I find it funny, Skybird, that you post long rants about non-dualism and enlightenment in one thread, and end this one here with a categorically dual division (victims and perpetrators, enemies and allies, us and them, underlyingly - human vs. nonhuman) virtually on the same day. So much for non-dualistic thinking, huh.
I withhold comment on the organization itself, and I think suspicions towards it are right. But I agree that the real clash of civilizations is going on in the heads of people who want it to be going on, conveniently serving powers-that-be that exploit these "us vs. them" divisions to great political effect. I can only continue to condemn this kind of thinking, because when you dig down deep enough, its logic ultimately works against the very people who support taking sides in this supposed clash, whichever side they fall on. Ultimately, the moment you accept that this kind of division exists, you are surrendering the very human rights you are supposed to stand for.
