Lets think outside of the box shall we?


I'm not a terrorist, I don't condone terrorism in anyway, I am opposed to violence and am, in all forms, a cliched peace-loving hippy.

I have spent some time surfing around these boards and have found many different topics involving terrorism. Here is a quote from one such board: "Wearing uniforms just makes them an easier target for cowardly terrorists to murder."

Where do people get off on judging all of these terroirsts on what they are doing? Hell, some of you are going to stop reading right now, but some of you will keep going wondering if I am off my rocker. Does anybody here know what is happening here? No No, please don't quote South Park and say they are angry because they have sand in their crack and can't have sex.

These terrorists have a steady and strong belief in something. A faith that they are willing to die for, a life in their religion. In the muslim religion, all non-muslims are infadels and are there to be converted, not unlike the Christian religion only there it is called a heathen. It is told to convert or kill these infadels in the name of your religion. Once again, not unlike christianity in which killing in the name of God is ok (Re: The Crusades) And do you know that, in a jihad, by killing an infadel, you are "sent to heaven where you will be greeted by 71 dark-haired virgins."

I am in no way condoning the actions of the muslim terrorists, because killing on any level is wrong. We are programed to know this from an early age, its even something already there, something universal. But if you understand that what they are doing is a modern version of what has been done and accepted over and over again perhaps you will think a second time before labeling them with cowardice and judging. Don't blame the country, blame those individuals that chose to be extremists. Hell, we have our own right here in America. We just don't call them terrorists, we call them soldiers.
