there you go again comparing shit that cannot be compared.IRA terrorism was political - never did they ascribe theirmission to Catholicism. Shit, in their earlier days they were attacking Catholics.So we call them what they were and what they were about: political terrorists.They had political motives, and used force and destruction to get their way.Is it any coincidence there have been Muslim separatists Thailand (I useMuslim separatists because the basis for trying to succeed is based on theirIslamic faith) blowing all kinds of shit up? Or all kinds of shit going on in Indonesia, with the exclamation point being the Jakarta bombing in '03 and on Baliin '02. Or Malaysia? Or just all that shit that has been going on by littlefactions and the big jemaah islamiyah? I'm thinking we cannot make anyassumption based on religion here because of the "facts" youprovided. Wait, what were your facts? You didn't provide shit. Just a bunch ofegotistical, and nonsensical, bullshit.What about in India? You could prescribe a lot ofthe violence to the dispute over Kashmir, but mostof the big acts were not. Mumbai (twice), Jaipur, Ahmehabad...Western China has itsinstances of groups using attacks for separation by way of Islamic catalyst. Xinjiangprovince has had its share of shit for about two decades. But I'm sure youlearned that in your vastly superior Canadian education. Or did you read thatone book?Turkey - Istanbul bombings, fourof them. You have some issues with the Kurds, so there is some ambiguity as towho did them (except the '03 bombings).Israel -no need to provide an exhaustive list of the shit going down in the Levant. People get caught up in "Palestinian conflict"but the fact remains, they're have been innumerous terrorist attacks. Andessentially all come as an Islamic reprimand against Israel. Shit, they've had nearly1,000 Palestinian bombers alone over the past two decades. That doesn't includethe myriad of others from other groups, or larger attacks of the non-suicidalbomber variety.Egypt- holy fuck. That has been going on much longer than you or I have been alive.Basically all are some holy fight, attacking Westerners, Western"sympathizers," Western interests, Christians, or just people to geta death toll. Massacre at the Temple of Hatshepsut. '04 bombing at resorts on the Sinai. -'05 bombing in resorty Sharm el-Sheikh. Bombing less than a monthago at a church. Not indicative of anything Islamic.Lybia - well, you know, those Libyans are all peacefulnowadays unlike back in the day when the game was fierce, so we can't includethem.
al-Megrahi not getting a hero's welcome at all.Madridin 2004. Was it the Basques? They usually claim their shit, so probably not. London in 2005?Black September was aight. But Islam had nothing to do withtheir motives. Oh wait a second...The barracks bombing in '83, Tyrebombings in '83 and '84, in Beirutwould suggest... Buddhist militants? Nah. Hezbollah?Bombings at US Embassies in Kenyaand Tanzaniain 1998. Who was responsible?The list just seems to go on.2000 could have seen some "fireworks" in LA ifRessam wasn't caught here in Washington.How about that guy in Times Square earlierthis year with that botched car bomb? That kid in Oregon? Been to Copenhagen recently?How about the other innumerable foiled plots that could makeany list nearly double? That doesn't mean shit, right? They must just be randomacts by a few radicals. Nothing hints to Islam here. That, or the one world governmentcreated them to scare people.
