#2 Huh, what?(!) Terrorism can't be linked to any nation or religion? What planet did these idiots wake up on this morning? Spain needs another up close and personal dose of Islamic jihadism IMNSHO. If that doesn't wake them up then they're too far gone to save. |

#1 Spain and Pakistan on Friday rejected associating terrorism with any nation, culture, or religion. A craven coward kisses his tormentor's ass, what more to say? While the practice of terrorism is not restricted to Islam alone, the fact that 99.9% of it is Islamic in origin still demands recognition. That Zapatero and Musharref can somehow ignore this automatically qualifies each of them for a slug. |
