i havnt heard of any jewish , christian or mormon factions slaming airoplanes into building lately
if the majority of terrorist acts are commited by muslims then the muslims are going to be the first thing people think of when the word terrorist is mentioned , its not right its just unfortunate fro the good muslim people but then again i dont walk around thinking every muslim is a terrorist either
dont get me wrong , animal rights and anti abortion extreemists are pure scum as well and are no better than binladen himself in my eyes because they force their beliefs on others with intimidation and in some cases murder

Maybe it's just because I study it so I am all too aware of the different types of people tried under that Act. Just strikes me as odd that people are all FOR the terrorist act when it is capable in my views of breaching some of our fundamental rights, and generally the view is that its muslim extremists that are the targeted people of this act
I always thought it had a bit of censorship quality about it to be truthful.
I personally can't bring myself to associate islam with terrorists, even if there are a few who have flown into buildings or blown themselves up or whatever. Just seems a bit naive to me.
edit: I probably am definitely too young to remember what the IRA did. Nothing really comes to mind anyway.
