S3, The term "radicalized" is a secular term for someone who has become attached to an ideology or idea to the point of excluding accepted morals in society. In TM-speak this is ignorance, the failure to recognize the higher levels of consciousness in humanity.
Pope Francis has addressed this phenomenon, the mindless and rigid acceptance of fundamental ideas from any beliefs--religious or secular-- as a form of idolatry. As such, the IS terrorists are not worshipping Allah in their pursuit of the caliphate, but a god of their own making, which is clearly the worst nature of themselves and humanity. IOW, they're EVIL. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> wrote : Have you noticed how the mainstream media (both in the UK and US) has taken to the expression "they were radicalised" when referring to homegrown Muslim terrorists? They make it sound like these nihilistic, death-infatuated losers were just regular, upstanding members of their local community when they caught some highly infectious disease so are basically just victims themselves; naive innocents taken in by slick propaganda videos. We're talking about Islamic State - a death cult that sexually enslaves young women, throws gays off tall buildings, loathes western freedoms, fears the liberation of women, pitilessly murders our fellow citizens, approves of the killing of apostates, hates Jews, Christians and liberals, trashes our priceless cultural heritage, and is implacably opposed to free speech. Anyone who sympathises with IS is a cancer in our midst and should be called to account and not mollycoddled. Stop treating them as victims and hold them to account.
