Terrorism is never acceptable. Targeting innocent people to carry out some twisted religious belief is just flat wrong, regardless of which country it happens in. I hope the Russians are very effecient at brining these people to justice.

Its unusual for stories like this to come out of Cuba. Usually, they just go unreported. It must ahve been a slow news day at AP.

"Top officials have said it is a tool of the Republican Party and Obama has singled out the network for perceived bias."
Doesn't the President represent "all Americans". Strange that he is on Fox News now because he needs Republican votes for health care.

Posted in: Yemen-American imam calls for U.S. Muslim revolt See in context
I always have a good laugh when the radical muslims call for Jihad. First, they presume that someone will listen to them, thus gives them importance. Second, they always presume they will win the Jihad. Have they ever won a Jihad?? Ever?? Allah should have a few words with these folks and set them straight.

The Jewish population in the US is a huge voting block, not only for votes, but for polictical money. US politicians do not overlook this fact when determining foreign policy.
I've come to the conclusion that the Israels and the Palestinians deserve each other. Long live the conflict!

The Catholic church is doomed. People are leaving the church in droves. The Church will need to radically reform itself to survive. Yet, nothing changes. Its a shame, the Catholic charities does a lot of good.

Why would the congress want to pass such a meaningless, stupid resolution. This was something that happened over 100 years ago! This resolution serves no purpose except to ailenate Turkey, a US ally.

"Headline: China backs diplomacy, not sanctions, on Iran

Translation: Let Iran have thier nukes.

Only in the twisted mind of a terriorist like OBL can he pretend to claim victory in a FAILED attack.
In fact, with all of the terrior attacts that he is responsible for, what has been accomplished? Nothing. He cannot show a single stretgic accomplishment except dead people. Sooner or later, even his supporters will take notice.

Clearly the common thread in radicalization is Islam. These radicals come from all countries, and all walks of life. It is very hard for me to understand how a large number of people can organize and kill others in the name of their relgion. Do they really think that this is what Allah wants them to do?

Wow, I'm really confuded by this. JT used the word "Allah" seven times in the story. Does this mean that JT should be fire bombed? Most posters above, including myself have used the word "Allah" in our posts. Does this mean we should be fire bombed also? If so, this really sucks!
Are there any muslim readers out there that can clear this up? I sure this must be a simple mistake.
