yyyup, you're probably right,
I have not heard if this is being done in the name of "Ala" or just for the sake of terror.
I echo what Yorick is saying though. We all seem to get thrown into the same "religious" pot.
Christianity has made a bad name over the centuries with the atrocities committed in the name of God. I think we have learned a lot since then and it does not happen any more: except for the odd extremists, which we must always be wary of.
I don't know what these people are after. I wonder if most of them know it themselves.
The only real good thing (if you can call it that) is that is reminds me of how lucky I am to live here in Canada. Even my customer (they are all in the US) said yesterday "you never here anything bad happening in Canada".
Of course we have violence of sorts every day, but I know what she meant.
I can certainly empathize with you Felix. These stories really make my blood boil. I hate guns; I don't even like to touch them, but when hear this sort of thing, it does make me want to "take up arms".
But, I choose the latter. I pray and hope for peace. I pray I understand what has taken these people to the point where they would kill another human being. I can't even kill a bug; 'cept mosquito's..
