Ignorance and fear, people.
They are the father and mother of all extremism.
Be it christian, islamic, judaism, zionist, communist, or any other form of extremism and fundamentalism known to man.
Their success and growth depends on ignorance and fear.

Among the first things they do is to intimidate society into not daring to question the foolishness that is foisted upon it by the extremists.
Once that is done, their influence grows exponentially until their ways are not questioned for fear of either mockery, prejudice or even physical harm.

This is happening now all around us.
Americans are afraid to criticize their government for fear of being seen as traitors to their country.
Many people are afraid to question creation because they will be labeled as anti god and anti society.
Extremist muslims call for the death of anyone who dares question their teachings.
Extremist christians call for atheists, gays and anyone else not conforming to their belief system, to be dis allowed citizenship.
It makes no difference if you are 'extraordinarily renditioned' by an oppressive government or snatched off the streets by religious fanatics and zealots - they are all operating on fear and lies, they are all extremists.

All extremism is based on lies and falsehoods. Fear is needed to force people to accept the lies. with no fear, the lies cant work.

Extremists of ALL varieties should be seen for what they are. They are bullies and they should not be tolerated.
I am not saying they don't have the right to believe what ever they choose. but everyone else also has the right to point out the stupidity and foolishness of fairy tales.
Extremists should not be seen as hero's. They should not be made into saints, martyrs and role models. They should be exposed as what they are.
What they are are people who care nothing for anyone but themselves and their own personal beliefs. They are anti freedom and they are anti questions.
They are destroying society.
And most people are to scared to speak out against them.
Let's not tolerate extremism in any form from any religion or any political philosophy.
If we don't then we are going to find ourselves in a society of intolerance the likes of which we have not seen before.
If we don't control the extremists they will control us.
It is inevitable.
It is already starting to happening.
Government financed museums claiming the universe is 5000 years old.
Teachers afraid to teach science and truth. Afraid to encourage our children to ask questions.
Education is not about answers. It is about questions.
Freedom is about questions.
Freedom has no relation to 'being fed' answers.
NO ONE finds the truth by simply looking and accepting only evidence that supports a predetermined belief system.
The truth is found by looking for information and adjusting your beliefs as you go.
Don't trust anyone who picks and chooses what they accept or reject based on what suits their beliefs. These people have no interest in the truth.
And never be afraid to change your views as information becomes known to you. Better to completely change your mind about something than to stay 'faithful' to a point of view that becomes false.

People, don't put up with extremists. Speak out and speak up. If we don't then we will end up back in the dark ages with people of extreme beliefs having all the influence on society and what members of society are allowed to do. And that includes what YOU will be allowed to do, say and even think.
And remember people, violence and the threat of it, is the tool of the extremist. Whether it be from an invading army or a religious group.
Lets not use their tactics.
Better to use your RIGHT to QUESTION ANYTHING. fanatics cant tolerate questioning. It exposes the stupidity and frailness of their arguments. So they prefer to scare you into not asking.
Ask anyway!
Freedom is very fleeting.
Blink a few times and it can be gone.
Be free, people.
Be Happy!
