A Creed Of Ambivalence


Every radical act carried out in the name of a 
‘religious belief’ sprays a tainted blood on the 
remainder of it’s adherents - when murdering 
innocents no case sanctifies amnesty, or any 
doctrinal edifice miscreants can hide behind - 
blame remains within a creed’s ‘ambivalence’ 
that such extremism even exists; their failure 
to be seen discouraging it is an anathema … 

And so say all of us - without mentioning that 
today Islam’s probably the major cause of an 
upsurge in radicalism’s advent - but indirectly 
as there isn’t unity enough suggesting it’s the 
sole causal event - even if perpetrators seem 
unanimous in claiming Allah’s divine blessing

Manchester Suicide Bombing
The announcement by the UK prime minister came just hours 
after police identified 22-year-old Salman Abedi as the person 
who carried out Monday's deadly suicide bombing in Manchester 
that left 22 people dead.

An improvised explosive device went off as thousands of mostly 
young fans streamed out of Manchester Arena in the northern 
English city at the end of US artist Ariana Grande's performance, 
police said.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group claimed 
responsibility through its social media channels for the attack, 
saying "one of the caliphate's soldiers placed bombs among the 

crowds".
