Terrorism is a wonderful word, honest...

Some rather choice comments here, but let's take one, shall we:
"There are cultural differences in different countries, what is acceptable in one is not in another. For instance in France it is acceptable to smoke at a bar, here the PC nanny state Gestapo will prevent it.In a certain faith it is expected that everyone benefits from a deal, this is not to them corruption, therefore who are we judge, how pretentious!This is not the only enquiry that was scotched, anyone remember "Cash for Honours"
Confusus Theytry, WALES, United Kingdom"

Fantastic. So when ordinary Muslims try to go about their everyday lives, they have murder and terrorism shouted in their faces, but when it comes to the Saudis, suddenly it's a matter of "cultural difference" and we shouldn't be bothered?
Cognitive dissonance anybody?
But oh well, everyone knows that buying pirate DVDs so obviously funds Al-Qaida, whereas the country where the majority of the 9/11 hijackers came from is obviously our bestest friend in the whole wide world.
