Choice

From clockwork orange:
Choice. The boy has no real choice, has he? Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen. He ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.
The insincerity in this girl's testimony is also quite clear. I wonder how long denial can overrule reason and evidence.

Unfortunately, some of the most heinous acts are carried out in the name of religion and Taliban is just another rogue group that has followed the age-old tradition of doublespeak in this regard.
I know that most people including numerous devout muslims across the world (and even in pakistan) have expressed outrage and welcome that.

Please refer to my other post .
