about

The abuse of language to sanitise violence is usually associated with modern terms like ‘collateral damage’ but has a long religious pedigree. The Spanish Inquisition didn’t torture people, it ‘put them to the question’. According to an Anglican bishop, mass slaughter during World War One was ‘a shower of red rain’, a form of spiritual renewal through the blood sacrifice of the nation’s youth. A Dutch director, Theo van Gogh, murdered by a religious zealot for making a film that used Islamic scripture, painted on a women’s naked body, as a feminist critique of male violence and religioushypocrisy,wassubjectto‘divine retribution’. God really does work in mysterious ways.
