SofaSpud....."Is it Islamic extremism? Or is it disaffected kids, who have always been part of our society, but who now think that suicide bombing is to 2006 what outhouse tipping was to 1936?".....

Sofa...IMO it is islam extremism.... if there were different
religions involved I would agree it could just be as you suggested...."disaffected kids ".... but wherever in the world this kind of thing is happening it is always radical islam and brain washed young people who believe they will go to some paradise for murdering innocent people.

Some years ago but in recent memory 2 or 3 hundred people of a religious sect in a small country in South America committed mass suicide believing the stupidity preached by their crazed leader " jim jones ".

Religion can be a most powerful weapon as the perpetrators actually believe they are doing the right thing just a strongly as I believe they are crazed and wrong.

So now I wonder how many millions upon millions of tax dollars will be spent on defending these vermin.

...."My parents, as young people in rural communities in the 1930s, acted out by moving outhouses and such. We've all seen how youth protest has escalated, up to deaths in demonstrations at WTO conferences."......

Just my opinion but the moving outhouses thing I believe was done because youth thought it was funny... Mass murder by radical religious youths of today in no way is the same thing.

And I don't believe these young people arrested in Toronto are disaffected youth who feel left out of society as many of them were in universities and some grads. I believe they firmly believe that they must force change in the society in which they live to their outdated beliefs in their religion and they will go to any lengths to achieve their goals...even mass murder of innocent people. We need only to look around the world to see the same thing happening in so many countries.
