Why has Russia never pushed for an international investigation into who organized and financed the attack? @etayah It just so happens that most of the international ethnic conflicts involve Muslims all o different faiths and religions of the world Hindu, Buddhist, Jew, Christian Orthodox and as well as moderate Muslim all supported by mainstream international Muslim organizations and the Muslim community. Most of the time Jews and Muslims support each others objectives and Muslim terror groups. I think slaughtering children, video taping the whole thing for distribution to the Muslim world, whilst shouting “Allah Akbar” constitutes as terrorism.

The term terrorists is bandied about like the term communists in 1950's america in this interview. They are this mysterious world conspiracy lurking in the shadows of every nation, waiting to murder our grandmothers. About the only thing I came away with from this piece was that walid phares has nothing useful to say and is just another american or israeli propagandist instilling hatred and fear about Muslim people.
