I can't. But there again, I never claimed that they all were.

And next time you see a gang of skinheads stood outside a Mosque with a gallon or ten of petrol and some matches, chanting about death... prove that they aren't on their way to a barbecue whilst reciting the lyrics to some heavy metal songs.

Please stop being silly. This is not helping your arguments at all.

Get real will you? If you go through life justifying everything you do in advance, you will do nothing. Why? Because you cannot justify the unknown. The 9/11 pilots could have been mid-air joyriders ny your logic. It was only when they hit the Twin Towers that they became genocidal maniacs. Or could you have "proven" that was their intention far enough in advance?

Me283 I see little point in continuing this any further as this has ceased to be a reasonable debate.

Unfortunately - yes. |
Unfortunately, indeed.
Stupid? I certainly think so.

They should target terrorist *groups*.
They should *NOT* target Islam simply because the terrorists call themselves "Muslims".

Are you also suggesting (or do you believe) that the Anti Terrorist forces would turn a blind eye/ignore/fail to take seriously/fail to respond to any reported non-muslim terrorism intelligence?

No, but I've never said that.
