I have a problem with Islamaphobic Fear Mongers who promote bigotry rather than tolerance. Their selective omission of the the actions of the majority of Muslims who are peace loving and tolerant is manipulative. These people promote religious based irrational fear and hatred. They portray 1.4 billion people collectively as evil based purely on their religion, rather than treating people as individuals.
A Bigot is someone who is hostile to those of differing sex, race, ethnicity, religion or spirituality, nationality, language, inter-regional prejudice, gender and sexual orientation, homelessness, various medical disorders particularly behavioral disorders and addictive disorders.
Colpy probably doesn't know a single Muslim personally, yet he is hostile towards all 1.4 billion of them. That would make him and others like him Islamaphobic bigots. In fact this thread is full of posts by people who are irrationally hostile towards 1.4 billion people, 99.999% of who have never committed an single terrorist act. They believe that all these people are "f_cked in the head", even though they don't know a single Muslim personally. To me, that seems pretty "f_cked in the head".
Silence on a Thanksgiving weekend shouldn't be mysterious.
If 1.4 billion Muslims can be blamed for the actions of the most extreme minority in this religion, then neoconservatives can also be blamed for the Oslo and Tucson ( Sheriff Clarence Dupnik: Arizona 'Mecca For Prejudice & Bigotry' ) massacres.
Regarding Terrorism. This term has no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition. Its primary use today is as a propaganda term to describe some attacks against some civilians. Our leaders and MSM, would have had no problems labeling the Oslo massacre a terrorist attack, if the killer was Muslim. Our news would not be trying to ignore this story if it supported their neoconservative agendas. Since he wasn't Muslim and his politics was an extreme form of neoconservativism, our MSM and neoconservative political leaders portray this massacre as a relatively unnewsworthy crime by a crazy person. The silence of our media regarding this attack speaks volumes regarding media manipulation which demonizes Muslims and ignores neoconservative motivated or rationalized attacks against civilians.
Regarding Muslims committing terrorist attacks. Just because a Muslim person committed the attack, does not prove the attack was religiously motivated. If a person's religion must always be assumed to be the primary motivation for mass murder of civilians, then the Oslo killer would be an example of a Christian terrorist, since he is a self described Christian.
Regarding religion being the primary motivation for attacks by Muslims against civilians. Most cases where Muslims are responsible for attacks against civilians, the motivation is political or at least has a important political element. Few of these attacks by Muslims against civilians are 100% religiously motivated. Most Muslim clerics oppose violence and nearly all have condemned attacks against civilians.
Muslims Condemn Terrorist Attacks
Regarding attempts by fear mongers who run websites like the "ReligionOfPeace.com" and other Islamiphobic hates sites to attribute every attack by a Muslim against a group of civilians as religiously motivated. In most cases the primary motivation is non-religious... overthrowing foreign occupations and corrupt leaders, resisting oppression, injustice and state sponsored ethnic cleansing, influencing foreign policies, attempts to start wars... Using the same erroneous assumption that an attacker's religion is always the primary motivation, then the bombing of the King David Hotel is an example of Jewish terrorism.

Blaming every Jew for this attack or claiming every Jew was "f_cked in the head" as a result of this attack (and many Zionist attacks against civilians common during the British Mandate of Palestine) would be anti-Semitic in the same way that blaming every Muslim for the actions of a few extreme elements is Islamphobic.
Regarding the narrow list of attacks against civilians as per Colpy's referenced list. This list completely ignores context. Many attacks on that list were in the context of war. The UK and Spain joined the US in an unprovoked war against Iraq which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and made millions more homeless refugees. Some estimates peg the number of civilian casualties at over one million. The civilian casualty rate of this one neoconservative war alone exceeds the total casualty rate of every single terrorist act ever committed.

Understandable, starting an unprovoked war (justified by lies and deceptions regarding Iraq's non-existent WMD stockpiles and non-involvement in the events of 9/11) which causes death and destruction on that scale is going to make millions of people angry regardless of their religion. Yet our MSM and political leaders label attacks against the US, UK and Spain by resistance sympathizers as religiously motivated terrorism, when they are really part of politically motivated resistance.
Regarding the deliberately manipulative Islamaphobic websites which were referenced by the Oslo killer and embraced by many people here on this forum. If you read that trash all the time and you are going to wind up being just a "f_cked in the head" as the Oslo killer.
Colpy doesn't fear people because of their religion. He identifies them because they're f_cked in the head.

Gee, suddenly there is dead silence on this thread!!!
Some more facts for you........of the 54 terrorist attacks that caused 100 or more deaths, 40 were done in the name of Allah.
List of battles and other violent events by death toll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'd have counted the whole list, but there are about 300...........and the Ignorant Idiots of Islam add to it on a weekly basis......
You getting this EAO????
All the hundreds of causes, all the wars and rumors of wars and rebellions, and resistence movements, all the hundreds of causes that lead to bloodshed on this violent world.........
And considering the worst terror attacks, those that cause 100 or more deaths, a full 74% are done in the name of Allah.
Religion of Peace my hairy arse.
Now the relativists have kinda STFU, haven't they?
Nothing to say, boys???
Pull your heads out of the sand and look around.
