An open Letter

Interesting to read this, but How about re-tying it so it makes sense George and re-posting it with a proper title so more people will look at it?

a re-post with more info would help get5 comrades on board with letters of support or protests at the jail or phonen calls to the governor.
we know jail is ran by racist fascist thugs and we know they dont respect religion. but perhaps a little more clarity and more people would be willing to get involved. either way, fire to the prisons and those that control them!

This really needs to be re-posted, at the moment it reads like gibberish and I doubt many people will bother to read even if they get past the meaningless title. A prisoner has taken the effort to get this info out and more effort should have been taken posting it here. The block screws at Frankland have always been brutal and racist, but let's not get sucked into coseying up to islam or any other stupid religon.

> coseying up to islam or any other stupid religon.
What does that mean? That's racist

Rather than removing ‘this shit’, we should all be supporting the statement about religion. Religion serves the interest of the ruling elite by imposing conformity through the terror of damnation or the promise of a better life in the hereafter so don’t make any trouble now. The colonialists’ religion in Africa is now used by the postcolonial elite to line their own pockets. The evangelists from the US, and those home grown in Africa, spread fear of damnation whilst taking money from those who can least afford to give it away.

The prosperity theology from Nigeria, spreading like a disease throughout sub-Saharan Africa, teaches that those who are rich have God’s blessing whilst those who are poor have been punished by God. ALL religions justify the unequal distribution of wealth and prevent people from understanding the real reasons for inequality

The bumper stickers on the brand new 4X4s say “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” ALL religions are poison and forms of terrorism regardless of the ethnicity or nationality of those who follow them.

The President calls for nationwide prayer by those of all faiths to bring peace whilst his police and soldiers are shooting and killing innocent people to maintain himself in power for his twenty-sixth year. ALL religions cosy up to this murdering scum and turn their anger against other perceived ‘evils in society’, such as homosexuality, rather than dealing with their hypocrisy in not speaking out against the tyrant.

We should support those who are persecuted but we must never compromise on something as basic as one of the main causes of hierarchy and oppression.

No gods; no masters; no leaders.

Most people from Islamic countries are religious.
So, by persecuting religion, you are in effect persecuting people from Islamic countries because you are persecuting non-whites more than you are whites who have a higher percentage of atheists.

This makes you a racist.


In the same way: by not allowing people into this country because of their nationality is also racist, because that means most people who are turned away are non-white.

Different governments will use religion to justify their abuse of power and to justify their definition of the nation state. This may include the BJP and their extreme version of Hinduism in India, the 'moral majority' in the US that gave their support to Bush and his policies in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Israeli state that uses religion to justify its land grab from Palestinians for the benefit of the Jewish population, the Buddhist state in Sri Lanka and so on.
My comment referred more to the abuses of those who follow Christianity than it did to Islam. Where I live (where one in ten of the population are Muslim) I am constantly telling evangelical Christians who spout on about so-called terrorism caused by 'Muslim immigrants' that Islam has a long way to go to catch up with the deaths and destruction caused by state sponsored Christian terrorism.
I do not believe in borders or countries and I live in an African country where Somali, Sudanese and Congolese immigrants are persecuted by the state to serve its own political ends and, as I stated, the interests of a President who has been in power for 26 years and who regularly uses religion to justify his murderous policies.
The comment was about justifiably attacking persecution and mistreatment. These are the products of a number of factors, mainly economic. The mainly white rich North wants to continue controlling the economic resources of the South and keep it in a state of underdevelopment. It is called neocolonialism where at times religion may be used by those with power to justify their abuses.
If you want a world of no countries and no borders, as I do, then you must recognise how religion is used by those with economic power to set up divisions, to set up hierarchies, to provide the justifications for the state, whether in US, India, Israel, Sri Lanka, Iran and so on, to abuse its power.
I repeat my previous comment "ALL religions are poison and forms of terrorism REGARDLESS of the ethnicity or nationality of those who follow them."

A shame these things have to even be said, because of idiots like 'no borders'. Being an atheist does not make you a racist, except in the eyes of a complete moron.

Who said being an atheist makes you a racist?!!!

Can't see that anywhere. Learn to read
