David.... not a LOT of the Petro Dollars go into terrorism! For example, who has been a PERSONAL friend of the Bush Family LONG before either became presidents.... The Saudi Royals. It's not exactly in the the Saudi Royal's best interest to attack the West..... and they have the MOST petro Dollars!
Yes, some of their wealth trickles down to the terrorists.... exactly like OUR Petro Dollars trickled down to IRISH terrorists! But don't imagine that we, as a STATE, funded the IRA!
I see...... The 'good' Muslims haven't made MUCH noise about terrorists..... and how much 'noise' did YOU make about the IRA and the Loyalists at the time..... funny, I didn't see your quotations in the press about THAT!
All the REST of your points have been answered previously!
The REAL complaint I am making here is that THIS type of thinking is EXACTLY what allowed Hitler to rise..... Do NOT fall for it! It's will be used as an attempt to MOBILISE the British against ANY group who are DIFFERENT! In the 1930s, it was the Jews... if it happens NOW, it will be the Muslims! Back in the 15 and 16th Centuries, it was the Catholics! It's a TRICK to FOOL you into ignoring the REAL problems! It's what Right Winger Extremists DO! It's what Mugabe has done to keep HIS nation 'together': he has blamed the BRITISH.... basically, ANYTHING to get his own people looking the other WAY!
Don't YOU lot be fooled by it!
That's VASTLY more scary than a bunch of HOPELESS terrorists! Damn it, the attack on Glasgow airport was a COMEDY scene. Suicide bombers for all OTHER terrorists are FAILURES! So far, they are NOT a serious threat to us! They HAVE managed to kill a few people and for that there is NO excuse. Nor do I unreasonably minimise the PERSONAL losses from their eveil attacks.... BUT.... in the wider scheme of things... they are HOPELESS! So far, their death toll has been LESS than 1 week's worth of cars that are SPEEDING!
To get CLOSE to the Nazi's total would take them about 1 MILLION YEARS at the current rate!
Keep the dangers in PERSPECTIVE! The FAR right would find more willing murderers in THIS country than can millitant Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Catholics, Protestants, etc.. THAT's where the REAL danger lies!
