Jihad and Holy War Essay by Henry Nicolle
Look
around you. How many of the men, women, children, cops, dogs and other
animated flesh are your mortal enemies? Think about that question for a
moment.
What does your mind throw up when the words “mortal” and
“enemy” impinge upon your consciousness? Nothing? You are not thinking.
You are not conditioned to think. You are not prepared to think. You
are not capable of rational thought.
Do I exaggerate? No. Your brain is functioning, your thoughts are churning, but are you THINKING? No.
If
you were thinking, you would hold the classic 1984 “Double-Think”, two
contradictory concepts each true in your own mind. That, my fellow
moron, is NOT thinking.
“Mortal enemy” means that you or your
adversary must contest continuance in this mortal world, that only one
may live, that one must die or perhaps both shall die. In a slightly
deeper sense, “mortal enemy” insists that one must die in order for the
other to live, because the truth of only one is permitted.
Perhaps
you will argue that you reject the concept because you have absolutely
NO desire or even ability to contest another’s presence in this world.
You are completely assured that there is certainly room for all of us
and for our beliefs and expressions in this “civilized” society. I can
listen to your inner harmony - “Nobody hates me. Everybody loves me. I
hate no one.” Well, to be honest, we can leave out the part that
“Everybody loves me.” That presumption only holds true for a few
deluded individuals.
You will probably not survive the first
moments of a Jihad or Holy War both of which loom quite near within our
periphery. I will explain in part, in preview, here. You will have to
begin learning how to actually think, if you are to actualize the
remaining view through this peering into snail-guts and drawing on
gassy augury. Put on your thinking cap and draw and tie the earflap
strings tightly around your chin. We are going where, in this last
moment, you fear to go. Yes, it will be scary.
Are you a
Christian? A Muslim? A “not invented here” spiritualist? Let us presume
for the purpose of this alarum, that you are simply a quiet and
considerate person, mostly non-flesh-eating and free of unnecessary
alimentary ingestions, but you can enjoy a small glass of wine with a
weekend pizza or a beer with your barbeque on an occasional
commemorative weekend.
Guess what. Somebody will want you dead.
Gone. Out of their world view. They will be adamant. No argument will
suffice or sway their deliberate and righteous indignation at your
existence. None except your ability to destroy them before you are
merely a digit in a number among the footnotes of new history.
Hmmm
. . . it seems there is a problem here. If someone’s belief requires
that you become “one of them” in fact as well as in appearance, or you
die or serve as a permanent servant until you die anyway, do you have
an “adversary” or a “mortal enemy”? That is not the problem though. The
problem is that if you are alive and do not submit to serve, or if you
serve with reluctant disposition, you will die immediately or when they
become tired of your demeanor.
So, the bottom line, is will you
defend your right to life, liberty and self-determination, or will you
demean your existence in submission and servitude, depending upon the
moment to moment mercy and equanimity of your masters for your life and
comfort?
O.K. I suppose you tire of theoretical games which can
never actually happen to you or any of us in America as we know it. If
I have just repeated your inner thoughts, then Hail and Farewell, you
are dead, your body still moves and twitches. Your future fades with
each moment, unless your side wins the battle of the killing fields. I
suppose if that is the outcome, you will be accurate in thinking that
you have no enemies and that you hate no one. We will all be bloody mud
between your toes and that will be the end, until the next time.
Tomorrow
will bring our test of hate and preparedness. We will repeat the hate
of Christians who can tolerate no heathen nor any Christian but of
their own sect and of only their own sect. We will suffer the test of
Muslim versus infidel and Muslim versus outcast and heretic. We have
begun already, with socialist communitarian versus Constitutionalist
and followers of our Declaration’s command that Government is created
to preserve individual rights, not to create a universal welfare state
under a violent mandate for individual submission and service to the
Government and Society..
Let the fun begin.
