There is a profession in vogue for a long time: the terrorist expert. A field in which to believe or not in God is indifferent and in which having met terrorist means is superfluous. Figure transversely impersonated by so-called "analysts", military, journalist colleagues and increasingly also by ordinary people.
It so happens that following the attack in London yesterday the race to today's titles sees competing on the front pages of newspapers such as "Jihad" or "Islam". Words easy to take on a collective unconscious drowned in the years by tragic events that have accustomed us to a hatred of which we are victims and architects.
There are regular conflicts, but also single attacks, as a result of extremism or fanaticism and I hear too often tell theaters of operations, crisis or war, even by military or political leaders as a result of rivalry between the current of Islam or misinterpretation of the same . Because you are also "theologians" at the bottom ...
The cause of every war is one: politics! For the finest "economic". A faith can be used to justify some filth, but never a triggering cause.
I remember how in the 80 years the Shiite term was synonymous with "extremist". Visiting (independently) Afghanistan I discovered years ago that among the currents of Islam, Shiism is perhaps the most harmless, the most respectful of every living being because "part of the same God". Problem, that of the nonviolence of its people, also felt in an interview with a warlord, precisely the Shiite, while feared a Taliban return (we speak of "return to government" because "on the ground", a few hundred meters from the police or army barracks, it has always been reality).
When in the proclamations or in the "fatwe" of the so-called Islamic State, warnings or accusations are read to the "Christian crusaders" certain combinations, as they say in Rome, "bounce" us: they are crazy, ridiculous propaganda. So why should we accept and give good to those who lightly turn to Islam?
Can British or US bombing in Libya or Syria ever be called "Anglicans" or "Protestants"?
The "lone wolf" - which in Italian corresponds to the local "coglione" - is an international figure. We Westerners have, over the years, convinced, trained and armed with thousands for political purposes, to do damage elsewhere. And who is ultimately to blame if we "activate" him, after having massacred hundreds of thousands of human beings from a creature, the ISIS, of which (unofficially) we have lost control ...?
