How to treat terrorists: As criminals by constitution, as enemy combatant according to Geneva Convention by military law or ... as humans according to God's law?
These days and many past months, even years since 911 there have been repeated discussions and arguments how to treat terrorists. Just in recent days as a result of the most recent terror attack on a US airplane the question is more often pronounced. Most political parties and White House statements are about the first 2 a.m. options. I.e. to treat "terrorists" either as criminals according to US constitution, giving them all legal rights, or to treat the US traditional way as practiced at Guantanamo Bay Cuba without rights, without dignity, without defense, by means of brute government controlled acts of terror and torture ...
One option never has been considered nor ever tried - to treat humans as humans. To treat "terrorists" as children of God, with love. That option would seriously require a question to be answered by all attempting to condemn "terrorists". The question "why?". Why do terrorists what they do ?
Why become humans "terrorists" - why are others our enemies?
In recent 2 days during the course of a televised press statement and journalists' questions answered by White House officials, one journalists ask the question "why". None of the present high level White House officials understood the depth of the question and thus no answer at all was given to that question.
If people have enemies, then may be they should above all ask "why do people hate me or my country ?". No one hates just for fun. No one sacrifices his life just for nonsense or without reason or cause.
If a country has enemies, then there may either be a huge global misunderstanding about that particular country or that country may have pursued an international politics creating enemies. There are many ways a single country may create enemies. Many countries around the globe have "enemy-neighbors". Example Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir/India, African countries and many others. Some larger countries have created enemy status on much larger scale, such as during cold war Russia, China, (communist-socialist-capitalist conflicts and animosities). Hitler created enemies by expanding his control over increasing number of countries and committing genocide agains Jews. Napoleon created enemies by expanding into other countries much earlier. So did Roman emperor Cesar and many other nations in earlier Centuries or Milleniums.
Before you start to judge, learn all the facts and history of all people involved in a conflict. Be self-critical and neutral in the assessment of the entire historical facts.
Enemies are created by non-loving actions
Enemies never just happen, enemies are created. The basic steps how enemies are created are the same ever since:
- Attempts to control other cultures, other countries, other religions
- Lack of tolerance, lack of attempt to accept others as being different
- Attempts to enforce own points of view, own philosophies, own cultures habits upon others
- Attempts to influence internal political matters by means of spreading (fake) Intelligence, foreign government turnover, exploitation of other countries' resources, profiting from other cultures or countries
- Attempts to expand own political, economical or spiritual/religious power onto other geographical reqions of the planet
- Producing weapons and / or exporting weapons
- ... and many other hidden or more obvious ways of messing around in other people's backyard or homes
As longs as individual countries do any or several of above, they keep on creating enemies. Anyone creating or maintaining or importing weapons turns into a potential danger to its neighbors. Neighbors up to thousands of kilometers away may feel threatened by the simple existence of weapons depending on the type of weapons.
Anyone maintaining a weapon-industry is a potential danger to others. Anyone exporting weapons to other countries becomes an even more potential danger to other nations, particularly to all extended neighbors of weapon-receiving countries.
Any military presence outside your OWN geographical mother-country's boundaries represents a potential danger to some or several or many other nations. The mere presence of military forces or military installations far from your own home county may be sufficient to others feeling threatened in their basic freedom and basic human rights to start planning a defensive mechanism.
Even worst, a country actively involved by supplying weapons to a country at war or supplying any kind of war related logistics or financial support or actively sending troupes or advisors or intelligence to countries at war may be considered a danger to at least one part of the remote parties at war.
Any attempt to expand your own influence beyond your very own person and family may be considered a potential threat to others. The very same applies even more to entire nations being actively involved in exporting or enforcing own "political or ideological views" upon remote countries and foreign cultures far from own homeland.
During the past many centuries a variety of countries have been behaving in such peace destructive ways. Spain, France, Portugal, Holland, UK, Germany, Belgium and other nations at one time or another occupied huge overseas territories by means of genocide and brute suppression of native population. Almost entire continents have been forcefully "colonialized" for exploitation of resources and financial gain. Even the current territory of USA is nothing else but an occupied territory gained by means of genocide of the original native Indian population a few centuries ago. Huge overseas territories are nothing else but stolen land from original native cultures. Much of our western wealth is but the result of stolen gems, stolen resources and exploitation of remote cultures and territories.
From a religious points of view, the Christianity did almost the exactly same as a few people in the Islam world attempt now: To forcefully convert all world to a particular religion. Enforced Christianization has occurred in much of central and south America and many other territories of the world. Those refusing to convert have been killed - genocide for religious reasons.
As a result of this many centuries long atrocities against humanity, against other cultures and religions, we have started to create our own enemies far into our future. The killed enemies come back - reincarnate - as our future enemies unless the killed ones have forgiven and learned to live in peace and move onward toward God on a path of love.
