The whole idea that they have anything to do with any form of Islam may well be a lie. They can get lots of cannonfodder from the Muslim world may be the reason they try to appear Islamist. It may really be about power and control. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

The British side did not call it a war and called the Irish side criminals because that was to the advantage of the British. The Irish side called themselves the IRA because getting the word "army" in there made it a "war" and that was to their advantage. Terrorists call themselves "freedom fighters". In the current conflict, the US has opted to give the other side an early victory by calling it a "war". -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
