If the speeding in some way harmed someone then, yes. I'm very careful in choosing my words so I meant what I wrote and there was a reason. The acts of terrorism is usually proceeded by other criminal acts like buying the components used to make bombs, being illegal in a country, etc... Argue with that fact.

I won't argue at all with that fact, it's common sense. But now you're talking about activities that support terrorist attacks again whereas, if I answer on that basis, you tell me not to take your words out of context.

The things you say with regards to the Islamists are generally true. However your convoluted attempts to lump the entire body of world Islam in with the terrorists harm your case, as anyone capable of clear thinking and reading comprehension can see the logical holes.

If we were to accept your argument, moreover, it would greatly harm the progression of our struggle against the terrorists, as we would be handing to Osama Bin Laden on a plate the thing that he has always desired most - a war between a polarised Islamic world and Western civilisation.
