Well, that's a pretty strong indictment, it wasn't "Muslims" - it was a group of extremists and crazies, who happen to have been Muslim. Not all Muslims are terrorists the same way not all Christians are Catholics.

this is not english class I believe you know very well what I meant and what was meant by the poster. It was Muslims, I didnt say it was the entire world, but they were all in fact, Muslims!

And who ever said Catholics are Christians????? ( i kno im not!)

+1 correct, as a very non-practicing Catholic I completely agree

Yes, I know what you meant, but since the poster was from Pakistan I felt the need to clarify in the interests of civility. We are a "kinder, gentler" forum now, remember?

Merriam Webster, Wikipedia and many other define a "Christian" as one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Catholics believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

+1 m630 "...but they were all in fact, Muslims!"

PJINCA what is your source authority for your statement "...it wasn't "Muslims"?

Thank you.

If you read my post carefully I meant it wasn't Muslim's in general that perpetrated the attacks. It was in fact extremists who happen to be Muslim. If we look realistically at history we find many more heinous acts committed by Catholics/Christians - The Inquisition, The Crusades (specifically the Children's Crusade), the Witch trials, on and on..................

My meaning was let's not condemn the entire religion for the acts of a some crazies, shall we?

Thank you pjinca for clarifying your meaning. It was my mis-read. When I read your statement that "it wasn't Muslims" I took it literally mistakenly thinking you meant "it wasn't Muslims."

No problem. I could have made it clearer.

atleast my "unstable country" Pakistan doesnt start wars. lol........... cant say anything
Not yet- but the effort is there, esp. with India... Pakistan and India were setting off nukes like their own private fireworks show, circa 1998... If that wasn't sabre rattling, I don't know what was. But, there was no war- then- or since- yet. At the time, I expected to turn on my TV any day and find out that they had blasted each other out of existence- but, cooler heads obviously prevailed.

But, as for the Taliban... Well, thats a cancer that won't stop spreading...

I don't think Pakistan or India (Or Iran, or North Korea) should have nukes- but it's too late now, they have them (Except Iran). We (US) should have never let that happen. If we can ever get Russia and China on teh same page with us, we can ensure the spread of nuclear (and biological and Chemical) weapons stops...
