According to the recently published Human Security Report, there has been a decline in every form of armed conflict except one since the end of the Cold War. Would anyone care to hazzard a guess which form of armed conflict has seen a rapid increase since 1992?
That's right terrorism.
Now I don't think I am making too large of a leap when I say that most terrorists are from a certain part of the world. Middle East to be exact. And the vast majority of the people from that region are islamic.
I am so tired of hearing main stream American media calling islam a religion of peace. The evidence suggests the complete opposite. How do we condider people who kill non military personnel in public places without warning peaceful? How do we consider people who dance and sing in the streets because thousands have perished peaceful? You only need to know a little about the history of islam to know that it has no connection to peace.
