A final point for the silly people who wan to feel "so superior" to "those people".
When we have an asshole shoot up a movie theatre or a town hall or a Sihk Temple because they were too dumb to tell Muslims from Sihks, we blame the individual.
When some asshole in a foriegn country does it, it's a condemnation of their culture.
You really don't think their culture has anything to do with it?

Um, well, let's look at that.
How many people have we killed in our two decades of conflict with Iraq? Between the first Gulf War, the 10 years of embargo that caused thousands of deaths due to lack of food, medicine, water purification supplies and insecticides? Or the 8 years of war before we pulled out?
I go back to my earlier point- Bin Laden was a "Freedom Fighter" when he was killing Russians in Afghanistan, but a "Terrorist" when he was killing Americans in New York. But at the end of the day, he was just a killer.
We can also talk about how the greatest war in history was launched by Christians wearing "Gott Mit Uns" on their belt-buckles.
Muslim, Christians, and yes, I'll concede- even atheists- all have the potential to be killers if sufficiently provoked.
