Lots of muslims in the Khmer Rouge (Cambodia), or FPMR (Chile), or National Liberation Army (Columbia), or FARC (Columbia), or Autodenfensas Unidas de Columbia (Columbia), or Zviadists (Georgia), or Revolutionary Nuclei (Greece), or Revolutionary 17 (Greece), or Revolutionary People's Army (Greece), or Morzanist Patriotic Front (Honduras), or Kach (Israel), or Kahane Chai (Israel) (both financed by the United States and European interests BTW), or Aum (Japan) or Chakaku-ha (Japan), or Japan Red Army (Japan), or CIRA (Ireland), or IRA (Ireland), or LVF (Ireland), or Orange Volunteer (Ireland), or RHD (Ireland), or Shining Path (Peru), or MRTA (Peru), or ABB (Phillippines), or NPA (Phillippines), or ALIR (Rwanda), or RUF (Sierra Leone), or ETA (Spain), or GRAPO (Spain)?
Come on Cow, terrorism is an international problem affecting many countries. The focus on the middle east is a media creation. There are terror organizations active in North America for crying outloud. Many gangs, militias and fringe political movements are much better organized, have more members and do much more damage to the country and infrastructure than these much more publicized organizations. If the media picked up on half the crap that goes on in the country, but defined as "violent crime", they would realize that there are terrorist organizations dotting our landscape as well. But we are lead to believe that only those who bow to the east to pray five times a day are capable of being terrorists. Have we become this blind?
