"Militants claim Afghan attack is revenge" published in the Daily Herald on September 19, 2012. A suicide bomber killed 12 people in Afghanistan and Islamic militants are claiming that this was revenge for the film that has been circulated through the world in which the Prophet Mohammad was mocked. They are also calling for attacks on additional U.S. diplomats. It would seem that murder is the least of the sins when it comes to the subject of this film. How is it that mocking someone is a far greater sin than murdering innocent people? Is this really about the movie or just about taking advantage of a situation so they can do what they have always wanted to do? It makes no sense to me!

I have wondered that exact thing - mocking is definitely not as bad as murder!! However, it's difficult to put myself in their shoes when that's the way they've been raised and protecting their religion/god is the most important thing to them (even if it means killing). However, I do also wonder if the video was just an excuse to attack.
ReplyDeleteI agree I feel like they are taking advantage of the situation but it is hard to judge when they are born and raised in a way that we dont understand.
