It is indeed baffling to me that a particular tyrannical group of fanatics claim to represent the Creator of all and pass judgment who is to live in peace and who is to suffer horrific treatments. This mentality is the ultimate form of arrogance and the world must confront and erase it by a united effort. Enough is enough. This is the 21st century and people all over the world must be afforded the freedom to lead their lives, pray as they like, and be protected under fair laws.
What makes the Shiites the one and only chosen people of God? Or Sunnis for that matter? Or dozens of sects of each? Who is right? They can’t all be right.
I believe that the “right” is that belief that honors all people, irrespective of any and all personal considerations. The diverse family of humanity must come of age, abandon its historical savagery, and pull all its resources and talents to make the earth a true reflection of heaven.
