Comments on: Other-Than-Muslim Terrorism — UPDATED http://xrdarabia.org/2008/11/24/other-than-muslim-terrorism/ Informed comment and commentary about Saudi Arabia, reform, and its relations with the US Wed, 23 May 2012 23:26:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: John Burgess http://xrdarabia.org/2008/11/24/other-than-muslim-terrorism/comment-page-1/#comment-17081 John Burgess Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:48:56 +0000 http://xrdarabia.org/?p=6077#comment-17081 I think the point, beyond merely pointing to other bad guys, might be to show that the religion/politics mix is generally bad. Too many, over too much of human history, have found the mix to be a perfectly adequate rationale for killing the other guy. Whatever the real reason--jealousy, greed, fear, etc.--once 'God told me to do it' or 'God told me it was okay' comes into play, then everybody loses.

People with a mix of political and religious hate will intentionally target and kill other innocent people for their own gain. It's to be stopped. But, if the Saudi Gazette or Reuters wants to transfer attention to other non-Muslim terror groups then it won't last long. Muslim extremists are active and numerous. They kill in Allah's name daily. This news can't be hidden. Sure it’s true. People with a mix of political and religious hate will intentionally target and kill other innocent people for their own gain. It’s to be stopped.
