You know, with the recent announcement that IRA is no longer a threat and ETA which is in cease-fire, in negotiations with Spanish goverment, are there any terrorist organisations left whose members are not muslim?

In the US we've got the Montana Militia and the Klan, just to name a few.

I think it would piss the Tamil's off if we forgot about them...

Here you go, here's a list from the State Department, and there's some non-Muslim groups.

The issue in Sri Lanka is one of a civil war, I think. Do you think Americans who were fighting for independece were terrorists?

It lists IRA, for starters. Not up to date.

No ... but I'm sure someone did.

How would I know, I'm studying international, not domestic, terrorism.

Although, if you count in OK City, at eleven years ago, it's a couple'a hundred.

I think a two or three days grace period is not too much to ask for...

There's plenty of active killing groups throughout Africa and Asia and South America that are not Muslim.

There's still a lot of other non-Mulism groups in there. I'm sure they are still around.

Go play with another thread.

Terrorism is a tactic that is often employed by those who fight against the powerful, not the act of fighting against the powerful itself. Don't make that mistake.

But you were the one claiming Tamil Tigers were terrorists. Next time, dont conflict yourself at least within 1 page.

Isn't terrorism defined in terms of actions, not aims?
