Religious killers

Dear queers and allies,



Two religious assassins recently administered
the ultimate censorship
(death)
to persons they perceived as enemies,
in the U$A.

One killer claims to be Christian, one claims to be Muslim.
They weren't acting in accord with the Bible or the Koran --
but they did get plenty of encouragement from fellow religious fanatics,
on the Internet and elsewhere.


These two assassins may think they are different,
since they follow rival sects.
At their core, they are sick fascist twins.
This Christian and this Muslim mimic the Jewish fanatic who
stabbed a queer-rights marcher in Israel,
and those who throw bricks annually in Moscow.

From Oklahoma City to Manhattan and beyond,
right-wingers
kill queers,
persons of the "wrong" color,
persons holding "wrong" beliefs,
and bystanders.


Knives can be used for good or for evil.
So can religions, and most causes and ideologies.


When we struggle for freedoms and peace and our planet,
we may be hated, taunted, injured.
We must resist natural human urges toward
hating the haters and killers.

If we cannot love them,
at least we can try to forgive them,;
for truly
"they know not what they do."
