Re: More than 136 people slaughtered by Military and its Secular supporters in Egypt!
Those under a religious disposition can just as easily manipulate and distort either willfully or otherwise, religious doctrine. So they can just as easily justify almost any barbarity, simply by way of re- interpreting given religious beliefs to suite themselves.
There have been no dearth of Muslim tyrants who have manipulated religious beliefs to suite their ends. If you ask me, that even worse. Its evil committed in religious garb.
Secularist dont just “make up” morality. Morality is inherent within all of us, humans, even animals to some degree. You dont make up what is moral, morality as it exists is what your laws are based on and are what you build upon. Im talking about inate morality, things we all understand to be moral. When you get into specifics, you begin dealing with “what if’s,” and at such a state, even religious doctrine most defer to reason and logic. Im sure your aware of the hadeeth concerning the Prophet and his governor to Yemen.
Armies are Secular based on what? That they deposed a person who by most accounts was as big of despot as his predecessor except with a beard and Islamic leanings? You seem to assume a little to much here. Personally, I figure if such Armies are secular, thats not an issue. After seeing what “Islamization” or whatever term you perfer has done in countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan etc, anyone with any sense would be secularist. Perhaps the Egyptian army panicked at the thought of Egypt becoming another Pakistan? Would you blame them? Had our Army and govt not indulged the religious conservative and opposed their regressive policies, we would have a much better country to call our own.
It wasnt the West that toppled Morsi. Have you forgotten the Thousands who began protesting leading up to his ouster? You seem fixated on his “Islamic” credentials, and ignore the fact that he was inept, and had policies very much reminiscent of those the Egyptians protested against during Mubarak’s time. You have all decided to blame the West, but none of you has anything to say on the substantive reasons that led to his ouster, and the thousands who were protesting his policies… If Morsi had the support of the people, I dont think he would be under house arrest today, regardless of opposition from the West or anywhere else.
