Well, they weren’t all doctors, but I certainly share your outrage. I wish this insanity would end soon. ---

**If** , in fact, it is found that the terrorist responsible for this claims that he did it for the glory of Islam, I’m certain that there will be condemnations of these atrocities by **all** major Muslim leaders throughout the World, and a reaffirmation that _these acts of terror and violence against innocents must stop now_. And that all true believers in the Religion of Peace will do all possible to prevent these acts from occuring again. Or, maybe once again there will only be the Silence. Silence which is not explicit approval, but is certainly not explicit disapproval. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. It’s far too early to jump to conclusions. ---

Calling these “people” animals/pigs is insulting to animals. You don’t see animals killing other animals over religious fanaticism. No, these terrorists are sub-human turds. ---

It was an horrific, and monstrous act. Still, you’ve got to ask yourself why this has only started happening in the last few years. ---

I think perhaps you wil need to define “few” as used in the above sentence. ---

So, it’s all the fault of the Gulf War that Muslim extremists are killing innocent people in the Mideast? Like it never, ever happened before the Gulf War? And if Bush Senior had just minded his own business ten years ago, we wouldn’t be having this problem? Gee, Rider, that’s marvelously insightful, maybe you should contact the State Department or something, let them in on it. :rolleyes: ---

I just said “ask yourself why”. there’s no need for a knee-jerking over-reaction of this kind. I didn’t say I had the answer. Thank you. ---

“Last few decades” is more like it. The 1972 Olympics massacre was clearly meant to garner as much public attention as possible, and it wasn’t even the first extremist attack on civilians.
