Glasgow Airport Car Bomb

Posted Jul 1, 2007 by The Wild Scotsman

My deepest sympathies to those injured at the Glasgow Airport. Again, another cowardly act performed by Islamic Fundamentalists against the modern world. As a citizen of the world I find it difficult to understand how the alleged followers of the “religion of peace” could tolerate these acts and continue to support them. Where are the marches, candle light vigils, and protests by the followers of Islam against those who use their religion as a shield for hate? If my church or faith declared death to all those who are not believers I would be kicking down the church doors and removing the speakers of hate, however, such actions are not being taken in the Islamic world.

This is the 21st century and as a global society one needs to realize that people are not ruled by solely by religion. The laws of modern society trump all beliefs. If people from any group do not wish to grow and adapt to be a peaceful citizen of a modern society than they need to leave and go back to were ever their beliefs are accepted as the norm. This is not hateful this is reality.

Having lived in Turkey for some years my family had to alter its beliefs in order to function in that society. We did not become less of what we are; however, we did have to realize that this country was not going to honor our Christian beliefs or our Western Culture just because we are there. We needed to learn what was acceptable in the public forum and understand that it is not their job to change; it’s their country!
