Terrorist (namely muslim) cowards

[Finn]

In 9/11, I lost a customer (Fiduciary Trust) and several great people myself and my team had worked with over the years.

Last week I got the call that a good friend had been murdered in the terrorist attack in India. He was a great man and had the most amasing life of anyone I know. His achievements were astonishing, but he just took it in his stride.

I strongly believe that religion is the root of most of the worlds evil. History taught me that. But these Muslim cowards take it too far. We'll never be able to stop them either. It's actually really scary.

RIP Andreas.

That and money, unless you have money, then its just Muslims, oh, and gays.

Yep you are dead right,what can be done...
Maybe we need a modern day crusade of sorts.
Its the targeting of innocent people that just makes it sickening for me.

I posted this in the India thread - perhaps I should have posted it here instead.

So what's the other side's story. The excuse for killing woman and children.

Sorry but there is NEVER an excuse for that but don't think it is a just Muslim thing. If you are old enough you will remember both the Christian sides in Nth Ireland blowing eachothers women and children up not to mention that American carpet bombing and napam couldn't really tell the difference between armed enemy soldiers and harmless local kids.
It has always been this way sadly, nothing new here, humans never seem to learn humanity sadly.

Sorry - I should remember I am in the company of a majority of white, middle/upperclass (with disposable incomes for toys), mainly males in a country which is historically christian, colonial and conservative....I should learn to keep my mouth shut and just ignore expressions of oppression.

Jantar as a moderator you can add childish tags too can't you?

If religion is the root of most of the world's evil, hatred based on stereotyping is the other side of the coin.

Unfortunate, Finn. I understand your loss. But if hatred begets hatred then it's a never ending cycle, isn't it?

I'd personally try to realise it's to the individuals as opposed to painting everyone with the same brush. Same as "maori dole bludgers", "white racists" and "asian drivers" issues.

[Waxxa]

I'm with you Finn. The only people that can tolerate other people of varying religions, are those who dont believe in religion.

but you try and talk religion with those that believe...wholy shit. Much anger.

Not money itself, but greed, glutony, pride and envy are certainly great motivators.

The ability to tolerate difference is something that comes with maturity - unattainable for some of us sadly.

It is almost a good comparison. While not all religious fanatics are terrorists, the overwhelming majoity of the worlds terrorists are religious fanatics, and mainly from a single religion (Islam). However it is not the same percentage of dole bludgers that are maori, there are more non white racists than there are white ones, and there are just as many non asian bad drivers as asian ones.

Hatred is valuable emotional energy. I don't hate the Muslim religion, neither do I hate the HIV virus - both require a cure. I reserve my hatred for the those who knowingly attempt to transmit these diseases to other people.

Unfortuantely the fact remains that the majority of terrorist attacks (against westerners) at the moment are by Muslims.

They (the terrorist) are cowards - they believe that women, children, civilians are all legitimate targets.

Of course when you have people like that are you are going to give the religion you are fighting for a bad name.

They want the right for their mosk (sp) etc in western countries, but its punishable by death in some Muslim countries to practice another religion. 'We' will never understand them - and they dont want to understand 'us'.

Sadly - I think that the problems will become worse and worse - and I cannot see a solution, because the fuckers are crazy.
