Jeff Jacoby has a great article up reminding us why any attempt to pin the responsibility for terrorist acts performed by one of us infidels on the infidel communities at large is completely invalid.
«Israel and its supporters complain with reason that Arab terrorism against Jews is too often shrugged off or excused by Arab and Muslim leaders, or that a murderous attack will be condemned in English for international consumption, while the government-run local media extols the killers in Arabic. But when the terrorists themselves are Jews -- admittedly a rare event -- do Israel's defenders live up to the standard they expect of others? How many of the statements quoted above, for example, would leading Israelis have been willing to make?
All of them.»
Perhaps when we see the Muslim world at large condemning terrorism wholly and without being coerced into it people will believe them. Until such a time, I really don't see that happening.
While I am here, I would love to hear from anyone who can justify the Rebel Alliance's actions in Star Wars. I really can't find a plausible, movie-based-canon reason to back the Rebellion over the Empire. Does anyone feel up to the challenge?
