Nothing is right here.

Dear Blog,
    the recent beheadings of the Coptic Christians by the ISIS was shocking, but not really unexpected, given the cruelty already demonstrated by this group. But really, how bloodthirsty can Man be? How depraved and hollow inside?
         When confronted by the stories of Jack the Ripper and other 'monsters', one would shudder to think we could have passed someone like that on the street and just never knew how his mind worked...Then we calm ourselves thinking, that he was just one among the hundreds we pass everyday, he may not be that man in the mall, in the buss we just alighted from, on the parallel road to our homes, in the next car at a traffic signal....hopefully not.
         Then we read about mass murderers, monsters like these men, dozens, no hundreds who all have the same killing streak, the same need to hurt, maim, rip apart body, souls and minds of those who might even have been his neighbour, once upon a time. Who enjoy hearing the screams, seeing the tears of their victims, of those who are weaker, milder, defenceless against such cruelty. And then to take pride in knowing that those whom they had driven out now have no future, all their memories left behind in smouldering ruins, is a badge they wear with honour, while they shout out their victory cry!

   Victors of what? Who will acknowledge their triumph? No religion here on earth wants to be associated with them, nor claim true kinship with their doctrine. Is heaven really waiting for them as they suppose? If they are emulating their god, then what kind of a heaven awaits them? Where the supreme being they are imitating and obeying is waiting for them, with what- open arms of love? Hugs of joy? Unconditional acceptance of their past failures? For surely all man has slipped up sometime or the other, done something which in their minds might forfeit them eternal bliss? So what in heaven are they expecting for the carnage they have caused? Will all be forgiven in this heaven of thiers?
      Forgiveness...will they cry out to be forgiven? To be given another chance to do right? Mercy? Who would they cry out to, beg from; who would listen?

    But thats just us, Blog, what we deduce from what we have seen and heard. Taking another train of thought, knowing what we know now, wouldn't we want to approach these monsters with caution? Would a picture of these men holding kittens and soft toys suddenly brain wash us into thinking they are the Salt- of- the- Earth, Guardians-of- all-things-Good; Benevolent and Merciful...? Seriously?
   So the mind boggles when we read that teenage girls are rushing to be by their side.What are the girls going for? Something is not right here.

      Nothing is right here.
