Blasphemy Against Judaism, Christianity, And Islam

|

Anderson Cooper has a story about the so-called “Lord's Resistance Army”. This bunch of psychopaths is under the leadership of one Joseph Kony, and they operate out of northern Uganda. The column is titled “Old horrors, young victims”, dated February 23, 2006:

Unfortunately, this is rather an old story. The horror in Uganda has been going on for many years. The “Lord's Resistance Army” kidnaps children for their use, and so the fleeing children become “night commuters” to secure areas in order to avoid being taken and enslaved. It's sickening to read Jeff Koinange's post from CNN, but I'm glad he reported the story.

Joseph Kony and the LRA claim “to base its principles on the Ten Commandments”. Perhaps they can't read, or perhaps they are operating under a different version of the Ten Commandments than the ones you and I can find in Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21.

If you want to see blasphemy against a religious faith, don't look at a few Danish cartoons. Look at Joseph Kony, the “Lord's Resistance Army”, and the despicable things going on in northern Uganda. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all revere and try to follow the Ten Commandments. That's our Lord they're talking about. That is the ultimate blasphemy – doing monstrously evil things and claiming to be acting for God.

Northern Uganda is not on our list of strategic places, so don't expect the U.S. Marines to drop in there any time soon. But how about an allied force of Jews, Christians, and Muslims? Surround Kony's base of operations in Uganda and take him out! If by some mistake we happen to capture him alive, we can drop him off in a nice comfy cell in The Hague next to Slobodan Milosevic and let him deal with Carla del Ponte.
