They are scared - frightened people do extreme things, they have to lash out - the martyrdom thing is supposed to show how much they "believe". You have to realise that someone is manipulating them - you have to find these people and deal with them - invading countries that have nothing what so ever to do with it is not going to fix the problem - obviously.My questions is this:
The Jews may or may not be OK with Moses being a giant head/computer, but they aren't threatening to kill anyone.
The Christians may or may not be OK with Jesus looking up internet porn, but they aren't threatening to kill anyone.
The Buddhist may or may not be OK with Buddha blowing lines of coke, but they aren't threatening to kill anyone.
The Mormons may or may not be OK with Joseph Smith... ummm.. doing whatever, but they aren't threatening to kill anyone.
So what's Islam's deal?
And if my religious knowledge isn't mistaken, Muhammad was nothing more than a prophet. Muhammad's father was the servant of Allah, the god of the Islamic faith (as well as the god of Judaism and Christianity). So its not like Jesus, who was the son of the Lord, but more like the son of some guy who served the Lord.
(I'm Jewish btw)
That is just manipulation the other way, and in an odd way it's two sides of the same coin; they need each other to justify themselves.
Imagine if there had been total peace since the fall of the Soviet Union would the defence industry still be in such good health - would it hell, everyone would be saying where is the baddie, why are we spending so much on it, how about some universal healthcare, or tax cuts?
