So many people of experience see that violence is a chosen tool – the only one – to achieve political end in current times. Those who choose that very tool speak out against it..? If it is true – as seems to be a common point of view – that ‘everyone ‘ else is not listening or will not hear, then it would be logical to raise those voices to a crescendo … those voices that are claimed ( usually quite aggressively claimed incidently ) to be ‘ out there … ‘. Rather than stay quiet under the guise that ‘we’ aren’t listening, is it not more effective to present the so-called ‘plight’ of wrongly-done people unto and via civilized channels.. i.e join together and shout if you have to, on Tv, radio or whatever.. It seems the ‘speaking out ‘ claimants frequently misdirect their voices .. they speak out always, it seems, against us of western values … Shouldn’t those voices speak to their own violent peoples, the ones they call ‘extremists ‘ ? If not, they are only speaking ‘with’ … not against, as I see it! Or… is it perhaps ‘ hear us or we will shout with killing .. ?? I have lived amongst many people of this calling – the Muslims – in many places .. I must say it was common where even those who would like to speak against their own activities when they occurred … were indeed terrified to do so, especially publicly ! First hand witness on many, many sad occasions of this was I .. ! Finally, if we want to be heard by others as speaking against violent, killing methods for political recognition, shouldn’t we direct that shouting out at those who COMMIT that violence ? Why, then, speak out at those who receive the violence and killing ..??
