TheAnvil 0 #26 September 8, 2004 Actually, I hadn't heard of it. You've given one example. Do I need to compare it with the dozens from the Middle East? You and this crozby fellow seem intent on nit-picking Mr. Prager's argument to death. You might be able to find a few homicide bombings carried out by non-Muslims and such, but they take nothing away from his theme and make the questions he asks no less relevant. Oh - my dear Kallend, I face facts quite easily, as always. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

TheAnvil 0 #28 September 9, 2004 Nope. Give us a listing please if you're so interested. Include which were done by homicide bombers and which were merely planted so we can take a look at the #'s.

Makes sense now. Either way I don't really see how blowing yourself up makes it worse than just blowing innocent people up.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

kiltboy 0 #30 September 9, 2004 So I take it the issue is that the muslim community isn't outraged enough by what happened in Russia? I know little of the Islamic religion and it's different branches but it seems that it is the extremists that are resorting to terrorism and not the mainstream (I believe that there are extremists in all religions). I think the mainstream muslim community is outraged but I feel they are scared to voice that opinion because of the current political climate that is painting all muslims with the same brush as the extremists. just my 2 cents. As for suicide bombers, well that's due to religion and the promise of direct entry to paradise with martyrdom. Some other terrorists will die for their cause but it's a lot easier to convince someone to become a suicide bomber with the promise of heaven/paradise than it is to persuade someone to do it for a cause. Self preservation and wanting to survive to see victory etc. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
