#3 A white person in a white-dominated and white-centric society is not in a position to feel the pain of a young muslim student. Being non-white, non-favoured race, non-favoured culture and anti-muslim world environment can make a person do drastic things.

#4 Terrorism and the constant rationalizations and excuses offered by their elitist supporters can make us do drastic things. It's about to get a lot worse.
As a terrorist enabler and sympathizer, Anonymous 4681 you are in no position to feel the pain YOU are causing. That will change, though; a lot and very soon.
The fifth column is responsible and it must pay.

#5 As a med student this clown occupied a fairly priveleged in western society. That some minor affronts and his own failure become an excuse for joining a band of savage murderers is indicative not of oppression but of pathological narcissism.

Of course, this is a common enough shortcoming, which is perhaps why other authoritarian narcissists and power-seekers have been mobilized into a mass movement hell-bent on showing solidarity with the terrorists. Like attracts like.
Go charge some Mumia shirts at the mall, Anonymous, or have a talk with your trust-fund manager, your drivel is laughable here.

#6 Hey Atomic, lets let A4681 talk to an Aussie who lost friends or family in Bali?

#7 Strange, I was a med student once, long ago, and my patients never made me feel like a newt frog. Though they did make me feel pretty stoopid at times over my lack of knowledge. Guess I should have put down my stethoscope and whipped out a rod picked up a rifle.

#8 Good idea, Ed.
"white-centric" is hilariously illiterate and pretentious.

#9 Steve : put down my stethoscope and picked up a rifle.

Oddly enough, my Doctor is a Harley ridin' Vietnam Vet who started his medical career as an Army medic. You don't know how close you are. . . .

#10 Steve White, a little fishing is a good thing. Put down the gun and back slowly away. Pick up the rod and slowly breath, yes breath. Now doesnt that feel better?

#11 Anonymous4681...especially when you hail from the religion of blame peace.

I hope you can learn to get over it. When I was growing up, we had a little song for self pitying saps, it goes like this:
nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll go and eat dirt.

#15 I'm in China, and every time I go outside the house, people stare at me like I'm some kind of carnival freak show. The rude ones crack jokes about my hairy arms and chest. Right in front of me. Somehow, I don't feel the need to pick up a rifle and start killing them. Go figure. I guess my mama raised me wrong.

#16 THEY come to OUR lands, look for excuses to hate us, then try to kill us? WTF?

Long live the Reconquista!

#18 They looked at him as if he were a frog? Why, did he have a French accent?

#19 raptor - that's why he / she posted anonymously. Prolly Anti-War or other similar "deeply sensitive" person. As someone who has lived most of the last decade as a stranger in a strange land I could say something similar to this, but then I try to keep my asshat quotient down. Just for practice, you understand. Of course, lol, had I been 30 yrs younger, my experiences in IzzoidLand might have prompted me to join up with Jarhead, heh. ;->

Looks like he consideres us animals, too.

#21 dear anon 4681

while at some level i am sympathetic to your concerns, i would like to point out that we have not seen a terrorist movement emerge among blacks and hispanics in the US, among non-muslim african immigrants in Europe, among West Indians in the UK, etc, despite all of them suffering similar, if not worse, discrimination. Clearly there are other basic problems in the muslim world that drive the choice to become a terrorist rather than, say, a political activist.

I would note in passing that one of the side benefits of the events in the last few years has been that many Americans have come to a new appreciation of the patriotism and courage of the hispanic and african american communities. ISTM that the WOT is, in many ways, for those communities what World War 2 was for the southern and eastern european immigrant communities.

#22 If life was so bad in Australia he could easily have gone somewhere else without fighting Jihad. He could have stayed in Pakistan where they probably need doctors. This guy is an idiot and folks like Anonymous4681 are his enablers.

#23 The Western patients in hospitals look at me as though I’m a frog.

I can sympathize. Somebody mistakes me for a Frenchman, and it's go time.

#24 no picture? maybe he really looks like a frog? I know of a guy in Ramallah, place called the Muqata, who apparently looks just like a fish with a dish towel and fan belt on his head

So, he could have moved to where he was comfortable, didn't have to train to kill us.
