. Now I work 45 hours a week for my loving Uncle Sam to take 23% of my salary for taxes to fund a misdirected war.
Its quite sad to see what happens to people when they mix religion with ignorance... And its quite sad to see so many Ignorant responses on this thread.. Most terorist are not illiterate actually many of them are highly educated and wealth judged by worldly standards. But in a world with many traditions and different religious backgrounds we cannot expect people with monosthetic religions to openly accept strange practices.... I remember in the autobiography of the Dali Lama one of the Chinese officals told him that religion is a slow and dangerous poison that pollutes and kills the mind and the ambition of the people. He was right to a certain extent but i would put this in terms or religion with ignorance and the ability to understand that religion should be used to finding peace with oneself and his human faults and qaulities and not to subjugate others into their religious beliefs...At one point in time Islamic practitioners was looked upon as the bringers of new technology in mathematics, astronomy and nautical science , engineering and development of a fair judicial system... But then asusual islamic fundamentalism has brought not only a down fall to their own system but has blinded many young men whose talents should be used to build back their great cultural past and there future in our world. Encourage them to strap bombs to themselves for a blind cause.. It is true that there are many people who are persecuted for the belief in islam but so to are many people who are persecuted for their right to freedom of speech, sexual oreintation and also freedom of political rights... But there is no need to bring innocent lives and the destruction of the worlds fragile capatalist based economies for the benefit of your own ignorant posionus systems
the world is in flux like it was in the 1970s , would be terrorists have been encouraged by the effect of the 9/11 attacks . They are finding funding and resources . They have motive with the US invading Afganistan , Iraq , Russia invading Chechnya . The only defense against terror is alieviating poverty and educating people . Most islamic militants are illiterate and so take the word of their spiritual leaders who say Muhammed allows them to kill the Isralis for taking land . If the terrorists had jobs and productive lives they would be less of them willing to die for whatever cause they believe in .
