Why do we feel like we have to constantly apologise for terrorism? Haven't we explained that Islam as a religion doesn't condone it? In fact expressly forbids it? When we allow these people to make us feel like we have to "prove our innocence" as it were, we are kept on the defensive. I for one am tired of apologising. I WILL NOT be drawn into anymore conversations regarding it. And furthermore, I do not know what is like to live in a country who is economically, politaclly, and theisticall oppressed by the U.S. and/or Israel, so I cannot really say what goes on in peoples minds if and when they commit acts that are considered terroristic. People will react, sometimes violently, when they are constantly pushed, poked and prodded. When people live under constant threat and worry, they can do irrational things. When people feel hopelessly oppressed, and they feel they have no other options, they will react in ways we cannot fathom. How can I sit here and condemn them when I have no idea
