This report from Lebanon is jaw-dropping in its audacity. ". . . outside the natural battlefield. . ."? I read something about the Islamic extremists that went like this: Never has anyone demanded so much from others and expected so little from themselves.
And at the same time, in my practice I am taught—and begin to believe in my heart—this: We all are, at our core, capable of the atrocious things the extremists have done. We either forget it, or don't want to admit it. I, for one, have not wanted to admit it, but in my heart of hearts, I know it's true. So that I don't do those things is why my practice is so important.
