Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

syl, What is "true" terror?

I don't think you are being rational. Take for example the lunatic who slaughtered the healthcare workers in Yemen, on the 30th. Wanton murderer, "terrorist" or "freedom fighter"? This particular lunatic claimed to have acted to "cleanse his religion" and get close to Allah?.... One or more "heavenly virgins" may have been involved, but I am not sure.... Or my earlier reference to missionaries murdered by the Taliban in Afghanistan? Altho they were bringing medical and other supplies to the truly needy, they were savagely murdered because they were deemed "infidels" and the "enemy of Islam". What would you call such abject barbarism? The propaganda machine wants you to believe these people caused their own fate, vis US foreign policy. By the same logic (brutality and lawlessness) one might assume that if your neighbor did something that you considered an encroachment, you could shoot him, and it would be his fault? Where is the logic?

Do you consider the "cleansing" shooter or the Taliban barbarians "freedom fighters"? What was they rationalization behind the Kenya resort bombing? Did their victims earn their own fate? I am assuming you are Jewish or Christian (I might be wrong) but if you are either, what do you think they would do to you in these Moslem countries? Seriously? I can assure you, you would not be welcomed with open arms, but would you deserve what ever fate they deemed appropriate?
