Hate: Defusing It

Filed under: FrontPage — by Will Kirkland @ 3:42 pm

Dave Neiwert of the indispensible Orcinus blog, and author of Strawberry Days, about the internement of Japanese Americans, has a moving summary of the brave woman at the Jewish Federation of Seattle who slowed down the gunman last week, and the strong, meaningful community response by Muslim and Jewish alike to the gunning down of 6 women by (apparently) a deranged Muslim (Christian convert recently) young man.

In Dante’s Hell those guilty of the sin of cupidity are in the ninth circle, frozen in the Lake of Ice. Having cared for nothing but self in life, they are encased in icy Self for eternity. By making people focus only on oneself in this way, Satan and his followers turn their eyes away from the harmony of love that unites all creatures.
