| Muslims are the main perpetrators of terrorism |
| 2004-09-16 |
| By Hal Lindsey, WorldNetDaily.com "Muslims are the main perpetrators of terrorism!" These are not my words. They are the words of Abdulrahman al-Rashed, the general manager of a leading Arabic television network — Al-Arabia. In a rare and candid self-criticism, Al-Rashed admitted, "Muslims worldwide are the main perpetrators of terrorism. [This is] a humiliating and painful truth that must be acknowledged." This was his response to the tragic carnage caused by some 35 Muslim terrorists. They seized a Russian school and held hundreds of women and children hostage while making demands for Russia to leave Chechnya and release all terrorists held prisoner. They held the terrified children in a sweltering gymnasium without food or water for three days. They wired the entire building with shrapnel infused explosives at the very beginning of the siege. The resulting carnage shocked the world. Images of terrified young survivors carried from the scene were aired on Arab TV stations. Pictures of dead and wounded children ran on front pages of Arab newspapers. Al-Rashed wrote in his daily column for the pan-Arab Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper: "Holy warriors" from the Middle East long have supported fellow Muslims fighting in Chechnya, and Russian officials said nine or 10 Arabs were among militants killed. Our terrorist sons are an end-product of our corrupted culture. |

| #10 At the current rate of terrorism, Death by terror will soon become the leading cause of death in the world. Where is the UN and the World Health organization. Is anyone keeping stats on death by terror. By the way genocide is just another form of terrorism. |

| #8 Despite the "kill 'em all, regardless" mentality of some posters, it is significant that there are muslim voices in authority (in the muslim context, that is) speaking for the average-joe nominal muslim who thinks what happened in Beslan and elsewhere is shit. It would be a shame to kill the ones who think it's shit. It would be another fucking massacre of innocents. (Afterall, they didn't do it, they don't like it, and they are calling the bad guys out.) Anyway, sure hope Abdul and the top cleric in Egypt have bodyguards. And I'm sure glad President Bush is committed to eliminating terrorists and those who perpetrate, finance, and shelter terrrorists. |

| #7 AzCat, 3 years, and I can count voices similar to this one on fingers of my hands. As I am not a god (despite my nick), I am not in a position to forgive because of 19 righteous. I am not immortal, nor are mine. If the count does not jump by at least 5 orders of magnitude fast, these 19 voice would count for nothing. |

| #6 This is a bit like Rathergate: the story isn't the story at all, the real story is the source. Granted it's one small, faltering, and tardy step but it is nonetheless one step in the right direction. Abdulrahman al-Rashed is to be congratulated for taking this stand. |

| #5 ...and the Pope is still Catholic. Works for me Zenster, but I still think it's going to take more 9/11 level tragedies for the veneer of civilisation that shields Islam to be peeled (ripped?) away. |

| #4 The free world needs to unite and attack the terrorists with all force at hand. Otherwise, we are headed for global catastrophe. There is no "otherwise" about this. "[W]e are headed for a global catastrophe." Those of us who value life must now decide if the catastrophe will be ours or belong to those who perpetrate, finance, shelter and remain silent when confronted with the evil that is terrorism. I will not allow the wolf to slink unnoticed past my door. If all Islam must perish in this cataclysmic catastrophe of their own making, so be it. Free people must ensure that the horrors of mindless violence so favored by these murderers are visited upon them instead. There is no acceptable alternative. |
