But no, there is an expectation that these people should be rational, and that it's okay for non Westerners to be less rational because, hey, what can you expect?



I was wondering when you'd bring up this idiocy. "Anyone who disagrees with me is brainwashed and unsophisticated! I know this because they voted in a way with which I disagree and they won't accept my word as gospel!"

That's just insulting and it's not even a real argument. Do you really think that will change someone's mind? Nice baiting there.

We are talking about "terrorism" here not discrimination. Thats something else. If you want to go down that path... we can share info who who is discriminated against and where.

You said "The Islamists are targetting western targets" well am sorry but they dont represent Islam or Muslims around the world. To say that 11 attackers or so represent 1.5 billion Muslims is ridiculous.

If you work your mind in an intelligent manner you will realise that it is these countries (using their armies) waging war on Muslims.... starting with America, Israel and India. Which Muslim country has attacked a western country? Please provide evidence so we can take this argument further.

Who is dying is larger numbers? Who has killed over a million Muslim in the last 8 years or so? Who has killed over a 1000 Muslims in Lebanon? Who has killed 100s of Muslims in Kashmir?

I will say it again, when sht like this happens.... expect that a few go out of their mind and wanna blow stuff up. Not that I agree with this type of reaction.... I would definately agree if it is an organised resistance movement such as the one in Iraq targetting SOLDIERS NOT CIVILIANS. I never supported and will never support the killing of civilians.
