A Most Evil Terrorist, who had been terminated in the act of attacking people at a place of worship, ascended to the gates of Heaven. He was just about to saunter through and join the hallowed company of preachers, patriots and inquisitors when the Recording Angel slammed down the pearly shutters.
"What is the meaning of this?" demanded the Most Evil and now incredulous Terrorist.
"You have committed a grave crime," said the Angel; "not only did you murder, but you butchered your infidels as they were praying, which the British Government has informed us is a grave aggravation of your offence."
"My offence?" repeated the Most Evil Terrorist, bristling with moral indignation. "Is it, then, an offence to massacre the infidels in the very act of their unholy blasphemy?"
"Had you but chosen to vent your righteous wrath upon a school or a hospital in an appropriate location, or upon a mass political protest urging something other than harsher treatment for refugees," replied the Angel, "your actions would have been excusable and quite possibly meritorious; but in the opinion of God and His Majesty's Government it is rarely a good idea to interrupt people in the act of abasing themselves before Authority."
