They might get more attention if they keep on roughing up Condie Rice.  lol  That woman is scary.  I dont think they knew who they were messin with.  Hehe.

As for the bombings in Egypt, werent they supposedly attributed to Palestinians protesting the whole Israel/Palestine thing (again)?  Had nothing to do with Muslims or Iraq.  At least thats what the story I read earlier today said.

Must be all those billions US is pouring into egypt. The infidel billions of the corrupt west.
 

Aid is central to Washington's relationship with Cairo. The US has provided Egypt with $1.3 billion a year in military aid since 1979, and an average of $815 million a year in economic assistance. All told, Egypt has received over $50 billion in US largesse since 1975.

Sharm el-Sheikh isn't expensive. It's cheap compared many places in the med.

My parents are both keen scuba divers and were there two months ago at the Shark's Bay Hilton. Our whole family is planning a holiday out there next September.

It just seems stupid, they are making all the wrong moves if they want public sympothy. There is valid arguments vrs the war in Iraq but bombing civilian and even muslim targets there as well as egyptian targets???????

Islamic extremists have been bombing Egyptian tourist targets for many years, although they had stopped recently.

They want to replace the Egyptian government with an Islamic one, and they believe that by ruining the tourist industry on which Egypt depends they will bring down the government.

Terrorists follow the same strategy everywhere. They seek to make areas ungovernable, and that involves attacks that make the lives of the population more miserable to encourage them to rise up against the government.

yep... gotta get the stray muslims back into the jihad fold first then you can deal with the infidels from a position of strength.

So muslins in Britain issued a fatwa. Big fat hairy deal. When they start rounding up the suspects on their own and turn them in I'll take them seriously.

< John Wayne voice here> Saying fancy words and speeches just doesn't get it done.

A bit tongue in cheeck but it is my opinion on it.

And it continues to escalate. How long before the Arabs and Muslims get sick of it?

 It will never end .
So long as man believes in the concept of Religion. It is Man made nonsense. Meant for a time long ago. the less informed embrace it, breath it, and live it because they have nothing else.

I would rather they report the suspects to the police so they can be watched, and linked to other people.

pure and simple

why do some try to figure out the "motives" of these psychos?

they hide behind their "religion" while commiting the worst of crimes against innocents.

they are rabid dogs who need to be eliminated, wiped from the face of the earth

it will just take time but the evil &hate whose head is now known as "terrorism" will fall to rightousness & love - just as many other evils in the civilized world have disappeared. but while this enlightenment takes place, we need to hunt down the dogs and put them out of their misery

i do think the same,
to die for the believes of an religion, for this people life begins
after the death. I mean, pack a bomb in a bag and go out and
kill yourself and others. How far away from reality can someone
be? <- fighting this kind of people is very difficult and it is possible
that this will go on for a very long time.

To fight them is to empower them. The key is to educate them not isolate them. When they become more educated and I dont mean (The Madrasas way either) they let go of their primitive beliefs and realize, that the concept of God is not vengfull and rightous But kind and compassionate. When they can embrace this through understanding the whole world evolves in kind.

Well, the problem with that is that while it is a noble idea, to teach, you must be able to reason, and these people will not listen to reason.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favor of mass retaliation, or wiping anyone or any place out. Far from it. While being 4F myself, I have very dear friends and relatives who serve us at the risk of their lives. I'd MUCH rather have them at home, safe, as opposed to out on the line. I just don't think you'll get anywhere trying to reason with people who are willing to die in order to kill you.

I who have not had the honor to serve my country in the armed forces. Can not speak from a stand point of experience. But being one who has studied historical conflict and have had family members who have served in Hondurus, Nicaruaga (covert) Honduras, Panama, and now Iraq. The end result is always the same needless death and suffering. You know the irony that we are all having this conversation in this forum in itself is a whole nether conversation but getting back to the point. I wish I had the abillity to convince those who believe with such conviction that their energy is misplaced and wasted. History teaches us that those who do not conform to evaloution expire from it. If the Muslims wish to make the rest of the world kneel to them. They will perish in their efforts. It is unfortunate. Because their culture based upon the teachings of the true Koran. Has so much to offer the rest of the world. The Koran teaches to be kind and compassionate to those who believe in god. I wonder how that was lost in the current interpitation of the those writings of so long ago.
