Problem is, some groups seem unable to do it. They are 100% right and anyone who disagrees is 100% wrong. You see it in individuals as well.

CAIRO, Egypt (CNN) -- The father of one of the hijackers who commandeered the first plane that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, praised the recent terror attacks in London and said many more would follow.
Speaking to CNN Producer Ayman Mohyeldin Tuesday in his apartment in the upper-middle-class Cairo suburb of Giza, Mohamed el-Amir said he would like to see more attacks like the July 7 bombings of three London subway trains and a bus that killed 52 people, plus the four bombers.
Displayed prominently in the apartment were pictures of el-Amir's son, Mohamed Atta, the man who is believed to have piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the north tower of the World Trade Center as part of the attacks on the United States.
El-Amir said the attacks in the United States and the July 7 attacks in London were the beginning of what would be a 50-year religious war, in which there would be many more fighters like his son.
He declared that terror cells around the world were a "nuclear bomb that has now been activated and is ticking."
The man, who gave his age as "at least 70," said he had no sorrow for what happened in London, and said there was a double standard in the way the world viewed the victims in London and victims in the Muslim world.
Cursing in Arabic, el-Amir also denounced Arab leaders and Muslims who condemned the London attacks as being traitors and non-Muslims.
He passionately vowed that he would do anything within his power to encourage more attacks.
When asked if he would allow a CNN crew to videotape another interview with him, el-Amir said he would give his permission -- for a price of $5,000.
That money, he said, would not be kept for himself, but would be donated to someone to carry out another terror attack.
El-Amir said that $5,000 was about how much it would cost to finance another attack in London.
A lawyer by trade, el-Amir had a sign on his apartment door saying he was a consultant.
The security guard for the apartment building said el-Amir had been under surveillance by Egyptian agents for several months after the September 11 attacks, but no one had been watching him recently.

In June 1997, Atta was laid off by Plankontor. The partners had bought a CAD system and his draughtsmanship was not needed. 'When he was given his last sum of money, he got too much from us and he sent it back,' recalled Frinken. 'He said that he hadn't earned it and he didn't want any more'.
He was an honest chap tho...
Naivete?
Naivete as is thinking Iraq doesnt/wouldnt cause more hostility among a lot of people..
British Intelligence, Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs)and Economic & Social Research Council have issued reports recently that point out that UK/US foreign policy is helping terrorism.
Something that no-one can say "well, we couldnt have known" as many people have been warning of this for years.
A little like the current situation in Iraq in fact.. warned and then saying "We couldnt have known", or lying outright and hoping no-one spots the bluff. :rolleyes:
From the Chatham House ReportQuote:
....there is "no doubt" that the invasion of Iraq has imposed difficulties for the UK and that the UK is at "particular risk" because it is the closest ally of the US and has closely supported the deployment of British troops in the U.S. led military campaigns. A key problem for the UK in preventing terrorism in Britain is the government’s position as "pillion passenger" to the United States' war on terror. Formulating counter-terrorism policy in this way has left the "ally in the driving seat" to do the steering. Senior UK cabinet ministers are in denial.
Face up to your naivete J2K4.. far from making the world safer, the "War on Terror" in its current format has increased terrorism 3fold easily, and been hijacked in order to achieve the personal aims of certain parties.
Helping Al Queda, so Iraq can be invaded for example. Conveniantly not telling the people that Al Queda's supporters in that country were your allies in the invasion... The Kurds.
How are the terrorist acts of the Kurds in Turkey being reported over there by the way?
Is it long enough ago that they risk reporting them at all yet?
I just knew you were going to say that.
for some reason whenever i read one of your posts i get really annoyed.Quote:

"so what if the terrorism is under cover religious shit, it's still down to american foriegn policy."
And perhaps US foreign policy is affected by their people being murdered in indiscriminate attacks.
