IMO the biggest fallacy on the Internet is this: "All Muslims are terrorists." This is the fallacy that the Mainstream Media (MSM) put out daily in their broadcasts. Yet they fell over themselves trying to paint the Chapel Hill terrorist as an angry man who hated Christians and Muslims equally.
Yes, you heard me correctly: I am labelling the far-left atheist turned anarchist a terrorist. Why? To show that the label "terrorist" is as ridiculous for an atheist as it is for all terrorists who hide behind religion.
This explains why the MSM use the neutral term "extremist" rather than applying a religious label since such extremists hide behind religion.
Even when the false flag terms "Muslim terrorist" and "Islamic jihadi" are bandied about, it is used by MSM as propaganda to distract from the fact that these conflicts in the Middle East, and in the Ukraine are about oil and supported by Big Oil.
So far, when exposed to this truth, the people who buy into this propaganda will go to any lengths to denigrate naysayers while paint the term "Muslim terrorists" as an unrealistic fact, despite it not being anywhere near the truth, except in their minds.
To put it bliuntlu: Big Oil wants Syria's oil. It also wants Libya's oil, and Iraq's oil. It wants a pipeline to traverse Afghanistan from oil fields in Kazakstan to Pakistan, and it wants Russia's oil to keep flowing through pipelines through the Ukraine into the EU.
Most likely, Boko Haram is a distraction from the fact that Mr Jonathan is unwilling share the wealth with all Nigerians, which is a factor in extremists who arose from marginalized Muslims in northeastern Nigeria.
This is the truth that the true believers of "Muslim terrorists" do not want the world to hear. They would rather perpetuate the propaganda that this war is about religion while ignoring the strings being pulled by Big Oil.
Thanks to Big Oil for pulling the wool over their eyes. All the naysayers will just pretend what I just wrote is a conspiracy theory and fall for the MSM lies about "Muslim terrorists."
For not all Muslims are terrorists. Indeed, these extremists hide behind Islam.
Sadly, the fact that few people in the West bother to educate themselves about Arabs and Islam is obvious in how they focus on the Quran and perpetuate hate on Muslims.
Aisha being 9 when she married Mohammad? A fiction concocted to justify child marriage, which is a tradition preceding Islam.
The growing militancy depicted in the Quran? A fiction concocted by taking the Surahs out of context and scrutinizing it from a biased point of view.
It is not the Quran that is the problem with Islam. Rather, it is the fact that the hadiths seem to be misused in a way that reflects the patriarchal tradition preceding Islam. Even shariah has been misused by the extremists, contrary to the ethics contained in the Quran.
I will call the antipathy towards Islam fiction when it is based solely on anti-Muslim propaganda designed to foment hatred towards Muslims. There has not been an unbiased reflection on Islam by certain elements of MSM, but rather a biased slant that paint it as militant.
Such is propaganda, for it creates the fallacy that the object of hatred is worth hating, and thus distracts us from the authors of that propaganda: the elites who stand to profit from their investments in Big Oil.
We in the West are dupes if we believe that Muslims are our enemies. The true enemy will always be the elites who do not care if we fight amongst ourselves, as long as they maintain their investments.
This is why I have stated previously that bombing the oil wells and the pipelines will stop the conflicts in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and even the Ukraine.
For the conflict is not the West versus "Muslim terrorists." Rather it is the haves versus the have-nots. They even profit were the far-left to fight with the far-right over Israel, through their investments in weapons of war.
This is why certain elements in the West will not confront the fact that the elites are controlling the people through the State by pushing the propaganda about "Muslim terrorists" since it is safer to believe in a lie than to face the truth.
Yet they will insist these lies about Muslims are the truth, because it fits their limited world view.
Thankfully, they represent a small but vocal minority.
Most people loathe the fact that the elites are controlling our view about wars in the Ukraine, in the Middle East and in Africa. Yet the protests against the propaganda are filtered out of the MSM's stream.
