The **Iron Hand** is a paramilitary group and a terrorist organization present in the Delta Verse. Founded and led by charismatic terrorist Daniel Van Osborne, the organization is one of the biggest terrorist groups, with radical Islamic movement Muhammad's Army following close behind.

## History

The Iron Hand was founded by Martin Van Osborne in 2001. A staunch anti-religious activist, Martin Van Osborne was formerly a public speaker who charmed and enthralled millions with his rhetoric about how organized religions and theocracies were a threat to peace, since it allows for religious faith to be used to abuse other people and create dictatorships.

More radical anti-religious activists soon rallied to Martin's cause, creating a vicious terrorist organization, with its main goal being to condemn the existence of organized religion and to punish humanity for adopting it and using it as a justification for religiously justified abuse against humanity.

## Ideology

The Iron Hand's main theology is a radical form of anti-theism. While Iron Hand operatives themselves aren't hostile towards the idea of religious beliefs in and of themselves for the most part, they *do* condemn (and execute attacks against) major religious institutions that, in Van Osborne's eyes, "brainwash" the vulnerable, "enslave the weak in spirit" and "abuse fellow humans" in the name of religious faith. The Iron Hand is, for the most part, anti-theistic in the sense that they believe that organized religious institutions and state governments are tools used to "abuse other people in God's name." They see the terror attacks against various religious institutions as "morally justified acts of defense" against perceived "attacks" on the dignity of the human race in the name of religion.

### Criticism of religions

The Iron Hand, being an anti-theistic terrorist organization, has had a history of criticizing religions and using violence to make their point. One of their biggest criticisms of religion is the occurrence in which people use their faiths to justify wrongdoing (ex: the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, the Crusades, etc.). In their anti-religious rhetoric, they commonly cite the discrepancy between the Jewish/Christian God using violence to judge other people and "bring about a greater good" and violence committed by humans against each other in the name of religion for allegedly the same reasons (Something along the lines of "Why do the Israelites being told by God to violently drive out the Caananites get a moral exemption, while the September 11th hijackers get morally condemned as murderers?").
Similarly, the Iron Hand has made a frequent point regarding the Problem of Evil: if God allows evil and suffering to advance a higher good (as was the case in Christ's death on the cross), then literally *any moral wrongdoing*can be justified, and henceforth nobody has any basis to say that the Iron Hand committed moral wrongdoing by killing civilians in their attacks on other countries.
In recent years, the Iron Hand has also stated, on various occasions, that religion is the most evil invention humans have ever created and has caused more suffering than any other ideology in human history. Thus, the religious institutions of the world must be overthrown if the world is to truly know world peace.
