Yeah its just a coincidence that all the terrorism in the world has been conducted by them.

By that logic, all white guys are pedophiles.


You would be right if all pedophiles were white guys but they arent the only pedophiles.

They all operate out of the same playbook and belong to the same cult.

...Not too familiar with the list of terrorists, where they operate, and who their targets are?

I would accept that a great deal of terrorism has been caused by Muslim extremists, but it is a quantum leap to ascribe that label to all of that faith... I could give an example but will refrain from doing so.

My point being that not all terrorists are Arabic or Muslim, and most certainly not all Arabs or Muslims are terrorists.

The depth of ignorance divulged in your statement is simply remarkable... and embarrassing.

Terrorism has been around before 9-11, it has a long history from Robespierre to Baader/Meinhoff, from the ETA Basques, the Shining path in Peru, to the IRA, there are over 200 terrorist groups active in the world today. A disproportionate number are Islamic, but they don't have a corner on the crazy and dangerous.

Really reaching here. McVey was a one off wacko 15 years ago. kaczinski was a mentally ill man - both acted by themselves and not as part of a group.

The rest are not really terrorism

Ah I see. Only when something effects you does it become real. Nothing in the wider world, nor in the past is real. The Oklahoma city bombing did not happen. No plane flew into the IRS in Texas.

" There is no reality but that which thinking makes so"

Not reaching at all. Choose your definition.

Terrorism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.
Terrorism: the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear
Terrorist: a radical who employs terror as a political weapon

I found this definition of terrorism

â€Â¢the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear

The IRS plane guy doesnt fit the definition.

I will admit McVeigh did, except his "movement" died with him, he was a one man show.

Here is a list of those who were involved, as well as the two who were charged in the Oklahoma City bombing. Deny it or not, this an act of an ongoing group that is currently active.

What's that church in Kansas that harasses funerals of military men. I would catagorize that as a terrorist activity.
 11/23/2010 09:28:38 PM · #46
A real movement there.

Again we arent being groped to get on planes to protect ourselves from them.

You asked for groups that are terrorists, you didn't qualify that it has to relate directly to air travel. Did you want to further narrow down you search terms?

That is a pretty weak metric to use to condemn every member of a faith you seem to know very little about.

Terrible what they are doing, but not a threat to anyones life or safety.
