Why do they kill? I would have to say I seriously doubt that most of the current crop of terrorists know. They have been indoctrinated in ways that fairly closely match those depicted in the movie “The Manchurian Candidate.” The orginal black and white one. If you have seen the program on the investigation into the techniques used by one of the recruiters, and understood what was shown, you would know that they are using reasonably advanced methods of, for want of a better term, brainwashing. They showed techniques that included subliminal messages.

Unfortunately, most have become so indoctrinated that anything other than to kill them won’t stop them. With that in mind, their motivations mean nothing. While others may want to psychoanalyze the terrorists, in most cases it will be a total waste of time. Considering their desire to kill any and every infidel or apostate possible, even if it involves their own death, wouldn’t killing them before they carry out their plans be considered self defense? Who in their right mind doesn’t defend themselves against attack?

in other words…lying, equivocating, grovelling and doing nothing.

100% RIGHT! You are either for terrorism, or against it. There is no gray area, only black and white. No mealy-mouthed wavering, no excuses, no bs.

I can think of a few members of Congress that should be hanged as traitors, imo.

Oh, good, now that we’ve cleared that up…why don’t they go blow up their own inner temptations, instead of attacking others?

Perhaps the proper way to describe the terrorists would be “Wahabists” or Radical Islamists.

I think the biggest problem isn’t that the terrorists represent a small portion of the Islamic faith, but rather that the vast majority of the Islamic faith either refuses to condemn their terrorist actions or actively support them in them. This is a war and sides must be chosen. You can not be neutral if you live in the US. You must either be against the terrorists or for them. Any US citizen that actively supports them is guilty of treason and should be treated thusly. Historically, we hang traitors. There is no middle ground. They do not wish to negotiate, they want to kill. As for the detainees at Gitmo, they are ununiformed combatants, not criminals and therefore are NOT eligible for protection under the US Constitution. Under the Geneva Conventions, they are international criminals that, like looters, may be shot on sight. Additionally, after their status is determined, they may also be executed, an action that I highly recommend. With the way in which they treat our guards, the real victims of abuse at Gitmo are our soldiers.

There are a handful of so-called Christian groups that you and others would say are not Xtian or do behave as Xtians would.

Same thing for Islam.
