Sorry, Keith.

I will clarify. These men believed they were acting on behalf of Islam or whatever branch of Islam they follow. Do we believe they were?

Fairy Nuff, M, but if I add

9. Are all Moslems misguided?
10. Are all Christians misguided?
11. Are all Atheists misguided?

Then surely we still expect the answer no. That is the point. No-one in their right minds can say that ALL [Whatever race/colour or creed] are of a like mind. It is impossible. If it was we may as well revert to all Irish or Poles being Stupid, all Black men being over sexed and all Jews being tight with money. Which means that people are arguing over what proportion of the race/colour/creed has these characteristics. It is my contention that all people are alike so the percentage of thieves/rapists/murderers in any give group of people is going to be, more or less, the same. Unless of course we are talking about a group of politicians or religious leaders who will have a much higher proportion of nutcases... :-)

Any help?

Cheers