Almost all current countries and cultures have created at one time or another during the past several thousand years enemies! Hence no single person on earth has a right or reason to point finger to any other person. instead, sit down and start searching "why?" and when and how did YOU create your own enemies. When did you start to have enemies, what did you do just preceeding that moment of having your first enemy.
By killing ONE enemy, you create thousands of NEW additional enemies!
The fastest way to increase the number of enemies is by maintaining enemies and treating humans as enemies, as criminals or as enemy conbatants rather than treating people as humans made by God, made to love, made to be loved.
Example Guantanamo Bay prisoners: Each prisoner held as prisoner or tortured at Guantanamo Bay has family members, friends, may be an entire home village that starts to sympathize with that one prisoner. The longer a human is held prisoner, the more his relatives, friends, neighbors and family members start to become enemies of the organization or entire nation holding their loved one or torturing their loved one in prison.
After a few years one single Guantanamo Bay prisoner may turn into thousands of NEW enemies of that entire nation! The very same applies to every "enemy" or "enemy combatant" or "terrorist" killed. Every victim of your own brute force results in thousands of NEW enemies arising and growing at the horizon of your future.
The very same applies to all other situations where one nation or a group of nations attempts to abuse, hunt down, extort, torture, control, suppress or defeat a person or group of persons or entire ethic group or entire nation.
With every enemy you killed - you have created thousands of new enemies
With every Israeli killed by Palestinians, with every Palestinian killed by Israeli the number of new enemies grows. Children of a killed one may turn into lifetime enemies willing to give their lives, to die for revenging the lost father. This circle of revenge and retaliation is an ongoing continuing circle until the very moment when ONE or several victims or surviving family members of victims start to forgive, to search for the original root cause of all animosity. The answer to "why?" may need an above average readiness to accept responsibility of all and every possible own failure to love, to forgive, to give freedom and to protect dignity and freedom of others at any earlier stage of the past. Look into the past history of your own country. Look hundreds or even thousands of years back. What did your country, your past politicians or past religious leaders do in the near past or far past? That history still is pending karma until you and all your contemporary citizens have learned to clean up all that past karma. Clean up by returning what belongs to others, clean up by healing in your love, by asking forgiveness for all mistakes made by your ancestors, by forgiving all mistakes made by all others.
People having karma reincarnate into the situation manifesting that karma. Hence you may be your own far ancestor may reincarnations back. You may be a slave holder or slave kidnapper having kidnapped African citizens and sold them to ancient US territories hundreds of years ago. You may be one of those having colonialized remote territories or exploited the wealth of remote cultures. You may be the one having committed genocide to enforce Christianization to native cultures in South America or Africa or other nations ...
Hence never judge nor condemn others as long as you are far from God, entangled here on earth in hell amidst all war, betrayal and animosities of this dark planet. If God never judges others nor condemns others - who gave you the right to do so and how to you want to justify all the punishment and condemning? Whatever you do to others may be done to you. The way you judge others you may be judged.
As long as mankind is here on earth - mankind has karma as a result of past gross mistakes committed. Karma is self-realizing and acts automatically and without additional actions needed by God nor anyone else. Karma created by you follows you across all reincarnations, on all your travel. Just like a bad spirit haunting you day and night until dissolved in love. The one who suffer from karma are the only ones to have created that very karma. Hence no one else to blame but yourself. Hence as long as you are separated from God you are so as a result of you making more mistakes in your actions, mind and fantasies than you do any good and loving toward humanity and creation.
As long as you have karma, you definitely lack the spiritual or human qualification condemning and judging others who are creating karma. If you no longer have karma, you no longer ever will wish to condemn or judge as only the true lover is free of karma. A true lover only loves, only forgives, only searches for new or better solutions of love to heal remaining existing conflicts among children of God left behind on earth. A true lover never condemns, never judges, never punishes! Never!
With every enemy you turn into a friend you gain thousands of new friends! Your ex-enemy's - entire extended family, most or all his friends, even his entire village may become your friends as well. With every new person you love, you also gain all love from his family and friends.
Love is the only solution to all global conflicts
There is one powerful solution to instantly end all current and past conflicts and to end the power of pending karma waiting to be executed upon you. Love!
Love above all requires your full pardon, your full forgiveness independent of details and facts. A full pardon implies your maturity to search for your own contribution to current or past disasters and atrocities among mankind.
If that spiritual maturity has been reached, then you also have reached a power of love to forgive, to ask for forgiveness and to heal all damages ever done to others by you in your current life or all past accumulated karma as well. God will be your most powerful helper to love, to forgive and to heal all wounds incurred to others until we all are one loving family again. God never supports any war or action of war or action of punishment. God however will support all your actions of love and all your attempts of reconciliation.
God is Love - you are made by God, to the image of God - to love!
If to love poses a problem to you but your heart desires to learn to love, then do the love prayer and ask God to heal your soul and mind. Open for Gods healing love and ask God to clean and heal your mind and convert you into a true divine lover.
Love and Bliss
