Good timeline of the evil done around the world. Some things like USS Cole are missing, but overall great picture of the "Religion Of Peace".

They also forgot a machine-gun attack on German and Japanese tourists in Egypt. I think it was at the Temple of Hatshepsut, and that 50+ were murdered.

I noticed that, too. But, they're just Jews - they don't count.

Even a casual peep at the instances mentioned will tell you that,even in these times of gory carnage, political correctness will play a big role.So you will find virtually no mention of atrocities in Russia,Israel,India or Sudan(were Christians & black africans are cannon fodder)-all such countries have lost countless number of citizens more than Western nations.I don't see any mention of the Nentanya massacre,Beslan,attack on the Jammu & Kashmir legislative assembly on this truly pathetic list.
