In Reply to: What motivated the bombings ? posted by albert on Monday, 10. October 2005 at 23:28 Bali Time:
If you'd ask me, the words of extremist imams 'motivates' these living tools of fundamentalism. These imams bring a completely distorted version (interpretation) of the words of the prophet Mohammed, in each and every of their multiple daily speech in the moshes.
Furthermore I think, being a muslim isn't different from being a member of any other (religious) group, you are in this respect under the influence of 'being a part of that group', group power, group will power, group standards, group morals, etc. It is an especially strong energy that is connected to the base chakra (muladhra), the energy connected to the 'safety' belonging to a group.
Individual identity drowns in a group identity, and it takes a lot of courage to show that you personally do not agree with what is generally 'preached' - especially in an environment of extreme fundamentalism.
It's the young people that get brainwashed by these imams, they get programmed by these hate-drenched, deluded human beings, to become their living tools of terrorism.
Tracing the bombers and have them convicted doesn't do the job, stopping hate, terrorism and wars.
Tracing the 'Speakers' of terrorism, having them convicted en replacing them with truly spiritual oriented persons to 'take over', might slowly and gradually evoke a shift of consciousness, opening doors that lead to peace.
