To the Muslims over the worold, I implore you. If you think, know or suspect any terrorist activity -- point out suspects and activities. Too often, a bomb explodes and there are people picking up the pieces and others looking for clues. Still, other Muslims cheer, dance and in other ways condone the murder of others via worn bomb, timed, or random act. I can't think of a US channel cheering over Hezbollah's death tolls. I can't see a TV channel delighting with the death in Iraq. I don't see BBC broadcasting citizens dancing in the street with Al Queda arrest.
It should be no wonder then, that this group of 20 people were Muslim, wanting to blow up plane loads of people on their way to and from UK and US. This is furthers stereotypes.
To the Muslims of the world, be pro-active and root out this evil-doers. Soon, their actions and the generalized (or over generalized) response of Muslims complacent or condoning their actions will lead to one thing ... Arab and Muslim discrimination. "Who cares", might be a response, until Muslims are nearly or outright banned from US entry (even visiting). Continued bombing and murder plots will only further the gulf between very diverse cultures. I would guess, in another couple of decades of this madness -- there will be an unwritten, "open season" on Muslims, regardless who or where they are. That's a damn shame!
What do I suggest -- cut it out! Stop it! Eliminate your own terrorist groups. Wipe them out completely, rather than non-Muslims getting too tired to fight people one-on-one and go to a more defensive screen -- genocide. I believe soon, Muslims will indeed get genocide -- of themselves, by people tired of having to defend themselves from them. There are only a few strings left keeping Israel from genociding any and all Muslims. The US and UK aren't keen on them either.
I can think of many groups and, yes -- states that would volunteer for para-military action if there were no bag limits on killing of Muslims, not that they would care anyway. Herein, they would base it on "reletive color" rather than culture, language, clothing, region, and many other specifics. Bubba and kin, and Rolf and his neo-Nazi cadre, illegally armed would just love to make the world safe for "whitey".
