This article in Alternet is definitely required reading.
The author - Joshua Holland - does an excellent job of explaining why we are waging "The War on Terror" on the wrong "enemy." He also explains to those, ignorant of the fact, that not all terrorists are Muslims. So many right wing pundits and talk show hosts insist that "not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims."
This is so not true. According to the CIA website listing of terrorist organizations 36 out of 58 are NOT Islamic groups. This listing does not include ones that I remember like the Bader-Meinhof and Red Brigade that I remember from a decade or so back.
So check out this article - it will give you plenty of amunition to combat those who insist that Islamists are the only terrorists. Perhaps someone should tell George Bush.
