No monopoly on terrorism

Just to remind us that Muslims have no monopoly on murdering the innocent, this Associated Press story (picked up from Salon.com).

I have always maintained that terrorism knows no religious/national boundaries. The Israli Government is as much a terrorist organization, albeit richer, better equipped and with deep connections with the New York Jewish community as the Palestinian Authority.

Terrorists are everywhere- from Pakistan to India to Malaysia to the US. The present BJP Indian Government is also a fundamentalist Hindu Organization and responsible for many terrorist acts against the Moslems in India.

The Moslems are, however, numero uno.

Interesting call,

As one who has had his'ass bombed out of town' before, by a certain irish based, american funded organisation about whom reference is politically incorrect,

If you get caught in the crossfire, it concerns you. If you have deep beliefs, it concerns you. if it's 'not in your backyard' it doesn't. Seen this too many times to believe.

I, personally, do not believe in force/violence/aggression to make any point. Others disagree,

Easy there, Cowboy.

American doesn't fund the IRA. Some of our resident terrorist/wacko/revolutionary types might fund it, but that's not the same thing. If you consider that they're Americans, consider that they're so in name only.

We never took a vote and said "Let's all fund the IRA."

Wow you finally found an example of modern terrorism by a non muslim. Now the question is what do the people in israel say about this. Are they all for it or are they angry at the terrorist.

Not hard, Epidemic; there are Basque (ETA) terrorists in Spain, Christian antiabortion terrorists in the USA, Maoist terrorists in Nepal, Tamil terrorists in Sri Lanka, and of course the good old IRA. Plenty to go round.

The big difference is that they are hated in those other countries.

Yet middle eastern terrorists of the muslim faith are considered heros. They are touted as something for your kids to idolize.

They are considered freaks and periahs in western countries, except in small onclaves
