Revisiting this.
Who the fuck is he kidding? Islam *IS* terrorism!
I was listening to a BBC report on the bombing of a Christian
church in Iraq. As the family members and other mourners
gathered they were joined by both Sunni and Shia Muslims,
including religious leaders. The Christians are not part of any
dispute in Iraq, as such they are not legitimate targets in any
way. Under Islam that attack on the Christians was Harrare.
Which is beyond being unlawful, to being reprehensible.
There was a bombing of a Coptic christian church in Egypt also.
That was reported on by Al Jazeera. Here is an excerpt.

Thousands of Egyptian Muslims Show Up as "Human Shields" to Defend
Coptic Christians From Terorism
Zaid Jilani | Saturday 08 January 2011
On New YearΓÇÖs Day, a devastating terrorist bombing at a Coptic
church in Egypt killed 21 people and injured 79 others. Although
the identity of the culprits was not known, it was assumed that
they were Muslim extremists, intent on targeting those they saw
as heretics. Religious tensions immediately rose in the
country, and angry Copts stormed streets, battled with police,
and even vandalized a nearby mosque. The riots and heightened
tensions <

the Muslim and Coptic communities was likely what the terrorists
wanted ΓÇö to divide the Egyptian community and create sectarian
strife between different religious groups.
Yet by Coptic Christmas Eve, which took place Thursday night in
Egypt, things had changed completely. As Egyptian Copts attended
mass at churches across the country, ΓÇ£thousandsΓÇ¥ of Muslims,
including ΓÇ£the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak,ΓÇ¥ joined
them, acting as ΓÇ£human shieldsΓÇ¥ to protect from terrorist
attacks by extremists. The Muslims organized under the slogan
ΓÇ£We either live together, or we die together,ΓÇ¥
<
http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/3365.aspx> inspired by Mohamed
El-Sawy, an Egyptian artist:
...
*ΓÇ£This is not about us and them,ΓÇ¥ said Dalia Mustafa, a
student who attended mass at Virgin Mary Church on Maraashly.
ΓÇ£We are one. This was an attack on Egypt as a whole, and I am
standing with the Copts because the only way things will change
in this country is if we come together.ΓÇ¥*
