I don't have any idea what Shuttleworth's politics are, but he obviously does not hesitate to associate himself -- even if "only" semantically -- with so-called revolutionary movements known for their terrorist agendas.
In what way does "ubuntu.org" have a terrorist agenda? Or does pacifist equate to terrorist in your dictionary?
Well, no, but they can be just as damaging (in different ways, of course):
[SNIP: Many good quotes]
Of course, there are just as many pro-pacifism quotes.
You missed on of the best:
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."
This quote doesn't mention "a time to think", even less "a time to question"... but if you started doing that, the bible - nor the quran - would not stand for very long. Unless you start to "doublethink" of course :-)
Ecclesiates 3:1-8
