Violent Attacks

It deeply saddens me to hear of the violent attacks carried out by extremist in Mumbai, India. The taking of innocent lives in the name of a cause, especially a religion is a despicable act. I can't fathom the sickness that drives people to commit these atrocities in the name of their God. It is one thing to defend yourself from attack but quite another to actively seek out unsuspecting targets in some religious quest. These people have no soul, no compassion, no decency. Whether they can be brought to justice in a court of man is irreverent. Whomever their God is will judge them. I have read of many religions over the years. I can't recall any that support these type of actions. Extremist are a dangerous lot. They occupy the fringes of all religions around the world even here in America. It is a desperate mind that arrives at the conclusion that violence in the name of any cause is just. To stretch a belief to the point of enacting violence against your fellow human beings is fundamentally sociopathic behavior. The same convoluted logic used by serial killers and mass murderers. I feel remorse and sorrow for the families affected by this senseless act. I hope that they may find some peace.
