another terrorist post

if you know me at all i stay out of the whole war thing and political thing pretty well. it has gotten to me more as of late. it gets to me that these people think they are holy, even in the slightest. the latest is that they booby trapped two mentally disabled women and detonated the bomb remotely in a popular street market (aka - not soldiers, but most likely Muslim brothers and sisters).
More found here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7221639.stm

perhaps in 50 years or so Islam will be as non-cool as Christianity is currently. we have the crusades and abortion clinic bombings to thank in part of our "extremist" identity. they make our crazy Christian nut brothers/sisters look like humble, pacifist Hindus.

Careful, you're showing cracks in your pacifism.

When a religion or philosophy does not subscribe to the inherent dignity (sanctity) of all human life, this is what happens. Women are worth less than men, and mentally disabled women are worth still less. Even less valuable than mentally disabled women are adherents of of the sect that isn't yours (in this case, the Shiites). And at the bottom of the scale is the infidel - that would be you and me.
