That's the one instance that everyone looks at. So at the very least, I congratulate you on your common knowledge of history. Be sure to forward me the email when you get a chance, I'd love to read it.
So, in short, you don't have an argument.
My point, considering you obviously missed it, was that extremist nut-jobs are gonna be who they are and do what they do no matter what their sick minds 'choose' to dwell upon - be it religion, race, politics, all these are simply outlets of the anger and insanity stored in them. The US didn't need the "issues" with muslim immigration to have OK City, Columbine, Texas Tech, Tucson etc, etc.
Unfortunately, your personal political and social convictions do not allow you to see the nut-jobs in question as the actual 'reasons' for these atrocious acts, so you identify the fixations of their messed-up minds as the central issue.
9-11, Oslo or Oklahoma City, different dudes, same result. Race, religion, nationality, reasoning may be different, but the result is the same. The persons that complete the acts are all scumbags.
yep, I do agree ... that's what I was hoping Andy would say, though.
