You can blabber on and on, Freddie, but the actual fact is that there are plenty of Muslims who are killing in the name of their religion, and it seems that they don't need any excuse to do so. It's great that there are Muslims who are honest and write Letters to the Editors that the viewers if they were following these on-line news sources like Dawn.com could read. They don't try to make excuses like Freddie does. Yessiree, we have to consider the reasons behind Freddie's newly adopted brethren when they bomb innocent people. Now go back to the "Jew Watch" site, Freddie, to see if you can find anything else that you feel you can use. As an aside, years ago some university made a study of the hate sites, and "Jew Watch" was number one on their list of hate sites. It really is not surprising that someone like Freddie would know about this site. I am sure he knows plenty of the hate sites on that list which he goes through like a dog looking for a bone.However, what group is it who is mainly running around to different locations murdering innocent people (whether these people are Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and even Muslims of different sects)? You as a Muslim can drag up all the different groups you want to as having terrorists, but the fact remains that we know who are the terrorists in this world today.So many people post threads about Muslim terrorism so I simply try to show the forum, some Muslims are terrorists as are some Jews, some Christians and so on.
I do and I condemn all terrorist attacks but you also have to look at the background of many of these things.
I discount all attacks against invading foreign forces. These are not terrorist attacks but an attempt to get rid of invaders. If invading American soldiers are killed by an IED in Afghanistan - why should anyone be shocked?
I condemn all acts against civilians in Israel but I have no problem with anyone killing IDF soldiers as they're soldiers of an invading force - thus legitimate targets.
Thailand has a problem in the south but that Muslim area was gifted to Thailand against the wishes of its people. I strongly disagree with their tactics but I know why they do it.
Same goes for the Philippines. Manila tried to remove the Muslim population from the previously peaceful south so caused resentment and conflict.
Again, I disagree with the way things are done but I can understand why as the American backed, Christian government tried to wipe out Islam.
Any and all attacks against US forces are acceptable as no war is restricted to the front lines and America has attacked many countries. Add to that, attacking enemy supply lines is an accepted tactic and America supplies Israel.
That, in my opinion, does not justify attacks on civilians, even when American and Israeli forces do it.
Now we come to crackpot extremists who attack markets and mosques.
That lot are nothing short of idiots. There is a small percentage of Muslims who think they'll sit with the almighty if they bomb a market place but they're idiots.
Suicide and murder are both major sins so the bomber of pretty well fucked.
Then consider the reasons behind the bombings.
Most are designed to destabilise a government so the greedy, power mad bastards can take over and roll in cash and power.
Other groups, the FPI in Indonesia comes to mind, are less extremist Muslims guided by the Prophet; more greedy bastards aiming to make a profit.
You have look closely at what they do or, more to the point, what they don't do.
They don't attack anyone who pays protection money but do defend people who pay their rentamob to turn up.
The same goes for the Taliban - Asia's biggest drug cartel.
When you talk about Muslim terrorists - you really have to see what drives them.
