Message text written by OSLIST >As Americans we justify our terror because the British were so powerful and oppressive. The Islamic Fundamentalist Movement has set the US in exactly the same frame and not simply as economically repressive but in a religious and cultural context.<
There is a lot of this kind of talk in the media at the moment but I think you need to be much clearer here. Any Muslim who believes in the five principles is in effect a 'fundamentalist', but very few would 'justify' the sort of terror we saw two weeks ago, as there is nothing in the Koran to support it. I think you need to distinguish between the value system and the mental health and political agendas of certain people who follow it.
