Islamic terrorists sent mail bombs to a bunch of scientists, bombed the Olympics in Atlanta, and destroyed that federal building in Oklahoma City, too, right?
Clearly not. But those were a while back. And the people who seem to be doing the most killing of civilians these days identify themselves as muslims.
Yes, I understand that most, perhaps very nearly all muslims don't want anything to do with these nut-jobs. However, if you're looking for the group of people most likely to be in to this kind of thing _right now_, then it seems that the nearest crazy-horse mosque might be the place to go. No, not the mosque around the corner from you right now [for most values of 'you'], but such places exist, and its right for law enforcement to investigate them.
Don't misunderstand me. Killing civilians with secret orders via remotely piloted drones, with no trial, no public investigation and no accountability is broken. Obama has certainly given me hope. Just as Bush did before him. I _hope_ that the next holder of office is a little more responsible.
But, there is a war. And I'd rather the liberal democracies won it. [hint - if the nut-jobs who attached the shopping mall in Nairobi had their way, my children and I would be executed in a flash]
Liberal democracies dont win when people are being killed without a trial. Government organizations that produce a visage of a liberal democracies win and they are two very different things.
What's going on in Burma is that the military dictatorship continues after half-assed elections and they are using narrow ethnic nationalism and Islamophobia to commit ethnic cleansing and burning whole villages and towns: http://www.hrw.org/news/2013/04/22/burma-end-ethnic-cleansin...
Narrow and blind hatred from other people lets them continue doing it. The number of people killed under the guard of the "new" Burma far exceeds the toll in Nairobi and Nigeria.
