You said — Correct...and the last one was in Arkansas last week.

There are many instances of these single and isolated attacks that you’re referring to, in that murder in Arkansas. I think that those, too, are many times, squelched, as to a connection with Islam.

There has been a long list of those kinds that show up here on Free Republic threads, usually only being connected to Islam by FReepers alone and not in the MSM. And the government is complicit in that, to be sure.

But, when I was referring to TWA Flight 800 and the Oklahoma City bombing... that’s in a completely different categorie than these other isolated cases, although they stem from the same source of Islam.

These others that I mention, take a whole different level of coordination and planning and involvement than what goes on with these isolated attacks.

I see a lot of these isolated attacks as individuals and “rogue-types” who operate on their own and are already somewhat unstable in what they do and/or they “cracked” at a certain point and went “jihad” on their own. Islam will do that to a person..., certainly.

These other attacks (like TWA Flight 800 and the Oklahoma City bombing) are not planned by unstable people (even if some here say one is unstable for doing such things; I say that they are not unstable in doing it). They are acting in a militant and military fashion and are more akin to guerrilla warfare types.

I think those individual and isolated types of attacks are much more manageable in a society like ours, as there is often not a lot of planning and once they do it, they are caught and convicted for what they have done.

It’s the events like the Oklahoma City bombing and the TWA Flight 800 shoot-down that we have much more to be concerned about and worried about — because no one knows the full level of involvement in these things, as we do with these other individual and isolated cases.

We have our *own people* in our own country doing as much, and more, than this killer did in Arkansas. I have a family member who was in the military who was killed on the way to the store and never made it back home to his family. It was a robbery and he wasn’t found for a couple of days (this was many years ago). It’s unfortunate that our own people in this country kill others of our own people, and most of the time for stupid things, like money and drugs and silly arguments, and so on.

Now, the reason for the distinction here, even though both kinds of events kill people — is that for the purposes of Islam, one is more effective than the other. When you see the individuals and the isolated killings here and there — this doesn’t serve the purpose of Islam in “terrorism”. That’s because Americans kill more Americans, themselves, than these isolated and whacked types do.

But, when Islam engages in the paramilitary and guerrilla type warfare for these kinds of results in the Oklahoma City bombing (and I do think it’s related to Islam, McVeigh notwithstanding) and TWA Flight 800, along with 9/11 events — then you’ve got something that serves the purposes of Islam in regards to terrorism. And that’s what they want. I don’t even think the “terrorists” coming out of Islam really are concerned with these other isolated incidents — but they aren’t necessarily unhappy they happen either.

Any killing of people (whether it’s an abortionist or a baby or a soldier at home, or an unknowing civilian and/or victim) — is not to be tolerated and all of these things should be and must be punished. But, in the grand plan of terrorism, certain things are more important than others.
