All major faiths have people who commit, or have committed atrocities in the name of their religion. But no faith should be held responsible for the crimes of a few individuals. It seems Dennis Prager (Dennis Prager's nationally syndicated radio show is heard daily in Los Angeles on KRLA-AM (870). He may be contacted through his website: www.dennisprager.com.) believes that any act by Muslims should be blamed on Islam. Just as we do not blame the Crusades or the Israeli atrocities on the faiths of Christianity and Judaism, we ask others to offer the same respect for our faith.
Robert Pape in his book, "Dying to Win - The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism," shows that between 1982 and 1986, 71 percent of the Lebanese suicide attackers were Christians and 21 percent Communists/Socialists. Pape states, "Of the 384 attackers for whom we have data, 166 or 43 percent were religious, while 218 or 57 percent were secular. Suicide terrorism is not overwhelmingly a religious phenomenon." It is a response to occupation.
Inquiring minds might also consider the suicide bombings carried out by non-Muslim groups such as the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, the religious orientation of the abortion clinic bomber or the depredations of Serbian forces during the Bosnian conflict.
Quoting Robert Pape, "The world's leading practitioners of suicide terrorism are the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka - a secular, Marxist-Lennist group drawn from Hindu families."

Thats funny - Im more afraid of Bush than I am of any terrorists......
The very definition of terrorism is the "threat or use of force to sway another person's viewpoint towards your own." Telling Americans they are in constant danger, and that the "battle for civilization rests in the streets of Baghdad" is surely terrorism at its finest and highest use. Why? Because it is so subtle, the people dont even see him using against them.

They r only defending themselves from imperialist who r tryin 2 impose 'western thought' on their home land. Wouldn't u react aggressively if someone tries 2 intrude in your beliefs 2 forcefully change your reality. We don't know what Bush & his puppets r up 2 cause they show us what they want us to c cause they control the media, they want us to c Muslims as terrorist, so we can be on his side (Bush), c them as evil terrorists. Your question is aready subjective, they got u were they want u.

I even have dissimilar fabric in my data that shows that as quickly as Muslims circulate in and enhance, and that they actually do this promptly, greater promptly than different communities, the prevalent of life is going down. it is documented. there is an editorial on line on the subject of the 25 WORST countries to stay in, and 15 of those are Muslim....says some thing. Their perception device on the same time as blended, on the same time as one verse sounds one way, and the different, any incorrect way, shows it is of the same opinion with violence. Even your question replaced into no longer trustworthy, replaced into it. It replaced right into a lie.

Is this in response to us invading them, or because of the numerous regime changes we've imposed on them?
