Islam and Terrorism

Making "Islam" Synonymous with "terrorism." by Glenn Greenwald.

Well stated in his assertion that "[O]ne would get the sense from listening to our standard political discourse that "Terrorism" and "Islamic-inspired Terrorism" are synonymous.  It's the kind of myth-based demonization that is as familiar as it is false, dangerous and repugnant."

We, as a nation, seem to demonize a particular minority from era to era and are so self-righteous about it that we never see the error in our ways.  Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.
