RE:Terrorists have no religion

Hi all
Some good comments going back and forth here, just had to chip in with one of my
own. I personally think that all the 'terrorism' hype is way overdone and is
unfortunately used by some people as just a way to excuse growing racism and
religious intollerance.
The acts of terrorism that have happened over the past few years are terrible and I
agree that it must be stopped. But in taking steps to stop it, we must be careful
to make the world a better place, and not a police state full of paranoid people.
There are good people in all cultures and of all beliefs. Just as there are insane
people in all cultures and religions - I'm sure that for each crazy Muslim there is
a crazy Hindu or Christian fundamentalist. We need to protect our homes, our
families from the crazies, but we should be very careful about putting a label on
anyone because of their race or religion. It makes me a little sad to see the world
become more paranoid - and some of the basic freedoms that we all grew up with
slowly disappearing to 'help with the war on terror'.
Basically, crazies of all colours and religions should be stopped - and let's just
call them what they are, criminals. We should never allow ourselves to say that all
Muslims are evil, or all Christians are bad (or all Jews, or all whites, blacks,
etc...)
Terror is wrong, it should be stopped. But, the only real way to stop it, at least
at a wide level, is to
