You are so right; it is about naming the enemy! Shelly

I believe it would be difficult to think I am not one who thinks first of Islam in any of war game on anybody; particularly those that are performed cowardly, especially violent and always ugly in as many aspects as possible. I have been watching this for many years. They are heartless, ruthless and sons of Satan. The fear our countryman are showing against the crass is worse than that of their damage. I shall not give up my freedom to them willingly just to save my life. One of the great country of US said 'give me liverty or give me death' his name was Patrick Henry. I agree with him. If this is too radical feel free to erase it.

I think its more that they do not want to panick the population... Government tends to "parent" and that is as you said in your post very wrong, we are adults and we should be treated as such. I think everyone knows the truth there... it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck it must be a duck... but there is always the hope in our heart of hearts that its just some crazy guy... that would mean an isolated case . Its just human nature Naut to deny the obvious to protect ourselves from an even more terrible monster: fear.

A grave concern it is that they are not naming the motive when it is fairly obvious what is going on here.

When I here of things getting blown up I think of first hat it most likely was a religious fundamentalist. If one looks at American history, it has RARELY been Muslims. Generally it has been conservative minded Christian fundamentalists who have been behind the majority of terrorist attacks on US soil. Muslim fundamentalists are a fairly new thing in committing attacks on US soil. But in both case it is the FUNDAMENTALIST aspect that is the real problem, not the religious. It doesn't matter what one's religion is, ALL religions can be taken to dangerous extremes. The reason why they are trying to avoid referring to these people as Muslims or Islamic is because that paints a racist portrait that it is the Muslim world itself that we are fighting and such an idea only will cause more problems. We need to look at those committing acts of terrorism as individuals and not as examples of their religious faith. Otherwise, we need to start getting serious about profiling against conservative Christian fundamentalists in this country to make our streets safer, since there have been countless more successful terrorists attacks here on US soil by them than any group of Muslims. Yet I can promise you that the majority of Christians wish to have any Christian terrorists viewed as individuals and NOT as representatives of their faith.
