Anonymous said...: Isn't it important to mention the terrrorism committed by Israel? Or Amerikkka? Or the U.K?

100,000 innocent people were killed in Iraq because of terrorism from the u$a. Twice as many palistinians have been killed than israelies since the intifada began.

Why don't these people matter to you? One would have do suspect racism!

What is the diference between islamic or capitalist fundamentalism? Both kill people.; 7/15/05, 7:59 PM
