Nomenclature of Divine Death Delivery

Anywhere on Western soil where acts of random terror 

are committed through the infiltration of state defence 

of people and values authorities name it for what it is: terrorism

death through the violence of theocratic conviction in a

cause viewed by the perpetrators as their sacred mission.

When their faith demands it they are absolved of murder 

for the method and the means are a consecration of 

their faith, making them no less terrorists in the view 

of the attacked. When the major obstacle to coerced 

conversion is the indifference of disinterest death is 

deemed deserved and the attackers boast of their love

of death, scorning the qualms of others that they may not 

live another day. In homage to the glory of theism death 

is but a minor surrender of self for a higher purpose 

 culminating in elevation to a higher plane of existence

forever glorified as a blessed martyr. The origins of that 

existential conflict is one between conflicting spiritual 

masters, praising and pleasing the sanctified, acts of  

human debasement of the life force of humanity in a 

quaint reversal of apprehensions, where terrorists

become 'activists', 'fighters' or 'militants' when they 

mount deadly assaults on a target the world at large 

has experienced exhaustive efforts to achieve in vain.
