You said that the terrorists were not Muslims. That's sheer nonsense. Just because they target other Muslims doesn't mean they aren't Muslims. Look at Iraq - they're constantly killing fellow Muslims they think aren't on thier side.
One Marine's View of Fighting Terrorists in Iraq (Vanity)

"Most, however, are hard core terrorists from all the usual suspects (Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas etc.) These are the guys running around murdering civilians en masse and cutting heads off."
"The insurgent tactic most frustrating is their use of civilian non-combatants as cover. They know we do all we can to avoid civilian casualties and therefore schools, hospitals and (especially) Mosques are locations where they meet, stage for attacks, cache weapons and ammo and flee to when engaged. They have absolutely no regard whatsoever for civilian casualties. They will terrorize locals and murder without hesitation anyone believed to be sympathetic to the Americans or the new Iraqi govt. Kidnapping of family members (especially children) is common to influence people they are trying to influence but cant reach, such as local govt. officials, clerics, tribal leaders, etc.)."
Examples of Muslim terrorists killing other Muslims.
I meant they are not 'real' Muslims. Just like someone going around killing in the name of Jesus isn't a 'real' Christian.
