I do not know who it was who gave me Karma for this post....but it is my practice to thank the givers of Karma...however, I do not know who you are so I have say 'Thank you' here. Thank you anonymous donor...much appreciated.

Just interested to ask- what is it you feel 'they' believe that isnt true.

I think if they want to die for their cause and prove a point then I'm ok with that even if it kills innocent people but it's a bit unfair of them to keep on doing it without making it clear what it is they actually want.

How are you meant to solve the problem if they don't say what the problem is? I always thought martyrs normally fought for their beliefs first and voiced it and THEN died for the cause if they were not getting the point across as successfully as they wanted to.

This new experience for british people of people trying to achieve martyrdom for no clarified reason makes it difficult for people to comprehend and solve. The problem is that its not solely a muslim thing, as the majority of them despise it aswell.

I meet a few people who say 'its a war against the whites' but how can that be true? The bombs have killed people even from the bombers own faiths, you cant make a bomb just hit one race of people, they've claimed the lives of many different races of people.

Don't know Rosebud, it is just a quote that I found somewhere.....nothing more, nothing less.
Signatures don't have to mean anything specific.....sorry for the thread wander.
And Blazey I think that last post is in the wrong thread :0

sorry Rosebud....I misinterpreted your question there. I thought you were referring to my signature......which is, very much like what you asked (not exactly...but very like it). I was referring to the belief of terrorists to be ridding the world of infidels. Anyone who is not muslim is considered to be an infidel.
And I didn't state as a fact that it wasn't true........I said 'just because they believe in something doesn't make it true'.......maybe I am splitting hairs here but I think it is different.

Thanks for the clarification Margaret.

Thats why you didn't ask the question and I did.

You are very welcome Rosebud.....as someone who thinks no question is dumb(it's only dumb not to ask if you don't know)...it wasn't a problem
