no offence blackrose, but what the hell are you talking about? over the twentieth centuary there have been 6 million jews murdered by a European, 10 milion plus slaves in Siberia by an communist athiest, an over all estimated 40 million deaths during the second world war, 4 million poeple killed by Mr Pot, 1.5 million iraqi's due to Bush Snr/Clinton/ Bush Jnr.... Where do muslims figure in all of this? And are you forgetting the deaths of prodestants/ catholics due to each other?
Do your reaserch into the middle east man! You'll see it's not to do with "hateful" poeple, it's with political oppresion, poverty, suppourt of isreal, borders formed by forigeners... Come on man! The middle east has it's issues, unfortunatly the poeple in the media estimate that Jo Public's attention span is 1.5 minutes, and so stories to get "simplified", and quite coincedently it happens to be in favour of what the media has intrests in....
You'r falling into the age old trap of believing all you hear! When during the 20th centuary did christains get persecuted by muslims? The british soldiers in Sudan?...
It's very distressing to see this mindless hysteria and see poeple giving into the herd mentality and supourting this....
"are just too preoccupied with not offending our enemies"
Where were you when the president clear as day said "our war is not with islam"?
Another misconception used to gloss over the middle east issue, is that the terrorist did what they did because they "dont agree with our life style"... Why the hell hasn't Britan, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Canda etc been attacked? The answer lies within US forign policy...