IMO the TV political pundits will discount anti-war demonstrators because serious discussion about the propaganda might lose profits for their masters, the 1% that controls most of the world's wealth.
This is why the call to explain the War on Terror as a "religious war" was given. It is a ruse to divide the people so that the State can control them. As long as the right-wing conservatives are fighting with the left-wing libertarians, the rich can profit from the confusion.
In the end, the West will continue the drama as report by the MSM in support of their masters. We all want the Islamic State wiped out. Yet this drama is orchestrated by the elites for their profit, including the training of the extremists by Israel, Turkey and other players in this sick drama called war.
As for myself, my role is to watch it all and remind the people that Big Oil and their elite masters wants this drama in the name of free market capitalism.
While the rich profit, the middle class is made all the poorer as they fight among themselves, encouraged by cleverly placed propaganda by the State, all thanks to the MSM.
This so-called war on terrorism is inspired by carefully placed propaganda. And the only people laughing on the way to the banks are the rich.
Update: March 12, 2015 @ 1330
According to propaganda from Raqqa in eastern Syria, Assyrian Christians' lives have been lost to the Islamic State extremists.
From the extremist's point of view, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria bases their ideology on radical Islam, and their foot soldiers are intent on ushering the End of Days.
That's right: these Muslim religious fanatics are not only deadly, they believe themselves to be the chosen ones of God Almighty, ready to fight with the armies of the Anti-Messiah (the West led by America).
What irony! All of Christendom believes they too are fighting the armies of the Antichrist (jihadi extremists).
In truth, this is merely a distraction from the fact that both the 'anti-Isis' coalition and the ISIS have their eyes on the oil wells, both in eastern Syria and in northern Iraq.
Meanwhile, the Russian government is in full support of an anti-ISIS coalition that is authorized by the UN Security Council and is in accordance with international law.
For the proxy war in Syria and in Iraq is based on Big Oil interests lobbying for control of the lucrative oil market in the Western nations, both of the US-led anti-ISIS coalition and of the proposed UN-approved coalition that Russia wants.
Coincidentally, the 25 cents per litre drop in the price of petrol in the latter part of 2014 was followed by the rise to the same prices before the drop occurred. A lot of oil investors profited from the resulting rise in oil prices, and speculation points to a lot of oil shares being turn into cash to fund the US government's anti-ISIS coalition.
Somewhere in America, Big Oil investors are still laughing on the way to the bank.

He Who Lives For Jihad Dies For Jihad (satire)
"These are the limits set by God. Whoever obeys God and His Messenger, He will admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow, remaining there forever. That is a great success.
Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger and crosses the limits set by Him, He shall admit him to the Fire, remaining there forever. For him there is a humiliating punishment." - Surah 4:13-14
Thus the jihadis are losers due to crossing the limits set by God Almighty. They shall not enter Paradise, where there is no fornication.
Instead, he who has killed does not bring glory to God but sins against God.
His destination will be the Outer Darkness to that he alone has made a path.
Indeed, by choosing hatred for unbelievers, the jihadis has sealed his fate. Though he may claim to be for the Muslim community, his actions make him unclean and puts a stain on his reputation.
No one truly does the work of God when he kills in His Name. For jihadis truly are the henchmen of Iblis. In their quest for glory, they have lost the respect of the Muslim community.
What good is shariah when they who sin are condemned to death? What good is a god who is bloodthirsty? Whose God is this that brings adversity to women?
I as a Buddhist hate not the jihadi. Nor do I as a Christian wish a Crusade again terrorism. For "terrorism" is another word for "freedom fighter."
Yet there is no freedom under shariah if you are not a man. This is why the jihadis are unclean. For freedom is the condition of bring free from the negativities of action and behavior, and jihadis by their nature are negative.
Thus they are not of God Almighty but of Iblis. Who wears black but Shaitan's own? What jihadi is for Him when it is a man he serves and is happy to die for?
