Cowards hide behind whatever prevents them taking responsibility for their actions, or helps them avoid facing the people they hurt. They find easy ways into situations and often follow that with even easier ways out. They slip into concert halls to do their nastiness, attack people relaxing on beach fronts or go after shoppers only to never hang about to let us know why they do it.

Apparently, some are motivated by the promise of a parade of virgins in heaven. This suggests …their actions are not driven by principle, but by lust and greed. Why would one person want 72 virgins?. I also take from that incapability to even find the courage to do the dating game.

Now we know they will also deliberately inflict their nastiness on children too. Various nature programmes have educated me on animal instincts towards the young. I have even marvelled at how this instinct is not limited to own species.

Children are there to be protected… you don’t even need to love them to feel the instinct to protect them. They are defenceless… and that coward at that arena in Manchester probably knew that.
