In what way does "ubuntu.org" have a terrorist agenda?
Or does pacifist equate to terrorist in your dictionary?



Well, no, but they can be just as damaging (in different ways,
of course):


[SNIP: Many good quotes]


Of course, there are just as many pro-pacifism quotes.


You missed on of the best:

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under
the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and
a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to
heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and
a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast
away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace,
and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to
sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a
time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."

This quote doesn't mention "a time to think", even less "a time to question"... but if you started doing that, the bible - nor the quran - would not stand for very long. Unless you start to "doublethink" of course :-)
