Theoretically of course - how is it morally right to teach child lies and they will go to paradise by....?

Question

becoming a human bomb against peaceful people just because they don't have the same religion you have?

All you have to support your arguments are mostly phoney property rights issues. How can you justify such crimes against humanity like educating your children to do such things and teach them lies?

Answer 1

To paraphrase Golda Meir "when arabs love their children more than they hate Jews there might be peace" I feel sorrry or those poor brainwashed people.

Answer 2

I was once told by one of my favorite teachers of all-time that "Education is the most dangerous weapon", and you've definitely brought that argument to light with this question.


I can't make any arguments to it being "morally right" because I don't believe it is - however everyone's different, and no matter how sick/cruel people can be, that's just the way it goes sometimes - all we can really do is address the issue and make sure we don't do the same thing.


For example in Japan during World War II they would brainwash young boys by telling them that by them getting into an airplane and suicidally crashing into foreign territory with a loaded bomb (kamikaze) and that their lives would be in honor for the Emperor (their god), I don't know how anyone could make an argument that such an action is just.

Answer 3

I think in different countries their religion plays a large part in brainwashing of the people. If they are taught, it is ingrained in the mind or they are scared as children to believe what the government/religion is telling them; Then they truely believe they are doing the correct and honorable "thing" for their country and their god. Although we know it is horribly wrong, their faith has them believing attaching a bomb to themselves, their children, mother, etc is the 'right' thing to do.
In this country I would hope we have overcome that sort of behavior; but as we have seen in the past--there are a few of them here. We can just hope that their children who are here; are able to see the difference in that behavior as compared to life we live here.
I mentioned the word faith above in a sentance---just as we have faith, wether it be in God or spiritual. They have their faith, however wrong it may be.

Answer 4

wow..risky here with that question, but I like it!

You are 100% right. It's inhumane, and barabaric to say the very least. I am going to stop there..becase everything I want to say will either get me kicked out of Y!A forever, or worse. I will probably be offending other people...not that I care but for the sake of peace..I don't want to start a fight here.. lol.. If you would like to talk about it you know where to reach me.

Answer 5

The people doing this do not believe they are lies. Obviously they feel justified in their actions.

Answer 6

Teaching children to murder is the most disgusting thing to do. How can those people not care for their own children. They must not know what love is.

Answer 7

It is not morally right and it is abominable. Those people are so hateful.

Answer 8

In my opinion it is not useful to try to assess moral issues in this context.

Doing so merely invites a tenditious and endless series of moral comparisons which are subjective in nature.

What act or attitude is more or less moral?

Is it moral to use individual suicide bombers against civilians or to drop bombs from airplanes which, by their nature, kill civilian bystanders?

Is it is moral to allow people to come from Russia and instantly become citizens of Israel while barring individuals who live 10 feet from the border and whose grandparents lived in Israel for 1000 years prior to its creation in 1948?

Is making decisions about people passed on the individual's religion morally acceptable in any circumstance?

If it was moral for the American Rebels to ambush British troops in 1776 then why is it immoral for Iraqi rebels to ambush British (or American) troops in 2007?

If it was moral for the Western Allies to reduce Dresden to ashes in World War II and incinerate 50,000 German civilians or to obliterate Hiroshima then why is it immoral for 19 Muslims to blow up a building in New York?

The fact is that ALL violence is morally questionable and yet people of every race, religion and ethnicity teach their children to extoll their own violent history and hold their own soldiers as paragons to be emulated.

I think it is fair to say that modern liberal democracies tend to do a bit less of this and one hopes that mankind will make further progress in recognizing the general immorality of violence. But it does us little good to adopt a position of moral superiority when doing so tends only to justify the perpetuation of our own violence.

NB:Well, I see that moderation and reason are not appreciated in this section

Perhaps all of you who regard yourself as morally superior to the Arabs might consider spending at least a moment reflecting on your own faults, the failings of your own society, and the unpleasant truths about your own co-religionists.

If nothing else that might gain you the benefits of a modicum of humility.
