Explain how it IS relevant then.

uhh he just did... :roll:

He's not stereotryping. He's merely stated a fact.

It IS relevant because it narrows down the search for others involved. Do you really think it is mere coincidence that all the suspects were Muslim? That was just by chance? No. Sure the fact of them being Muslim isn't the ONLY factor, but it is a subset of a larger group (people as you would say) that needs to be further narrowed. Al-Qaida maybe? In fact, the paper today is saying the blasts appear to have links to Al-Qaida (or is that irrelevent?). It is relevant because authorities can search for like-minded individuals and can rationalize why, what, and how it happened. If everyone had the attitude "so-and-so don't commit crimes, PEOPLE commit crimes" then who knows where we would be.

Now you can try to explain how it isn't relevant, but don't use the whole "Because the Muslim religion doesn't support killing" argument. Yes, we all know that but for some reason these Muslims DID kill so what happened?

The person that's been arrested in relation with the bombings is called Naveed

According to my newspaper yesterday:
- they've found so much extra explosives in the bomb factory place they were using that they think there might have been another bomber who pulled out at the last minute.
- they're wondering if maybe they didn't realise they were going to be suicide bombs until quite late - they bought return train tickets and bought a pay and display parking ticket for the car they left at the station.
- they're pretty sure the bus bomb guy was meant to get on a train going north - but the line was closed. Apparently he wasn't very bright so they think he just wandered around for an hour not knowing what to do, and then somehow got on the bus. The guy in the paper thought maybe he was trying to disarm the bomb rather than set it off. But we'll probably never know.

A friend of mine online had a friend who was one of the people killed.

I agree completely. It is relevant to the point of them being affiliated/whatever with Al Quaeda, but you have to watch how you word things. Islam is a perfectly acceptable and non-violent religion, one which millions of people follow without incident. You cannot let a maximum of maybe 1000-2000 people dictate the way an entire religion is percieved and stereotyped as, especially when Islam has over a billion followers(Correct me if i'm wrong).

closeyoureyes, have you even read any of the holy book? maybe then you won't keep on saying what you do

by **Rusty** » 7/18/2005, 8:13 pm

Which Holy Book are you referring too? The Bible? The Quar'an? Well I can't remember how to spell any of the other Holy Books from other religions. But which book are you referring too? Also what part of what she said goes against the teachings of any of them?

by **closeyoureyes** » 7/19/2005, 12:13 am

If your argument is that The Qu'ran is violent or whatever, you've obviously never read the New Testament, because its VERY violent, and you never see Christianity getting accused of being pro-violence.

Yeah. Never been a series of Crusades or anything like that.