Any person who believes glory is on the battlefield is lost. For true believers will save other people, regardless of faith. The jihadis will kill unbelievers in the name of God. Thus they show no mercy, for only they are believers.
What vile creatures they are! God Almighty condemns them. They have lost the only battle worth fighting when they chose to kill. No honor comes to he who murders so willingly.
Only in the case of jihadis do I urge the free world to destroy. For inaction will lead to a global terrorist network that will strike at the heart of the Western world, be it Birmingham, Berlin, Chechen, Nigeria, Burma, Malaysia, Tokyo, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Miami, New York, Montreal, Ottawa or Vancouver.
Godspeed to the troops of NATO. Remember that this is the New Crusade to the believers. It is holy war, not a war of attrition, for they are fighting for jihad.
Why else would the Pope seek out Muslim leaders?

The Richness of Existence (satire)
If seeking riches were truly normal to everyone, then no one would be poor and there would be no wars. Yet such a utopia hides the dark dystopia where the riches sought are obtained through the hard work of the middle class who are compliant to orderly production.
Anyone who is non-compliant in such a world is subject to social control, be it through laws that favour the rich and oppress the poor, and by means such as the widespread use of psychopharmaceuticals.
Yet the seeking of riches is not normal to everyone. Some people are poor and others are rich, but most people are middle class.
There is no dark dystopia in reality, for that is the side effect of our suppressed fears about today's world where the West is peaceful while elsewhere, there is conflict and war.
Instead, we live in a world that may be a wonderful place to almost everyone, whether rich or poor. Seeking riches is not a norm but a choice that determines who would be poor and who would be rich.
Of those few people who do not experience the world as a wonderful place are people who live in nations which are embroiled in conflict, a war brought upon them by forces beyond their control. There, survival is a daily struggle.
Still, war is beyond the imagination of people in the West, most of whom live in peace.
Almost seventy years have passed since the last world war was fought. In that time, nearly three generations have seen changes in technology that captivate them today.
Once there were computers of immense size that took up the space of a small warehouse, cooled by gallons of water. Today, we have computers in our smartphones many times more powerful in the palm of our hands.
If we choose to buy such devices, then it is out of necessity. Such devices do not make us rich, yet enrich our lives. Still, there is much enrichment in reading a book or a newspaper rather than using a device to do the same.
Even though I have taken thousands of pictures with my smartphone, the joy of drawing is many times more than that experienced on viewing the scene in a photograph. For me, it is a luxury to draw. I wish that I could spend more time drawing but photography occupies more of my time.
Photography gives me exposure to my immediate world. No matter how many hours I might spend drawing, each hour is spent away from the immediate world. That is why I prefer photography to drawing.
Because I live in a nation in the West, my immediate world is free of war. My photographs reflect the relative calm of the moment.
Yet I am aware that outside of my world, people live in abject poverty, be it a child in the West or a child in the Middle East. Their poverty is often due to politics, whether it is due to sanctions by Western nations or due to rule by despots.
Even though I am aware of the world outside my immediate environment, my purpose in taking photographs was to show the beauty of the moment, be it a sunset or the sparkle of lights at night, and to document what might be lost to future generations, be it a mural on a wall or the hundreds of animal and plant species.
Indeed, by taking pictures I am trying to capture the richness of existence, living in the West in a developed nation.
Of course, photography on a super phone is not the same as with a high quality camera. There are limitations due to battery size and quality of the camera firmware in the phone. Despite such limits of technology, most of my photographs might be considered beautiful to other people.
Although my pictures are wholly mine, I share them freely with the world through GooglePlus.

Meditation on Gender, Western and Eastern Cultures, and Psychotherapy
May everyone be at peace with themselves.
May everyone progress in their spiritual journey.
May everyone endeavor to perfect their minds.
With peaceful heart, may this one walk the path
towards the moment of putting out the fire,
and thus passing onto a higher plane.
Analysis of meditation
"Be at peace" implies a peaceful heart.
