The Twisted Logic of Faith's Passion

Eiffel Tower Glows in French Colors to Honor Victims

The provocations and persecutions

must stop for they are incitements to 

reaction, impressing on the devout their

obligation to their faith girding themselves

in time-honoured hadith instructions to

avenge the sacred memory of one who

brought salvation to desert nomads, by

example teaching them the efficacy of a

bloodied sword in convincing stubborn

resistance that surrender is preferable to

the ignominy of death by beheading since

separating the seat of the soul from its

earthly carapace stamps the sinner unfit

for resurrection. The West's values clearly

befit those conquered by fear of death who

cling to the impression of freedom to resist

the call of the Almighty to abandon self to

the spirit's agency. Bringing upon their heads

the terrible wrath of a deity who brooks no

dissent from the feckless mockery of the

divine, harbingers of their own doom.
