More excuses? More of the sam ole PC crap about how, "every religion has it's nutjobs"?
No excuses, just reality, much as I wish it were not so. Do you think anyone likes the fact that there are terrorists around? You act as if you're the only one who cares. You couldn't be more wrong. I wish they would all disappear, the religious and the secular alike. I want the Islamists gone as much as I want ETA gone once and for all. Unfortunately, I've long lost the hope that it will ever happen. We'll get rid of one group and another one will pop up. You know why? Because what they do ****ing works. It has been working for centuries and it will keep on working for a long time to come. Making people scared will never go out of style.
The reason we can't get rid of them is the same reason why we can't get rid of inner-city type gangs, the various Mafias and mobs and violent organized crime in general. They all use terror very effectively and there is nothing we've been able to do about it so far, other than to take out one or two localized cells here and there.
But, hey you keep right on dreaming. I hear all the crap is a lot easier to bear that way.
