You state:
> In fact we can try the brewers of beer and wine and liquor for terrorism for all these deaths since their enticing adds make all those drunk drivers want to drink more, right??

For one thing drunks do not intentionally drink in order to kill. While terrorists and those who commit crimes purely based on their hatred of others do kill on purpose and by design.

Your analogy is laughable at best and sad at worst. Trying to justify what Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson have said immediately after the terrorist attacks is indeed sad. Pay attention to what these 2 have said: washingtonpost.com

You state:
> Why do you associate the name Jews with homosexuals in your post?? Being a Jew is a heritage...being a homosexual is a chosen lifestyle. Very different.

There was no intention to associate the name jews with gays and lesbians in a manner you are trying very hard to imply. Simply wanted to make a point that (whether it is by heritage, or by a chosen lifestyle) we - as individuals - are different from one another. As long as what we do does not harm others no one has the right to judge someone else based on their "heritage" or chosen lifestyle.

I repeat, Khomeini did not personally hijack an airplace or blew up a building. However he did inspire others to do so. Jerry Falwell, and Pat Robertson are no different than what he did. :)

"being a homosexual is a chosen lifestyle."

Did you choose to be gay?
