Mr.Fitnah, Madeline, boedicca,
et al,
I try not to comment on this topic, but as I keep-up, I can clearly see that both sides on this issue have static positions; branded inside their own box.
Do you know the difference between "you" and "I" or "we"?
Fine, I drew an inference you feel is unfair. You might be right. Happy?
Personally I dun know where else this hysteria CAN lead, boedicca. And I do not necessarially mean you or Mr.Fitnah...I mean the generalized anxiety about "Sharia law is coming to America" etc. If internment camps and forced deportations etc. aren't what those people want, then what?
You dont know what an apology is .
Your posts are obvious misrepresentations of what I said to deliberately diminish me and to disparage me.
Much of what America is concerned about, deals with (mostly) the "suicidal Muslim", like those that wear the vest, crash the planes, and start shooting the unarmed and defenseless; those that target what we call - the soft targets.
Much of what we think about the Muslim, as a radical and fanatical extremist is not entirely understood, by America and the opponents of radicalism. Again, the fact that the words of the moderate are not vocal and heard, let alone - the fact that they do little to nothing in the damping of the threat, often leads me to believe that they don't understand it any more than anyone else. The moderate merely says: it is unwarranted hysteria, bigotry, and unconstitutional. But it is not an answer.
Suppose we think outside the box for, in part, an explanation? Something that is helpful to both sides. Here is a theory that is a bit outside the box.

So, as I began to collect the data and as I put the data set together, that's when it also jumped out at me what was driving suicide terrorism, because what over 95 percent of all suicide terrorist attacks, around the world since 1980, have in common is not religion but a specific strategic goal: to compel a modern democracy to withdraw combat forces -- I don't mean advisors with side-arms; I mean tanks, fighter aircraft, or APCs -- from territory the terrorists view is their homeland, or prize greatly. From Lebanon, to Chechnya, to Sri Lanka, to Kashmir, to the West Bank, every suicide terrorism campaign since 1980 has had as its central objective to compel a democratic state to withdraw combat forces from territory that the terrorists prize.
As you, and many others, might believe, suicide attacks are an outcome of Islamic radical fundamentalism. But! it is not entirely. It is not entirely a false correlation.
This is an alternative thought that I would like to offer as a an alternative view. This, with my previous post, needs to be considered in concert.
I recommend that you start at about the 13 minute mark.
Most Respectfully,
R
