As I said quite a few times before (and I am not the only one) 9/11 was not a "Kill all Christians" thing. It was a "Get back at America for all their meddling in our affairs and hurting our Muslim brothers" thing.

Before you nuke me: Do I agree with this? No.

Re that link you have pasted, I replied to it.

perhaps you could come up with reasons why the moslems are attacking in....China, India, Russia, Indonesia,arab countries, USA

Russia - Chechens want their own country and their own state and the struggle there has been going on for a long while, although I suspect you noticed it when they recently took people hostage in Moscow. It is a gross simplification of the situation to say "Muslims are attacking in Russia".

USA - See above.

China - What terrorist attack in China?

I believe you are referring to the sporadic clashes between marginal groups in the rest of the countries you are referring to.

Trust me, I do not love terrorism any more than you do. However, your attempts at pinning all the world's wrong on the religion Islam that has been around for quite a few hundred years will not work.

What about the other terrorist attacks elsewhere? Ever heard of PKK, ETA, and IRA? Was their struggle religious?

Why are there no attacks on the Vatican? That's as Christian as it gets, imho. How about other countries in Europe with Christian majorities?
