One mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. McVeigh and the IRA were terrorists.

Hatred has no logic.

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...pathology-hate


[quote] Haters rarely hate alone. They feel compelled, almost driven, to entreat others to hate as they do. Peer validation bolsters a sense of self-worth and, at the same time, prevents introspection, which reveals personal insecurities. Individuals who are otherwise ineffective become empowered when they join groups, which also provide anonymity and diminished accountability.[end quote]

There is only one difference that should be given thought that there are radical people and more common sense people. As for radical Islam....You would have to re-edit the Koran in order to ensure that radical people don't latch on to radical ways of thinking through a book that suggests killing those who do not submit to the book in every literal way. An intelligent Muslim like an intelligent Christian is going to question what is written...The huge problem here is that radicals or fundamentalists have this notion that the Bible and the Koran is the direct untainted message from God himself. Human hand no matter how inspired created these ancient manuscripts...and no Human in history, truly and fully understood the unimaginable will of GOD...

I came to the conclusion after some study and in a sense a revelation came upon me..."The truth has always been within you - search no more in this book" All human beings are granted the mind of God to a degree...and all know what is right and what is wrong. That is GOD's true gift...not a book.

Excuse me? I lived in London while the violent arm of the IRA were active and I can assure you, they were very much terrorists.

Regardless of your views on their political aims, they blew up innocent people just the same. And many Americans supported it. Not so cool when it comes to you, is it?

What a friggin hypocritical LOAD.

So your definition is the correct one? I think not. Your definition will get more Americans killed.

there is an argument that the USA should get out of other countries Afghanistan and SA to name a few, but so should the English get out of Ireland and there would not be any problems would there.