"Progress" accepts that not all people who desire a perfect mind have a perfect body.
However, with more effort the dedicated practitioner achieves more peace and calm.
"Endeavor" implies that all one needs to do is act to perfect your mind. Perfection of a mind implies that one learn to meditate. It does not happen right now; yet even after the first week, meditation will lead one to a perfect mind.
With peace comes satisfaction. This is a given. In walking the path, this one encounter less obstacle to reach the goal all Buddhists desire: Nirvana. This desire is not tainted by desire for fame or gain, because that desire corrupts the mind.
Thus one needs to put out the fire of desire, so that one may pass onto a higher plane of existence. This higher plane does not make the earnest practitioner above it all. Rather, she sees no difference between herself and another person with regard to the mind.
A Meditation on gender
For the only difference between man and woman is physical. Our description about the human condition is gender neutral. Likewise, gender is actually unimportant.
In denying women access to the tools of Buddhism such as meditation and the breathing exercises, the Theravada form is sexist to Westerners whose culture is highly sensitive to women's rights. Yet the Theravada form is fostered in a culture where sensitivity to women's rights is fine in politics, but not in religion.
Thus, the apparent sexism is designed to help women understand their place in that culture, which is called Eastern.
Eastern and Western Cultures
Were I to blend the two cultures, it is possible to have a broader understanding of both cultures so that Westerners may understand Eastern culture.
As well, to criticize Theravada Buddhism effectively, the practitioner needs to understand his culture and its effect on Buddhism.
For why is it that Zen is favored over other forms of Buddhism. Shingon Buddhism may
look like a mix of mysticism and symbolism, but it works for a Shingon practitioner.
Psychotherapy and Buddhism
Yet Buddhism is practical for anyone to use, and the breathing exercises of meditation have been incorporated in cognitive behavior therapy.
Thus a psychotherapy that incorporates meditation as its therapeutic tool only uses it to achieve a calm mind. By separating the spiritual part of meditation from the physical part of breathing and posture, such a psychotherapy is devoid of spiritual development.
In this way, anyone can use such therapy to reduce the effects of stress so that one can do anything. Yet there are few statistics on how meditation relieves stress.
Final Meditation
May all who read this know that this person who wrote these words that the spiritual journey is a sacred one, yet it is also a personal journey of self-discovery.
May all know that "self" in context of the spiritual journey is not the ego, that part of a person's psyché that motivates one to seek comfort and satisfaction.
For the "self" this person speaks of is the higher self on that higher spiritual plane which few people achieve except for the greatest of practitioners.
May all also know that "this person" refers to the author of this meditation.
May all who read this discover happiness to be not a goal but a state of mind that is fleeting.
May all who achieve this state of mind of happiness be satisfied with their lot.
For to desire happiness is unwise; it would be better to enjoy the moment.
May all who achieve happiness know that meditation is more fun when you are happy.
May all who realize how fun meditation is, focus on their breath.
This person respects Amida Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Light of loving-kindness and also the Buddha of Infinite Life of compassion.

The above is an example of how I explore Buddhist meditation. I don't just sit on my ass gazing at my navel.
Since meditation helps me to think even though my body is tired, it is in my best interest to use the tools before me to put my thought down.
My mind requires self expression, yet in this blog entry, that expression is done so that the gentle reader may understand where I am coming from.
As well, there is a minor catharsis occurring when I express myself. Even though my writing is not sophisticated and tempered by academic training, its topic at the moment is religion but not the religion most people are adverse to.
May everyone progress in their spiritual journey.
May everyone endeavor to perfect their minds.

Globalism May Mitigate Racial Diversity's Influence On Racism
Racial diversity may encourage racism when nationalism blinds onself to pan-Asian-ism.
For when one opens one's eyes to the East, one's world becomes greater than the West.
Consequently you may have the whole world in your hand.
Indeed, if one is blinded to globalism, then one is very small indeed.
Thus do I believe it needs to be said again:
"Think globally, act locally!"
