That's the most idiotic thing I've ever read on this forum!Quote:
McVeigh, who admitted guilt, was the first federal prisoner to be executed in 38 years.
Which is only surpassed by a sincere, and authentic urge, and offer to kick your pasty white @$$
You damn well better believe we were pissed! That's why we put him to death. What are you talking about?Quote:

I agree that he got the punishment he deserved, my point being that you have had 'home grown' terrorists way before 9/11 and that I don't remember the media in the US being in such a lather over his hienious crime compared to 9/11. In fact I dare say that to some sick indivuals he has become a poster boy for his perceived anti establishment views/actions. Without knowing any posters personally, judging by some of the things that certain people post, indicates to me that their own views on society and government are perhaps very similar to McVeighs.
Every time I have mentioned his name on this forum it has been ignored which suggests to me that what he did 'was' accepted by mainstream America because he was 'white'.
I must have missed your past references to him because I would and will denounce him at every change I get. The man was sick, twisted, and evil through and through. And there was quite a bit of media attention over here about him. Maybe it didn't get as much international exposure?Quote:

Color has/had nothing to do with any of this. Except to individuals (on both sides of this issue) where color is everything.
What bothers me with several of the posts and posters in this thread is the wholesale commendtion of the Muslim, or Moslem faith.
The vast majority are regular people.
There certainly are the extremist Islamics, but they are a minority.
We also have extremist Christians, the wack jobs in Ireland just been two sects. I mean both the Catholic and Protestant extremists.
In the meantime Eki is being his usual asinine self.
Am I dreaming or did you say that this monsters deed was accepted by mainstream America?Quote:

The way the Feds handed Waco, and especially Ruby Ridge doesn't sit well with a lot of Americans.
But as a society this man’s actions were viewed by mainstream Americans the same way all sane people view these atrocities.
It was the action of a murderous sociopath. He deserved something worse than death.
Real Americans, have questioned many heavy handed tactics of federal law enforcement agencies.
If anything McVeigh’s attack hurt the cause of those who were trying to get federal accountability through lawsuits and investigations.

Without wanting to highjack the thread, as an outsider it seems to me that people like him and others like the unabomber(sp?) and more recently the person who planted the bomb at the olmypics in Atlanta do get made out to be heros in some way. With the Atlanta bomber it seemed to be more of a case of admiration for the fact that he evaded capture for so long.
So you are saying that you condone attacks on anyone who is not a native of the country. Say England has a squad in Italy then you would say it is fine for the terrorists to attack.Quote:

I dont for one second condone terrorism in any way shape or form as I pointed out in my original post. As someone who is not from the US I think the attitudes of some of the American forumers toward people of the Muslim faith is to me appauling. Again to back up what Easy Drifter said, the majority of people from the Muslim faith are just regular normal people. Its is only the extremely tiny minority that are terrorists. I fail to see how you can condem milions of people for just something like 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the entire Muslim population.
Do you mean in the same sense that Brits admire “Jack the Ripper”?Quote:
