Some M's are T's; All T's are M's

Well argued logic and self criticism from Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, general manager of Al- Arabiya news channel, in today's Telegraph (UK):
It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims.

The hostage-takers of children in Beslan, North Ossetia, were Muslims. The other hostage-takers and subsequent murderers of the Nepalese chefs and workers in Iraq were also Muslims. Those involved in rape and murder in Darfur, Sudan, are Muslims, with other Muslims chosen to be their victims.

Those responsible for the attacks on residential towers in Riyadh and Khobar were Muslims. The two women who crashed two airliners last week were also Muslims.

Bin Laden is a Muslim. The majority of those who manned the suicide bombings against buses, vehicles, schools, houses and buildings, all over the world, were Muslim.

What a pathetic record. What an abominable "achievement". Does all this tell us anything about ourselves, our societies and our culture?

These images, when put together, or taken separately, are shameful and degrading. But let us start with putting an end to a history of denial. . .

We cannot clear our names unless we own up to the shameful fact that terrorism has become an Islamic enterprise; an almost exclusive monopoly, implemented by Muslim men and women.
Islam isn't the enemy. Perverted, radical Islam is. And it's not just after George Bush--the target is Western Civilization as a whole. As folk singer (and liberal lion) Pete Seeger asked, "which side are you on, boys?" (via LGF)

While I am one of the first to get on the "Nuke Mecca" bandwagon, I really do have to point out that Mcveigh and Nichols were not Moslems. While they may have been working with Islamic terrorists (see Jayna Davis' book "The Third Terrorist") they were as white as rice. So was Eric Rudolph. So are a lot of idiots in movements like ALF, ELF, and the white supremacist movements (like the Klan and the Nazi's).

How about MEcHA? Can you say Mexiqaeda? These a**hats have been conducting an increasingly violent campaign to get back the US Southwest they claim was stolen in 1848 after the Mexican War. THey have endorsed Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad, along with applauding Al Qaeda's efforts to destroy the US. THey have been especially focused on assaults on the Minutemen group on the Southern Border and I have heard that there is some evidence that they have been helping to smuggle Islamists into the US.
