Subject: RE: BS: Arafat: Terrorize your enemy.
Teribus...Its completely un fair to attribute to me support for any of the actions of Osama BL.
Since I started posting not that long ago I havbe said repeatedly that Islamic fundamentalist tactics are beastial.
In saying that, I also believe that the Western responce to these tactic,the so called "war on terror"is counter productive.
We must find some way to lessen the power of the Islamic clerics ,without destroyingthe Islamic culture and religion, and this means a new mindset for the West.
The days are gone when we could batter opponents into submission or use subversive Capitalism as a tool. The fundamentalists are not susceptible to these tactics,and will go to any lengths to destroy us,before we destroy them.
Unfortunately they have all the aces ,and if we dont change course, i can see a bleak future
I think you are wrong to smear both Carol and myself as supporters of Islamic fundamentalism,without having any evidence to support that allegation.
I dont agree with everything that Carol says ,but her stance in favour of the Palistinians ,written in a very measured and composed manner is admirable.
The amount of personal abuse that she receives is cowardly and disgraceful,and Ihave yet to see her respond in such a manner...Ake
