Notorious Christian terrorist Eric Rudolph |
Notorious Christian terrorist Eric Rudolph
<http://www.cbc.ca/storyview/MSN/world/national/2005/07/18/rudolph050718.html>
was sentenced to two life terms on Monday. The one-time fugitive had
carried out four bombings that terrorized the southeastern areas of
the United States. Among his crimes were the blowing up of an abortion
clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, which killed a policeman, and a bombing
of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia.
Of course, you won't see the headline above in American newspapers,
even though any Muslim who acts as Rudolph did would be called an
"Islamic terrorist" (a particularly objectionable term because
"Islamic" means "having to do with the Muslim faith). It is like
talking about "terrorism rooted in Christianity."

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president
represents, more and more closely, the inner soul
of the people. On some great and glorious day the
plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
desire at last and the White House will be adorned
by a downright moron." --- H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
"Ignorance is an evil weed, which dictators may cultivate among their
dupes, but which no democracy can afford among its citizens."
- William H. Beveridge, 1944
"The power of accurate observation is called cynicism
by those who have not got it." - G. B. Shaw

Is your complaint that the word "Christian" was omitted from Rudolph's
description or that "Islamic" is included in the other descriptions? If the
former, I agree, if the latter I don't.
