Turbin head cartoons and the state of the world

I just read some comments people were blogging and some if it really alarms me. Having said this, I think that there is one axis of evil that takes place here. Let me explain from my perspective.

Over the ages,regligion of any type has provided people with a vision and a purpose in life for all. Look how many christians go to confession on a regular basis. They are following the time honored values christianity has given them and when they break from tradition, the confessional is a way of conforming to socieity's values and redeam themselves. Muslims have a simliar set of rules that govern the way they think and act on a regular basis.

What we fail to see is a few extreme leaders who are very very very good at creating a vision for people and getting them to follow thier ideas and beliefs(Usually for personal gain, eg Arafat.) These men just simply enjoy thier power and are very good at creating a vision for the masses. Look to see when people are rioting, it is always young men in the streets, mostly teenagers who have no clear vision in life and are desperate to conform and be led. Being told what to do when a person is poor and lost is better than what thier current reality is, unfortunately. It is much the same way in the Repubic of Ireland, so the muslims are not only the ones with someone creating a vision for them and having a mass following. Once again, Christianity in the western world sets out a clear set of rules and values for people to live thier lives by. I would hate to think of what this world would be with out them. They are the foundation for how we behave and act in society. I feel this is probably why we are so insensed at suicide bombers and such. They have a different set of values they believe so strongly to live by. Bin Laden was very effective at recuiting and creating a clear concise vision for young men. So strong and clear was his vision, that he brought the greatest nation on this planet to it's knees for a couple of days. I doubt like hell it will happen again but you never know!

I just wanted ya'll to take a look back at the underlying cause of all this. It was just a stupid cartoon and I noticed someone else noticed that in the muslim world cartoons in thier papers were just as damning and crude. Be-heading christians and reporters comes to mind.

Muslim or no Muslim, Christian or no Christian, stong country or weak country, it is the leader who creates a vision for the masses to follow.

One simple example testiment that a clear concise vision is strong a well kept body. It is something to cherish and to be proud. Look at the gym at how many people can create the vision of a body they want and work towards that goal. For some it is as simple as a picture on the refrigerator and for others it is a much more elaborate process. It is this kind of vision and determination that drives us to that goal.

I just wish the rest of the world could understand this simple fact for strength and guidance.
