Hey, just to elaborate a bit. Look into the whole situation in the middle east before passing judgement on their religion, take into account the massive restructuring and political manuvering that the west has done to the area,
many years before the sixties and the "decadent westerner" attitude of some fundamentalist muslims!
Most arab people do not hate western people, they hate our governments direct involvement in things like the overthrow of an elected leader in Iran in the fifties, and support of the hopelessly corrupt Saudi king.
The beheadings, Ok so a few men get ceremoniously killed in response to what many consider an invasion, it's terrible. What I would like to know is do you think it's terrible that children were killed invading Iraq by western forces? Do you think the mother of dead children appreciate that they live under a "democratic" rule?
Terrorism, all you can do is slow down terrorism, by stopping large cells from forming, and
looking into whether or not your own government is to blame for the anger of the "terrorists"!! People get all pissed off when this is pointed out, we quickly are able to justify the deaths of children when it comes to "liberating Iraq", but are angered when our own people are hurt. It's bullshit.
An ex general in the US military said a few weeks after 911, that we need to look into the reasons why these people are mad, that "One sides Boston Tea Party, is another sides act of terrorism".
You're wrong about the religious element, yes that makes for better soldiers on both sides, that arabs are mainly Muslim, and western people are mainly Christian,
but no, it really has nothing to do with 911, and the Iraqi insurgents, it's a very simple feeling that they do not in fact have control over their own politics and economy, that we in the west are in control, and they are right, we are.
That martyrdom is part of the fundamentalist movement in the muslim religion is just an added bonus for the spoiled little rich kids like Bin Ladin who want to go down in the history books.
Anyway , you should look into this a little closer before writing it off as a question of religious belief.[/quote
Wrong about the religious element? Your really killing me with that one. Im offended by that statement, an the fact that you did little research or studying at all to argue your opinion with such complete blind stupidity. Your completely whitewashed on the subject, an you have the slightest of understanding of Islam an what the Koran really says. Or the history before the so called War on Terrorism ever existence. You really do come off like generalists with the lack of supportive evidence to back your analysis of my point of view. Im going to bring up the topic "beheadings" an suggest you read this an then argue the religous element. Honestly, the information your getting isnt the same to where Im getting mine.
