What is a masochist?
I would like to refresh your mind on the tragedy that took place in Afghanistan recently. A woman expressed her opinion, which really should be her right, through burning pages from the Koran.
 
This poor woman was beaten, thrown from a roof, run over by a car, and then burned at a stake. 
 
Under what circumstances would this ever be acceptable? Where is the teaching of torture and burning, and all the heinous things that happened to her? This story makes me so upset, and honestly, I believe that justice needs to be served. Where are the perpetrators? What will happen to them? I don't think prison would be enough. They clearly were taking pleasure in watching this woman die in front of them. This is the action of masochists, they don't need to be put away, they need to be assessed for a mental disablilty. 
 
Terrorism is masochism. A masochist is someone who takes pleasure in watching someone suffer or be in pain. All of these people are taking pleasure in torturing a poor woman standing up for herself. It is not enough to throw this garbage into jails. It will not bring justice to burn them and beat them too. We need a real solution to this terrorism problem.
 
Daash, Isis, Muslim Brotherhood are all trained to be masochists, which I should point out is a mental disability. Masochism is an illness in the brain. And furthermore, they are training poor innocent children too.
 
What is our world coming to, that a woman goes through all of this suffering for an opinion? Or because of a verbal disagreement? 
 
The animalistic part of me says the murderers need to be murdered, and ran over, and burned. But all of that will not bring me comfort to the tragedy of the human race. What is happening? What can be done? How can we solve this disturbing trend that is happening now?
