Muslims in the Philippenes are holding hostages and committing mnurder there, too. Islam is not a religion of peace. In fact, Islam does not mean peace, it means SUBMISSION.
Many use religion as an excuse but some use race, as they are taking over are jobs, or they are kidnapping and enslaving are children or they put spells on me.
I have done anti terrorist and peace keeping operations in North Ireland, the Balkans, and parts of Africa, and I have seen real hatred and the worst of human behaviour, I have also seen very decent people trying to stay decent.
In all cases it is extremist whipping up hatred based on ignorance and fear. We must not fall into the same trap, we do not have the same excuse we are better educated and informed( do I really believe that)
If we are to fight this war we must go for the trouble makers remove them, the terrorist leaders, the financial supporters, the enforcers, the propagandists.
For the crowds all they really need is a decent economy so that they can work and feed there family. Once we have wiped out the terrorist we should take a long hard look at helping these nations in sorting them selfs out once and for all

Very true. We just never hear about this stuff. Same in Africa.
