Who, What and Why

Fanatical Clerics feed religious fervour, by rousing fanatics to kill - as an observer can see almost daily on the TV today. No thought given to victims, who they regard as inconsequential in their quest to become martyrs. When obsessed by unscrupulous bigots who radicalise these zealots with promises that hypnotise and inflames them with a burning passion, and incites them to commit deeds in a fashion that all rational thinking men fear! Felo-de-se is regarded as a badge of honour, and we see callow youths seeking vainglory recognition, joining the forces of evil! Without contrition they engage in the casual slaughter of innocents! To enact obscene atrocities they don garments that conceal explosives, then infiltrate a throng, to detonate their device, as their swan song! By targetting busy locales in many cities, they exact great loss of life, with such atrocities, indiscriminately killing adults and children alike, they leave survivors to grieve. Isis terrorists strike at the core of democracy, hoping to promote strife amongst ethnic groups, showing no sanctity for life: not even their own! Such hated villains are despised! These forces of evil, must even leave Satan surprised. Rhymer. August 4th, 2016. Felo-de-se - suicide
