Fuzzy bears!
but it is who they are. I know Tim McVeigh was an american citizen. shame on his dead ass, thankfully. Doesn't mean I'm not going to call him an american terrorist. That's exactly what he was. He should denounce them as radicals. It's easy.so what religion are the terrorists in question?That's a far cry from saying terrorists are blameless.![]()
To Fix a problem, you have to first admit you have a problem. Standard stuff
I wasn't commenting on Islam, though. I was talking about save's comment that the Khan's "hold the terrorists blameless". If Mr. Khan doesn't want terrorism conflated with Islam that doesn't mean he feels terrorists are without blame.
I would guess some version of Islam. As a Muslim I imagine Mr. Khan doesn't want people to see Islam and terrorism as the same thing. To him, it may be that the terrorists are not real Muslims, just as I've seen people talk about certain Christians not being real Christians.
Whether someone is a Muslim is more open to opinion than if someone is a citizen of a particular country.
Don't get me wrong, I consider many of the terrorists committing their acts in today's world to be Islamic. Radicals, sure, but still Islamic radicals. However, I know that people have widely varying opinions on what constitutes belief in a given religion. Mr. Khan may honestly believe that the radicals are not actually Muslims because of the radical nature of their beliefs and actions.
