and the whole part before that line is really the best part of the song. heh, perhaps common would have added a line about how we should also seperate between the extremist and the average believer, if he wrote it today..

>The problem arises when terrorism is used as a tool of
>EXTREMIST religious groups to force, their own warped sense
>of a moral, pure and righteous existences, on the world.

yep. the taliban was a prime example of an extremist group, who also treated their country severely. i remember before 9/11 that people on here were talking about the problems in afghanistan, and all those fleeing the country.

but do you think that 9/11 was an extremist religious act with the purpose of forcing al quaeda's own warped sense of moral onto USA? (i guess you don't, and that you just talked about religious extremists in general.)

...i'm not so sure about that. to illustrate it: if there was an extremist religious agenda behind the attack on USA, they'd fly the planes into a cathedral instead. (i know... it's possible to say that the twin towers were the cathedral of capitalism. but then, capitalism isn't really a religion ...at least not to most of us!)
