Darn! You guys all beat me to it. But the only thing better than a nuke would be to crop dust the whole $hithole with plutonium. Then let them ALL go on a pilgrimage there.
George Bush tries repeatedly to reassure us about the “religion of peace”, but:
Why is the religion of peace directly responsible for 28 out of the 30 violent conflicts raging in the world today?
Why is the religion of peace responsible for the vast majority of chattel slavery in the world today?
Why is the religion of peace responsible for nearly every single act of terrorism in the 20th and 21st Centuries?
Why are the practitioners of the religion of peace routinely slaughtering unarmed practitioners of every other religion wherever they can get away with it?
Why does the religion of peace call for the murder of anyone who converts from the religion of peace to another religion?
Why do so many of the believers of the religion of peace look forward to the opportunity to copulate with 77 virgins in heaven if they die while killing innocent women and children of other religions? Is it a god they worship, or just sex? If a god, then shouldn’t heaven have more to do with him than their libidos?
Why do the leaders of the religion of peace routinely issue fatwas (death warrants) for anybody who questions their holy book of peace and their holy prophet of peace?
Why is the religion of peace responsible for the sexual mutilation of millions of little girls and the savage oppression of women?
Why did millions of the practitioners of the religion of peace laugh, cheer and dance in the street because 3,000 innocent men, women and children were murdered by seventeen men who supposedly “hijacked” the religion of peace? And why don’t the real practitioners of the religion of peace condemn the supposed “hijackers” of their religion? Why the deafening silence? Why the smiles? Why the cheers and high fives?
Hmmmm?
Perhaps I just don’t understand this whole PEACE thing. Did the definition of the word change, or is somebody just blowing a lot of smoke?
Why is the religion of peace responsible for nearly every single act of terrorism in the 20th and 21st Centuries? Taking your question seriously, and not as flame bait, I don't think that assertion is historically valid. Terrorism, as we know it, originated in the anarchist movements in Russia in the 19th c, and Russians still have a dab hand for both individual and state sponsored terror. Aside from that, terrorism in the 20th century is especially marked in the Basque and Irish nationalist struggles - both of these are predominatly Catholic. In terms of numbers of incidents, these two would lead the field. The Zionist movement in Palestine in the 1930s was unafraid to use terrorism, and most people are surprised to learn that the letter bomb was in fact invented by the Irgun. Car bombs, letter bombs and assasinations were all introduced in the Zionist struggle against the British, and previous to that were unknown to the Palestinians.
Muslims have come late, but enthusiastic, to terrorist tactics. They have been in field since the 1970s. The PLO would have to have run one of the most successful terrorist campaigns. Through the use of force they have achieved a level of recognition undreamt of in their misery days of the 1950s.
Some Middle Eastern terrorist groups - such as the Armenian 'Justice Commados' are Christians. This is a group which got tired of hearing the Turkish govt deny the genocide of their people, and decided to start offing Turkish diplomats.
