Moslem's acknowledge the willful, uncorruptable, rebellious personality of Jesus--standing up for the oppressed, weak and poor (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

We already have enough terms that define the actions of "terrorist" like murder, kidnapping, burglary, plunder, and so on. What is the difference if you killed someone for (...)

| Lar, I read your post about what a terrorist is: "I would tend to say it's a person or group using violence against bystanders as a way to make a political point or get a political outcome." By your definition, here's a list of "terrorists" for you: (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

How about when one side is a nation that says it wants to exterminate a certain religion's adherents and the other side is an almost weaponless group of members of that religion in the inner city of an occupied capital of a country that nation (...)

| Richard, Wow, that was an excellent post! Yes, I agree that we should remember all the victims of the Holocaust. I feel it does justice to the memory of the Jewish victims when we don't single them out, because doing so creates a hipocrisy. When (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| Hi Shiri! I liked your post very much, especially the part about the personal accounts of Jewish families during the Holocaust. Big numbers can mean nothing if we never hear the personal stories of those who suffered or died. When I read the "Diary (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
