This is from an article on al-Jazeerah by Yamin Zakaria. Under the heading of:
Who are the “Ruthless Killers” of innocents?
[ QUOTE ]
Bush did not hesitate to call the Iraqi resistance acting in self-defense of their lands as “terrorists” and “ruthless killers”, but what are the US forces, when they have initially killed more than 100,000 civilians, largely comprising of women and children, who have done no harm to the US! What about the deliberate killing of 500,000 Iraqi children through applying the criminal economic sanctions over the last decade? To blame the victim for retaliating with ‘violence’ while ignoring the initial violence of the aggressor goes against human nature and the concept of justice!
It is the US with its murdering ideology of democracy and freedom that has killed in millions; annihilated the native populations of America, nuked civilian cities, burnet down cities with napalms and incendiary bombs, enslaved millions of Africans. Only 50 years ago, lynching African Americans was a pastime for many Americans. Such cruel examples cannot be found in our history and such crimes would never take place under Political Islam (Khilafah).

Would anyone care to name a few examples from recent history committed in the name of Islam? I seem to recall something about suicide bombings, kidnapping, torture, beheadings and 4 civilian jetliners being hijacked and used as guided missiles against civilian targets…
