oh no! I wasn't saying all muslims are terrorists! of course they are not! I was talking about the fact the surveys have shown that the vast majority of fundamentalist muslims are in support of jihad 'holy wars' against infidels ie us! And there is a mosque of fundamentalists around the corner from my house in London. I would never generalise about an entire religion.

No Cara, not talking to you. I agree with the post you deleted and then SOME! I was going unload on the post that I felt was disrepectful to my country and the INNOCENT people who died on 9/11 and 7/7, and 3/11. It was not anything you or Linz wrote.
Or maybe you'r teasing me? I have no idea!

I was just teasing you!  I figured you weren't talking to me, but I wanted to make sure. I didn't mean to start any fights, I just really believe in our government, and I have huge respect for Bush and his decisions...

Sorry for the misunderstanding but I wasn't being disrespectful regarding the 9/11 incident. That was clearly a tragedy and I in no way support that kind of terrorist activity!
I simply meant that I do not agree with ANY war and that I feel sorry for the innocent people that will get blamed due to their religion - when only a few people actually carry out these atrocities.
Hope you understand.

Actually, if I remember my world history right, the conflict between the Middle East and Western Europe predates the Crusades (Saracens, anyone?). And for all I know, it predates the Saracens, too.
An interesting person to read on terrorism is David Gelernter, who survived an attack by the Unabomber. I recommend his book "Drawing Life: Surviving the Unabomber". He is, in fact, appalled by the fact that everyone cannot agree that terrorists are very bad people.
