Thats what the US Gov't would have you believe.

That seems to be the situation at present, but go back in history and you will find terrorists from a lot of different ethnic backgrounds.
Also remember, terrorist or "freedom fighter" depends on which side you are on.
The same sort of things being done in Iraq today were done by the Armenians against the Turks, the IRA against the British, the Israelis against the British, many groups against the Nazis, ditto against the Soviet Union, by the American colonists against the British, Native Americans against the United States.
Further back you see the equivalent given the technology by various groups against the Romans, Greeks. There is nothing new about "terrorism" only the players and the technology.

Kind of a broad statement. I would say that it appears that the majority of the terrorists seem to be of Mid Eastern ethcincity. To judge by Muslim is to judge like Christians, etc. I do believe that some residents of certain countries do have a desire to kill or maim those that are from a democratic society. Most of what I see now do appear to be of a certain ethcincity.

Take a short walk through history. Even recent history and you'll see your statement isn't true. Maybe recently it seems that way. But take Timothy Mc Veigh--he was Christian. What about the Irish Catholic bombers? Don't generalize without first being informed that your statement is correct. Fear and hatred is easy to spread when the "others" seem so different from you.

Have you noticed that your brain and your penis are the same size, minuscule. How soon everyone forgets that the Oklahoma bombing was done by a white man. Or all of those school shootings, or kamikaze pilots who by the way were Asian. Oh and how soon we forget the KKK who burn down churches. Go back to school.

Not all are Muslims.
There's the IRA, Tamil Tigers (and KKK?)
