The question is simple and answer is simple but it doesn't fit into your view of world and your mission to spread hate against Muslims so you simply refuse to answer it. Only blind can't see what are you doing and why are you doing it.
I was thinking specifically of Osama Bin Laden operating near the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. He needed supporters from muslim locals in that region to move freely and stay hidden.
The blind sheik was convicted and is locked up in Butner Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bomb plot and plans to blow up the United Nations and the Lincoln Tunnel in New York The tribal areas of Pakistan are a hot bed of extremisim.
My Lai Massacre The My Lai Massacre (pronunciation (help·info), approximately [mi.˧˩˥'lÉËj˧˧]) (Vietnamese: thảm sát Mỹ Lai) was the mass murder of 347 to 504 unarmed citizens of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), almost entirely civilians and the majority of them women and children, conducted by U.S. Army forces on March 16, 1968. Some of the victims were sexually abused, beaten, tortured, or maimed, and some of the dead bodies were mutilated.[1] The massacre took place in the hamlets of Mỹ Lai and My Khe of SÆ¡n Mỹ village during the Vietnam War.[2][3] The incident prompted widespread outrage around the world. The massacre also reduced U.S. support at home for the Vietnam War, an effect that was sustained by the ensuing trials of several U.S. servicemen for their crimes, most famously that of William Calley. Three U.S. servicemen were later honored for their efforts to halt the massacre and protect the wounded.[4] The massacre is also known as the SÆ¡n Mỹ Massacre (Vietnamese: thảm sát SÆ¡n Mỹ) or sometimes as the Song My Massacre.[5] The U.S. military codeword for the hamlet was Pinkville, another name by which the massacre is known.[6] New York is worst than those tribal areas.
Trying to change the subject? Al Qaeda genocide against the Yazidi in Northern Iraq. Truck bombings killed at least 500. The attacks, targeting Kurdish villages of the Yazidi religious minority, were attempts to "break the will" of the American people and show that the U.S. troop escalation -- the "surge" -- is failing, Maj. Gen. Benjamin Mixon said. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/08/15/iraq.main/index.html
moving freely and stay hidden do not match unless if the area was so small like a cave, you are actually blaming the Muslim people in the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan there for not catching OBL:
"The Pakistani Taliban" has effectively seized control of the Pakistans northern tribal areas. "The Pakistani Taliban" are allied with al-Qaida fighters. Al-Qaida has blended into the tribal structures, buying loyalties and marrying local women.
If you need a reason to launch war against Pakistan, then will be much better to use the weapons of mass destruction
this is th same situation as we had in iraq. we already know what works in situations like that. why are we not implementing the same plan.
O.K. What do you think about the Blind Skiek's involvement in the 1993 world trade bombing and plot to blow up the UN, Lincoln Tunnels and other sites in NY? Do you think that Islamic terrorism can cause negative perceptions of muslims?
being a minority in a country, anything may cause negative perceptions, like jobs for example, but.. before I continue, I need to understand, why do you call it Islamic terrorism?
terrorists are called terrorists, but you used the term "Islamic terrorists" thats what I was asking, for example, why not by their nationalities?
anyway, what I meant, I think the use of the term Islamic terrorism, is not accurate, because this may create a general thinking in some minds that Islam = terrorism, take for example Eric Robert Rudolph case, some might call him Christian Terrorist, even thou the term is not widely used in this case, then think about the good Christians who are against such actions like Rudolph did, how might they feel when they hear "Christian Terrorist!" as for you question "O.K. What do you think about the Blind Skiek's involvement in the 1993 world trade bombing and plot to blow up the UN, Lincoln Tunnels and other sites in NY? Do you think that Islamic terrorism can cause negative perceptions of muslims?" I think if he was involved, he should be punished, of course since he is a Muslim it will cause negative perceptions of Muslims there in USA, but will this be something good to do?
I don't like the phrase either, just call them terrorists. Labeling a religion in front of the word terrorist is quite unfair to the religion. BTW when they were of use to USA they were called freedom fighters......
