Cooper used a degree of literary license to depict Indians as animalistic savages. Cooper was not, however, describing a specific enemy, but used the event, rather, to illustrate how a malevolent hatred can rot the mind and turn humans into sub-animalistic destructive monsters.

Do not ascribe the actions of all of our muslum enemies to hatred as a motivation. There are many who sincerely pity us as doomed infidels, but very realisticly realize that it's either them or us, and are doing their very best to get in both the first and best blows possible.

And there are also many of those whose feelings toward us are more neutral, as you might be to a cockroach before stepping on it. And yet out of a motivation to do that which they perceive as their duty, they will do so unto their deaths.

If you are not aware of the muslum terrorist shootings on the railway near the Australian mining settlement of Broken Hill on New Year's Day of 1915, you would be well advised to do some homework.

With all do respect, Archy, what does anything that you have said have ANYTHING to do with my point concerning the proliferation of sadistic brutality in the name of a cause? ... any cause. I made no specific mention regarding current enemies, because I fully expect that the complexion and religion of our enemies will become diluted as this current struggle between ideologies unfolds. The specific reference to the savagery of the Hurons was in metaphor only, and used to lend imagery to acts of savagery. My point being, this is going to get worse.

Do not ascribe the actions of all of our muslum enemies to hatred as a motivation. ??? Are you serious? In order to initiate a savage act of brutality against another Man, one must surrender their Humanity to irrational hatred for self and others. You may not think so. I get that.

You would be wrong.

There is no neutrality between life and death nor good and evil, just as there is no compromise between food and poison. If someone disregards my existence as insignificant as that of a cockroach, it makes no difference in my life. If you try to act on that notion, the force that you initiate will surely be slammed upon you like a mass of conceptual concrete, driven by the conviction of my right to exist and the fury of my desire to do so. If we cannot agree ideologically, then we may have to fight until one of us remains. Do get this, however. Of the two ideologies involved in the current struggle only one adopts the notion to "live and let live."

And please do pardon the research slip. I should have run a search for the most obscure incidents in the most backward places at the turn of the previous century when attempting to make a point about what is happen that effects me and my family in America right now.
