Extremists of every color and strain tip the balance of the world, threatening an abyssal death for all in between. When will the second Battle of Tours happen? When will we see street crews of neo-Nazis and Christian fascists cracking skulls of all brown peoples of Europe? When will the Islamists relent on their attacks on Buddhists in Thailand? When will the grip of religious fervor be loosened?
Suffering and bloodshed under the warm embrace of religious cloth has long plagued us, and a new age of holy wars is upon us. The jihadists claim no quarter; the neoliberals and fascists say that they have given too much. The innocent seculars and passive christians, jews, buddhists and islamists will pay for the clash between extremists of their creeds; zionists, jihadists, hatemongering white supremacists. Culture wars are upon us under the banner of religious purity.
May all your idols weep blood enough to flood the streets of the cities, and may your hypocrisies drown in a sea of reason. Your only life preserver is the lost memory that humanity is a brotherhood, and the totems you sit at the feet of are made of wood, not magic.
