terrorists have no nationality and no religion. Terrorists aren't extermists either. No where in islam it says to "terrorize" people. so don't call them extremists. extremists and terrorists are TWO different words with different meanings.

People need to remember we are not fighting against Muslim people, but Muslim extremists. I've seen plenty of "let's just nuke them" comments on YouTube from ignorant people that shatter the means of decency by associating extremists with everybody from the area in which they come from. Calling every Muslim a terrorist is the same as calling every dog a poodle.

Good man.

Sorry that the majority of terrorists today choose to hide behind Islam.

Yet another attempted terrorist attack happened recently on US soil. Man from Nigeria tried to blow up a plane in Detroit. Fortunately, the explosive failed and he got the shit beat out of him by passengers. I would have probably killed him in the most horrible of ways.
