Question

What the h**l those guys(south korean) doing in that savage &muslim country in the first place?

Answer 1

They were missionary's who were providing humanitarian aid.

Answer 2

Well it seems they were providing "aid", and had previously been thrown out of the same region last year for "aiding" by distributing pamphlets with charitable things to say about Jesus.

It appears they may have been trying to convert Muslims to Christianity - or at least that's what the Taliban spokesmen claim, and based on their activities last year which means that the Taliban might actually be telling the truth, since that is expressly forbidden according to Sha'ria customs , the penalty for which, like pretty much everything

else under Sha'ria is death.

So what these folks thought they were trying to do, I'm not sure, but by going to a Sha'ria run province and preaching the risen Jesus they KNEW there would be problems.

To the Christian fundamentalists considering inciting Jihadi's, Do everyone a favor next time, either convert folks BEFORE the Taliban comes to town or wait until they've spent their anger, pissed off the locals etc and convert folks AFTER the Taliban leaves but not WHILE the Taliban are there.

I'm not usually a bigot on religious matters but generally while most faiths may condone violence in theory (Christianity, Islam and even some tennents of Judaism) consider some forms of violence acceptable, it's quite another thing when you actually take up the sword towards every little perceived infraction.

This is not how civilizations or religions progress it's how they self-destruct, and for my money is no better or worse than any other form of violent fundamentalism.

Of course since these guys are all too happy to force you to comply with their religious demands, or kill you in the process, the normal antidote for religious fundamentalism that doesn't enjoy a well stocked armory - namely the rational discourse route doesn't work too well when they're armed and you've only got a copy of Gideons on your side.

Unfortunately this leads rather inevitably to the bottom line of why we suck as a species. Because at the end of the day, the way you end fundamentalism in this case is by exterminating the fundamentalists as a matter of self-preservation.

So while its a cancer upon mankind and I truly believe that all fundamentalism is Satan's way of usurping God's message, I however don't ascribe to the whole GWB presumption of confusing manifest-destiny with an act of personal or national self-interest.

And while it's a problem, in a long long list of others we've got to deal with , like the kin in kind of Islamic Terrorism & lighter religious fundamentalists right here in the US that need enlightenment enough to keep me busy.

Let the rest of the Muslim community keep these a**holes in line, and if they can't and Talibani's genuinely do present a problem for US or our interests, in the future, well then the world REALLY is as dark and twisted as our president seems to think it is.
