 Revisiting this.

 TR>> Who the fuck is he kidding? Islam *IS* terrorism!

 I was listening to a BBC report on the bombing of a Christian
 church in Iraq. As the family members and other mourners
 gathered they were joined by both Sunni and Shia Muslims,
 including religious leaders. The Christians are not part of any
 dispute in Iraq, as such they are not legitimate targets in any
 way. Under Islam that attack on the Christians was Harrare.
 Which is beyond being unlawful, to being reprehensible.

 There was a bombing of a Coptic christian church in Egypt also.
 That was reported on by Al Jazeera. Here is an excerpt.

  Thousands of Egyptian Muslims Show Up as "Human Shields" to Defend
  Coptic Christians From Terorism

 Zaid Jilani | Saturday 08 January 2011

 On New Year’s Day, a devastating terrorist bombing at a Coptic
 church in Egypt killed 21 people and injured 79 others. Although
 the identity of the culprits was not known, it was assumed that
 they were Muslim extremists, intent on targeting those they saw
 as heretics. Religious tensions immediately rose in the
 country, and angry Copts stormed streets, battled with police,
 and even vandalized a nearby mosque. The riots and heightened
 tensions  between
 the Muslim and Coptic communities was likely what the terrorists
 wanted — to divide the Egyptian community and create sectarian
 strife between different religious groups.

 Yet by Coptic Christmas Eve, which took place Thursday night in
 Egypt, things had changed completely. As Egyptian Copts attended
 mass at churches across the country, “thousands” of Muslims,
 including “the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak,” joined
 them, acting as “human shields” to protect from terrorist
 attacks by extremists. The Muslims organized under the slogan
 “We either live together, or we die together,”
  inspired by Mohamed
 El-Sawy, an Egyptian artist:
 ...
 *“This is not about us and them,” said Dalia Mustafa, a
 student who attended mass at Virgin Mary Church on Maraashly.
 “We are one. This was an attack on Egypt as a whole, and I am
 standing with the Copts because the only way things will change
 in this country is if we come together.”*
