The 6th Pillar

I believe that most Muslims are not violent, murdering psychopaths. So, I would like the good Muslims to get together and declare a new Islamic edict. A kind of Islamic Canon Law, if you will. I know there are 5 Pillars of Islam. Perhaps there is room for a 6th? I nominate: "Don't kill innocent people."

This new law would state that if you kill innocent people in the name of God, or your fucked up interpretation of God's words and laws, then you forfeit all rights to Martyrdom, Paradise/Heaven and virgins. Instead, you go to a sad, miserable place, somewhere more befitting violent, murdering psychopaths. Perhaps you spend eternity in your own sick, evil, hating soul.

That's it. Keep the other stuff you've been believing, but add that bylaw. Prayers are great, dietary restrictions are fine, well-intentioned traditions and customs are cool. But:  "Don't kill innocent people."

I call on ALL religious leaders, Muslim or whatever, to stand before their loyal flocks and use any and every influence they have to declare that killing innocent people is never an act of honor or faith or worship. It is, in fact, perfectly contradictory to the belief in a loving God. That truth needs to be shouted from every Mosque, Church, and Temple.
