Regardless of the organization you attend, or the organization you fund, or the organization you applaud, your mere involvement is to support the ideology and doctrine of that oirganization. Whether you attend at a cathedral, a church, a synagogue, a mosque, a chapel, or a parrish; you support it's doctrine. Because if you didn't you wouldn't be there. And if the doctrine happens to be Islam, it is not extreme, but evil.

So, just like most of us will state there are no good Nazis, if you believe there are good Muslims because they are not all extreme, you are smoking your socks. They are ALL extremely evil by their very ideology and doctrine. Someone once said, "Everything I needed to know about Islam, I learned on 9/11."
