Muslims are the ultra-violent ones, indeed
As opponents of the Gaza Strip withdrawl continue to instigate Israeli-on-Israeli violence, we get yet another story of an Israeli gunman killing Palestinians.
In the West Bank, an Israeli settler grabbed a gun from a security guard in the Shilo settlement and started shooting Palestinians, killing three and wounding two before being arrested. The killings aroused fears of Palestinian retaliation and the disruption of the evacuation mission.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon denounced the attack as "Jewish terror aimed at stopping the withdrawl." Quite frankly, in my eyes, The Butcher of Qibya, Sabra and Shatila has as much moral authority to condemn Israeli-on-Palestinian violence as Yasser Arafat had to condemn Palestinian-on-Israeli violence - which is to say, none.
So don’t come to me with this BS about how only Muslims are ultra-violent. Between this, terrorism against abortion providers and homosexuals by the "Christian" Right, and the antics of Osama bin Forgotten and his crew, is it any wonder why I hate organized religion as a whole?
