[...] Recently I spoke about questioning why. I was trying to make a point - things aren’t always as they seem. The violence in Iraq isn’t stopping, far from it. Let’s question why. [...]

In all honesty I think that there is little good in being completely impartial. Of course there is evidence, whether people choose to believe that or not is a different matter. One of the things I was trying to address was the fact that maybe people are sometimes too impartial in such cases and therefore the perpetrators are not being held responsible.

Regarding the bombing, that was really an example of what should be questioned before pointing the finger. That doesn’t mean just don’t hold anyone responsible because at the end of the day it did happen. You say that they did not act on behalf of their peers, well unless you are directly involved with these things you will never really know. If the aim was to stir up hatred between sects in Iraq then perhaps there was some backing from a force, government etc. There is evidence for that, but again I am not trying to argue the case, rather present it so people can investigate further.

Oh yeah, I just got what you meant by respect plugin. Thanks I’m working on improving it further but so far it has been pretty successful.

To be truly impartial and not point any fingers, it might be “softer” to talk about “other countries” rather than the USA specifically - unless you have some evidence, in which case, discuss it!

Regardless of who is responsible for this senseless act, whichever country, whichever group (minority or majority), remember that they don’t necessarily act on behalf of their peers, nor do they represent their opinions and aspirations.

P.S. Glad to see you got the respect plugin working!

Thanks for the comments, I agree - there is always more to the story and there are always two sides to the story. Here we always seem to get only one side to the story, and you can never make a judgement with only one side.

Tibault, all I did then was to say the reasons ‘Why’ America would want to commit such a terrible crime.

Hamza, you’re right, it’s funny how politicians are always throwing money at everything without actually thinking about it. It makes you wonder if perhaps they are actually being pushed into doing it, again - we need to question why they are doing it. Maybe they are getting something else out of it that we don’t see. There are reasons for everything.

Great article Usayd,
you made some very good points there: it IS time for people to open their eyes and start thinking for themself, to understand what is happening.

Oh, and one more thing: when you say something like

then that’s what you should stay doing

really good article and i agree with the points you made. Makes you think that theres more to the story then we know. Theres ALWAYS more to the story. I to was sad to see the mosque destroyed- It was a beautiful mosque. All places of worship should be respected as its a place to worship god.

I hope that this event will only make people come together and realise that were all want the same thing- peace, love and understanding
