I was just about to post about that!!! Seems like were on the same wavelink today!

Wait a minute, Superpower07: Im so glad Bush was re-elected.
Kramers Intern: Im so PISSED OFF Bush wasnt re-defeated.

Yeah, its terrible, but how can they get away with it? They want a plane to Russia, a country that obviously doesnt want them. They should have chosen a terrorist haven such as Saudi Arabia. That would have been perfect! The government doesnt care and if Greece invaded they would be bombed so fast!

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PUT THE LOCATION WHERE YOUR HEADING THING IS THAT TELLS YOUR NAME?!?!?!

Sorry, I only used capslocks to get people attention, waiting for a responce.

Not terrorists. Just Albanian criminals trying to extord 1,000,000 Euros.

VW, anybody IMO who hijacks vehicles, holds people hostage, and demands $ in return is guilty of terrorism.

I don't agree. If they had demanded the release of prisoners or some political action on behalf of the Islamic world revolution or something they would be terrorists. But these were mobsters.

No they were terrorists.

Whatever.

What the hell is a Mahometan? An Albanian?

Mahometanism is devil-worshipping religion founded by the pedophile Mahomet sometime A.D. in the 6th century.

Please! Leave religion out of this!

All I care about is the innocent hostages being released.

It is the Mahometan's violent cultural nature that leads to situations like these throughout the world.

That's very interesting.

Also off the topic, since religion was not mentioned once in this thread or the actual article.

Unless being an Albanian is now a religion...?

Yes, it is. The ethnic divisions in the region are based primarily on religion.

Abadon ship! Erm, I mean topic! *walks the plank into the General Oceal Sea*

The conflict has been resolved for some time if you had not checked your own link, whose headline read:
Greek bus hijacking ends peacefully

So being Albanian is a religion? It's a yes or no question. Not that hard.

Thank you for bringing attention to me that this terrible incident has come to an end.

It doesn't mean I still like you

So being Albanian is a religion? It's a yes or no question. Not that hard. Hmm, apparently stating it outright was still not obvious enough for you.
Maybe I need to put it big font for you? ;)

Muslims are not the only people who commit terrorism. Not all muslims are terrorist. What about the U.S.? Invading Iraq, overthrowing governments ranging from Iran to Guatemala, to Chile. Supporting brutal dictators; Sadam, the Shah, Pinochet. Training death squads, ex Nicaragua and El Salvador in the 1980's. Islam does not have a monopoly on terrorism. Just remember the U.S. is the only nation to ever have been convicted of State Terrorism by the International Court of Justice.

From the sounds of it, religion had nothing to do with the hijacking. All it was, was about money. If you look at the definition of terrorism, violence for the intent of gaining money does not count.

This world has been on an extremely anti-muslim kick ever since 9-11. People forget that Christianity has just as violent of a history as islam does. Did anyone learn about the crusades? Or how about Manifest Destiny in America that helped americans justify the genocide of native americans?

Yes, there are problems within islam. What religion doesn't have problems. You guys have all heard about the fundamentalist christians who bomb abortion clinics, right?

Calling people names, ex. Mahometans, will not make peace, it will only divide the people further. This is not a time for divisiveness, it is a time for peace and understanding.

Hookahville, if only there were more people in the world like you

The Crusades were valiant expeditions of courage in response to the Mahometans' brutal mistreatment of Christians and desecration of holy sites in the Holy Land. Christianity has always responded compassionately to those being oppressed, such as in the case of the Mahometans' violent activities in the Land.
