Politicaly Inncorrect

I often hear people making blanket statements regarding the nature of groups of people. I can not understand it, in fact it bothers me.

To say that terrorists are evil, animistic, disgusting, and whatever other negative adjectives is fine. It is true. To murder and destroy life simply because it exists with a different out look is inexcusable. It does not matter the upbringing of the person. It is wrong and horrid. The same holds for all human sufferings.

That is not to say though, that all members of a groups of people are terrorist. In fact, is is likley that the majority are not, but have radically different views from them. Terrorists by nature are extremist. Extremist are loud and do whatever it takes to insure that what they want done is accomplished. That includes suppressing all other opinions.

Our purpose in this world is to bring Mashiach. We do this by uplifting the world and making it a better place.Mashiach is peace. So we must have peace to have Mashiach. Labeling large groups creates fear and anger which leads to more violence. To say people are evil is counter productive to this end, unless they are. Most are not.

That is not to say that complete courtesy should be granted to murders, rapists and the like, Quite the opposite in fact, next to no courtesy should be given them. However, that another person shares a trait be it race, religion, skin colour, country of origin, or anything else does not mean they too will act in the same manner. Such thinking is falicous logic.
