It's pure coincidence all these terrorists are Muslims and claim to be performing these acts in the name of their religion. Just a crazy coincidence. Says nothing about Muslims.

Hardly coincidence. In the name of religious freedom we allow these arabs to come to the United States, get welfare, open corner grocery stores and preach terrorism behind the closed doors of their mosques. The worst terror is home grown.

Sad that most terrorists are democrats. Says something of their methods and madness. Time to "start knocking heads".

Anon at 12:49 is right. Interesting to think that all these terrorists agree in many ways to the democrats. I'm glad I have little in common with these terrorists. Glad to be on the RIGHT side.

How do you feel terrorists have anything in common with Democrats?

Considering their desire to force others to follow their religion, I would think terrorists more in line with right-wing Republicans.

Anwar al Awlaki’s comments are very interesting since radical Muslims are killing each other, around the world, all because some egomaniacs have appointed themselves god, and are teaching their followers their interruption of the Koran is the only truth. The real Muslim enemy is its own radical extremists, not The United States of America, or the United Nations. Major Nidal Malik Hasan apparently was a troubled soul who was overwhelmed by his own mental health issues, like all other mass killers

It is unfortunate that the hate filled spewings of a radical extremist serve to paint all followers of Islam with the same brush.

But more unfortunate is the fact that moderate Islamic leaders will only rarely step up and condemn words like these. Until they do, the mis-informed (on both sides of this cultural wall) will continue to allow the world to be filled with hate.

Am true Muslim and God says in the holy Quran what means " Whosoever kills a human being without (any reason like) man slaughter, or corruption on earth, it is as though he had killed all mankind ... (5:32) . This Holy verse refers to the killing of Moslem or non-Moslem..taking one's life is equal to taking the life of the whole of the world..so i dont believe we are all terorist or anything like that ISLAM MEANS PEACE THOSE KILL PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THEY ARE NOT MUSLIM

To the 12:48 commentator,
70% of Arabs in the United States are Christians. At least where I live it is not Arabs that run the coner stores, but Chaldeans, who are Christians from Iraq who have a dialect of Aramaic (the language Jesus spoke) as their mother tongue.
Just because someone is from the Middle East does not mean they are a Muslim.

The claims that terrorists have anything in common with either of the major political parties in the United States are just ludicrous. Even people like Timonthy McVeigh were not "Republicans" but maybe, and I emphasize MAYBE, "libertarians". Of course there is an actual connection between Brian David Mitchell and Bo Gritz.
Bo Gritz was part of the Populist Party, whose presidential candidate was David Duke. Those like me who dislike this extre-right activity (which makes the Republicans look moderate) are glad that Bo Gritz was excommunicated for the LDS Church.
If we want to talk about radicalism, we should ask why the Gritz, who rejects the principals of the 11th Article of Faith, got over 3% of the vote in Utah. The fact that so many Mormons gravitate to such truly extreme right figures scares those of us who are Conservatives but not reactionaries, who follow the Prophet on issues like guns in Churches and wish the Church would make an example of some of the misguided people (like one of my uncles) who bring their guns with them to Church despite Church policy against such behavior.
