Changing Middle East Pathology
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Clifford D. May - It is a common misperception that most terrorism is directed against Jews and Christians. The fact is no group has suffered more than Muslims from radical Islamist violence. In Beirut this week, former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri was killed by a powerful car bomb. In Iraq, scarcely a day goes by when innocent men, women, and children are not murdered for such "crimes" as following the Shiite tradition of Islam. Tunis, Casablanca, and Istanbul are among the Muslim-majority cities that have been attacked. Over the years, more than 100,000 Algerians have been murdered by Islamist terrorists.
