The pot calling the kettle black

So, with all the hubbub about how the olympic bomber has just been found, I did some searching, and came across an interesting fact. Rather, I made somewhat of a revelation.

Bomber's thoughts on explosions, abortions, and gays

Americans are just as dumb (or, some may say dedicated to causes, fanatical, extreme, etc) as anyone. This guy was a fanatic. He's given his reasoning behind the bombings (funny how when an American blows something up, kills people, etc, he's called a 'bomber', rather than a terrorist, with a few exceptions) as his hatred for America's wholesale availability of abortion, and homosexuals. Wow. Sounds like the Christian right, right?

Funny how no matter the religion, fanatics seem to operate in the same manner. There's been a lot of talk about how Muslim extremists treat women like property, have harsh laws, etc. It's also funny how alot of Christian extremists line up, at least in action, to their Muslim brothers and sisters. For years, women have had to be subordinate to men, and if you were homosexual, well, you might as well quit while you're ahead! This is a constant theme that we see between extremists. Just ask a male Christian extremist where he thinks women's places in society are, and I can almost, to a 99% certainty, say that his answer will sound a whole lot like a Muslim extremist's.

Now, I don't think either group is worse than the other. They are both the dregs of society- twisting what was originally designed to spread love for your fellow man into a justification to murder- but how often are Christian extremists portrayed as "Terrorists"? Hardly EVER. Is it that we live in a primarally Christian society? Or because it's easier to deamonize people that: 1. Are a different color than you. and 2. Have a different name for their religion?

Let's call it like it is: The Oklahoma City Terrorist, The Uni-Terrorist, The olympic Terrorist, The Irish Terrorist Army. It's only FAIR AND BALLANCED.

Symantics or not- wording plays a huge role in how people view murderers.
