The Pessimist

The "Religion of Peace" has once again sunk to a new low. Islam has shown its power to corrupt anyone.

The latest terrorist bombers are (allegedly) doctors. Who is the last person you would expect to turn to violence/terrorism to make a political point? A doctor. A person highly educated, well paid, intimately familiar with human suffering. And who have, as part of their profession, taken the hippocratic oath, or some such equivalent, to alleviate human suffering and to work towards the betterment of the health of mankind.

Yet here is a group of 'doctors', who loaded up ordinary passenger vehicles with gas and propane tanks and nails (for added shrapnel) and tried to blow them up amongst random innocents.

We can understand that desperate people (desperately poor, stupid and weak) can be swayed to suicide/terrorism by unscrupulous manipulators. And the uninformed westerner (like me) usually believes in the goodness of people, and that the majority of Islamic followers are not suicidal maniacs.

But these latest terror attacks in London and Glasgow were (allegedly) carried out by practicing doctors employed by the UK national health service. Not students, or medical wanna-be's, but actual doctors. This is inconceivable. If a group of medical doctors (not a single psychotic individual, but a group of at least 8 professionals) can have a rational discussion and come to the conclusion that killing random individuals is a desirable course of action, then what are we to think? Islam is obviously toxic, and the acceptable maximum dosage is not well understood. Islam is contraindicated with civilization, and should not be tolerated in any quantity.
