discuss.

Not much to discuss. More typical muslim bullshit, from what I've heard.

[Dizaster]

bullshit was the word that I would use... It's disgusting that almost an entire society is brought up with such beliefs that condone and encourage such violence... It's horrible and warped and from an outside perspective is completely ridiculous... As compassionate as I am for others, I would not be upset if Bush did one final "stupid" think with his presidency, and launched a bunch of atom bombs and warped all those Islamic extremists off the map.. They have been fighting like that in the name of god for 100's and 100's of years, and probably will for 100's more...

Ive been watching a little bit of the coverage on the BBC. I just dont understand these militants. They have killed a lot of innocent people. Remarkable job, nice one guys! Im now extremely sympathetic to your cause!

Bloody fools, the lot of them.

[Von Milash]

They don't even know what they're fighting for. Just brainwashed garbage.

Interesting if when they prove they are pakisanis. Will give India a good excuse to launch a couple of serious ones at them.Their armies hate each other border tensions and shootings across them are common.

Latest reports I heard is that some of them are British Born Pakistanis

They are just brought up to believe simply that it is of the highest possible honor and appreciation that they give the ultimate consequence (death) to anyone that is not of the Islamic religion.... If that is not the most fucked up belief that they think will lead them to any sort of enlightenment or higher being/respectability of consciousness, then I will personally convert to Islam and bomb my own country..... There is no words to explain just what a stain on humanity that the Islamic society is.. Not that the general western society is a pillar of perfection to be followed, but Islam extremists ignore absolutely everything that is good and compassionate in the world.... I cannot think of a great sin or waste of life....

And the leaders who continue to breed these beliefs will surely meet a fate that no one could possibly imagine..

I pity them.

That indian army is no pushover, they will wipe the fucking floor with the pakistans and a lot of other armys. They wont have the put up with all the fucking bullshit about those cry baby little fucks crying over the war either like the uk and us has had to deal with all the negetive yellow bastards.

Fuck me they are really taking these Murder mystery weekends to the limit these days

Al Quaida has said that they go after civilians because they pay the taxes that fund the armies that oppose them. The goal seems to be to cause political destabilization, they are nowhere near powerful enough to take on countries directly. No government in any country openly supports shit like we have seen in Mumbai, but behind the scenes I really wonder.

[Sharla]

I'm sure I don't understand this situation to any great depth so don't take this too seriously.

If i was to hypothesize though i wonder how much money actually has to do with it.

I mean I know a lot of it is about religion but Western countries are also generally wealthier than non-western countries.

Even when they attack places like Bali they pick tourism places frequented by western people.

I have been told that worldwide people are considered below the poverty line if they live in a house without a fridge.

In reality a very small proportion of the world's population actually finds itself above that poverty line.

If your background was relatively poor i can imagine that you could be easily manipulated to use religion as an excuse to vent your anger at a wealthier culture.

You might feel that in being immoral they are able to create this wealth and are somehow to blame for your own poverty.

Of course that really doesn't explain the people born in Western countries who become terrorists.

I guess there is just no way to rationalize these people and looking for some sort of logic to their actions is futile.

We had a seminar from a psychologist at uni the other day. She said one mistake people make is to assume people should be reasonable.

Some people just aren't and you just have to make rules and enforce them and changing the opinion leading to their irrational behaviour is not likely to happen.

That last bit. Therein lies the rub. And the numbers continue to grow.
