You are a thinker........most people are not.

They think the Tamil Tigers are a football team.

Don't know beans about those Tamil Tigers but I'm shouting huzzah, keep up the good work.

They're fanantical bloodthirsty terrorists.

The pope quotes a medieval emperor and triggers riots and murder. Meanwhile, ACTUAL MUSLIMS GET MASSACRED in their dozens and the Muslims around the world .... do nothing.

Speeaking of fact(oids), I believe that it is the Tamil Tigers that ushered suicide-bombing into the post-modern age.

Tamil Tigers suck, bigtime, too. I went to Sri Lanka and everyone I met - Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, couldn't stand them. These tiger dirtbags are pioneers in terror, pioneering the suicide bomb, the female suicide bomber all kinds of crap the Palis copied later. They are human garbage and these Muslims are innocent. But notice that when the Muslims are innocent and not hurling rocks or provoking attacks in the name of Islamofascism, none of the usual suspects of Muslimhood really care, do they?

Even a broken clock...

The Tamil tigers totally suck, they are foulness incarnate, atheist Marxist communist retrogrades, wearing che guevara berets and massacring peasants in their spare time. Every single thing they do is vile. See my post #26 or any of the other posts of knowledgeable people here, they all know the deal. The people we need to beat over the head of this are the world islamofascist movement that does not care in the slightest that these innocent Muslims are being killed if the ones doing the killing are Marxists. They only care if Americans or people aligned to the West, like India, are the ones who strike out at them. As for deaths, they don't care at all, and this massacre shows it. All that matters to them is who is doing the killing.

I guess the credit goes first to the Kamikazes....

This tactic (suicide bombing) became widely known during the Second World War in the Pacific as Allied ships were attacked by Japanese kamikaze pilots who caused maximum damage by flying their explosive-laden aircraft into military targets. Since the 1980s, the low cost and high lethality of the tactic have made it a favorite with guerrilla, insurgent, and especially terrorist groups, notably in the Middle East and Sri Lanka. The Tamil Tigers were, as of 2000, "unequivocally the most effective and brutal terrorist organization ever to utilize suicide terrorism";[

That's why I said post-modern. I think the TT were the first to do it since WWII.

You're apparently right....and perhaps I should have hilighted this:

Perhaps even they had more scruples than to target noncombatants.

The Tamil Tigers pioneered the individual suicide belt-bomber; that was their true innovation, and they've killed far more people with that tactic than any other group in the world.

Hezbollah was doing suicide truck bombings in Lebanon before the Tamil campaign begin, however.

You may be right. Here's a little history of both...

An LTTE (Tamil Tiger) ambush of a military patrol that killed 13 in 1983 is seen as the first battle of the civil war in Sri Lanka, which has yet to be resolved. In 1999, it was estimated that this conflict had already claimed 60,000 lives.

and

The group (Hezbollah) began to execute a series of operations against Israeli and U.S. targets; the U.S. forces were in Lebanon as part of a UN Peace-keeping mission, and between 1983 and 1985, elements of Hezbollah attacked the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, car-bombed the U.S. Embassy and later attacked the embassy's annex.

Go Tigers Go!

WHAT THE....!!!???

You realize the Tigers are second only to Hezbolah and the Palestinians (and were long in the lead) as the world's most prolific SUICIDE BOMBERS?

So, what? It's O.K. to CHEERLEAD terrorism if it's being done by a Hindu? Sick ....!

Reality Check Chuck.

Well let’s see now, the Tigers are not on a jihad to convert the whole world to Hinduism are they? They just want to be free on their own land. Perhaps I support their goal. Those were the same ideas that started the revolution in America and gave Texas its freedom from Mexico. A lot of people died in those wars of revolution.

On the other hand the islam cult is dedicated to world domination using conversion by the sword. In my opinion it is good thing any time the expansion of islam is thwarted.
