Some people seem to think that "all terrorists are Muslims". I understand if these statements come from kids who are too young to know better but the Oklahoma City bombing wasn't that long ago and had nothing to do with Arab extremists. Why can't we look at the bigger picture instead of just resorting to labeling and hating?

A terrorist is someone who installes fear in the everyday lives of someone else. Race, gender, and religion have nothing to do with it.

Been through Oklahoma City within the past year. Visited the memorial and museum, more than one day. Beautifully done.
In fact I was on the phone doing business with a person in Oklahoma City when the blast took place.
Point is, the vast majority of terrorist nowadays are of the foreign breed and not domestic.
Me Vee was a pain for the country. What we are facing now is a threat to the western civilization.
No one has forgotten McVey. Just trying to keep it in a healthy perspective.

Almost all the terrorist attacks made throughout the mid 1900's to now were made by Muslims. Period. Timothy McVeigh is ONE person, that was ONE attack. Muslim terrorists have committed so much more terrorist attacks than any other race. Especially recently, there are many, many terrorists that are Arab extremists--and that's the truth. It's a fact, lady. It's not racial profiling when almost all the terrorist attacks are committed by Muslims.

Wake up normal1, it is our government that is scaring the hell out of everyone. At least they are scaring the hell out of me. you want to know what is worse though, people like you that believe all of the rhetoric and lies fed to you because it makes you feel good. Yes there are radical muslims out there that are bent on destroying America, but did you ever wonder why? How many people have been killed because they didn't worship Jesus. Who by the way was a rabbi/prophet/teacher and should not be worshiped anyway. The current war in Lebanon has nothing to do with terrorists. Like it or not there were elections in that country a few short months ago and guess who won. Hezzbollah is the ruling party in Lebanon. That is not the party that the Israeli and American government wanted to win. Too bad. You say you want democracy but you only want it when you get what you want. That is not democracy.

Well, the Unibomber was a serial killer. Timothy McVeigh was a domestic terrorist. The IRA were domestic terrorists. All international terrorists are Muslim. I wish that weren't the case as Muslims are great people. However, only people with a limited understanding of the English language would think All Muslims are terrorists, just because terrorists are Muslim.

Yep, McVeigh is dead and the unibomber is in prison for life, not all Muslims are terrorist, but all terrorists are Muslims or so it seems. What is the bigger picture, all infidels must die because they don't believe the same things you do. I'll pray for you!!!

I have heard of both - they are caught and dealt with and not part of the big picture anymore - 9/11 made McVeigh look like a rank amateur. Muslim Jihadists want to eliminate you and your way of life from the planet. That is the current big pic. As of yesterday you can't take toothpaste on an airliner with you. Think you'll be able to wear your current clothes if they take over? Will you be able to watch TV? Go to a club? Its about us being different than them. Its about our personal liberty. They are scaring the hell out of people and we don't realize it yet.

Ok, this is why...statistics. You quote 2 American terrorists, but there are countless Abduls, Mohammeds, Achkmeds and Abbooos, that far outweigh the number of Arabs. You fear the 1% of domestic terrorists, I'll fear the major 99% arab terrorists.

I agree. Don't forget the members of The Order, though.
Timothy McVeigh, the Unabomber, Eric Rudolph, the Order, it all keeps piling up...
