Why single out Islam? Hmmm - the rubbish bins have been removed 
from the concourse and platforms of the Adelaide railway station
because of ...

(1) Islamic terrorism?

(2) Catholic terrorism?

(3) Jewish terrorism?

(4) TransAdelaide forgot to pay the council rates?

Islamic Terrorism Has Nothing to Do with Islam

By Bhumika Ghimire

After September 11, the world has become a strange place, especially
if you are a Muslim. The rising wave of terrorist attacks carried out
by fundamentalist Muslim is being attributed to the Muslim community
and to Islam as whole. The community is being held responsible for the
perverted few. This collective blaming is strange because this is the
first time it is being carried out. Looking at the history, the Pope
Pius XII (1876-1958) was asked again and again by the Jewish people 
to help stop the persecution and killing of Jews by the Nazis. He did
nothing claiming to be neutral. In 1941, when asked by the American
delegation to condemn the atrocities committed by the Nazis, the Pope
said that he believes that saying anything against the Germans might
affect the Catholics living in German controlled areas, so he
declined. Have we blamed the Catholics for failing to save the Jews,
have we blamed the community as a whole? No. The Pope was criticized,
but that was it. So why single out Islam?

Popular belief says that the poverty and lack of opportunity in Muslim
nations, especially in the Middle East fuels the hatred and terrorism
against the US and the West, actually it is the anger and confusion
among the people which leads them to violence.
