    As the Long Island Railroad train pulled into the station at 5:33pm, Colin Ferguson got out his gun and started firing until he was held to the ground by three of the passengers: Kevin Blum, Mark McEntee, and Mike O'Connor. The three men held him to the ground until the police arrived. The police found a note in his pocket labeled “reasons for this” and among them was “racism by Caucasians and Uncle Tom Negroes.” Ferguson was offered free representation, but fired them because they urged him to say he was driven temporarily insane by “black rage.” He then chose to represent and argue his own case. He argued that someone had stolen his gun whilst he was sleeping and framed him for the shootings. Colin Ferguson was convicted of murder for six passengers and attempted murder for the other nineteen. He was sentenced 315 years and 8 months in prison and is currently serving his time at the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York. Colin Ferguson is an African-Jamaican mass murderer who expressed his rage by shooting at 25…

    The extremists who conducted the terror attacks in Paris on Friday November 13, are members of ISIS. The terrorists follow the laws of ISIS, and their beliefs reflect the teachings of ISIS, which is an organization invented and created by religious extremists. Muslims, on the other hand, are people who follow the law of Islam, and are focused on the teachings of Islam, written in their holy book, the Qur’an. In so many cases, we confuse a peaceful religion with members of a radicalised, violent, extremist group. I believe that the attacks on Paris are committed to purposely cause an Islamophobic backlash. Religious extremists like ISIS, want there to be backlash as it then sparks a war between the West and Islam. Strengthening right wing, xenophobic Europe, in turn, strengthens their…

    Sacred texts interact with the key doctrines, as these key doctrines are contained in and expressed through these sacred writings. Furthermore, in order for religion to exist as a dynamic, living entity this doctrinal dimension, as contained in the sacred texts, must also be applicable to the practical demands of daily life. This is where ethics comes into play, as it is ethics, which embodies the doctrines in the form of laws and precepts thus allowing for the practical application of religion.
