Current mood: sick
there's been so much terrorism around lately. in these past couple of days there have been houses and apartments searched just to find ammunition, shotgun shells, heavy artillery, home made explosives and, scariest of all, plans to blow up and destroy areas of heavy foreign presence. this meant embassies, certain resteraunts and coffee houses and, you guessed it, private american and british schools.

i don't understand what's going through these people's heads. i'm not scared, it's about that. i don't feel threatened at all for some reason. but i'm confused. i wish i could understand what was happening. why are muslims killing other muslims in the name of islam? it just doesn't make sense to me. no foreigners have been hurt or killed or even inconvenienced. four policemen have died, and five are in hospitals with gunshot wounds.

i don't understand it.

my mother left last night to hajj, the holy pilgrimage required of every muslim once in a lifetime to mecca. while we were in the car driving her to the airport, we got the news that the saudi arabian government was spreading out 50,000 soldiers to "protect the pilgrims". it should make me feel better, but it doesn't.

i have a bad feeling.

i want to have a chatroom discussion with all of us, and i want to talk about this. how do you combat these people? what can you do when people are so incessant and stubborn, brainwashed to kill at all costs, and unafraid to kill themselves to further their cause? you can't go into a country, pluck out the "good" people and then blow the "evil" ones to hell, it doesn't work. you can't put the terrorists in jail because you can't even find them, and even if you did.... there'd always be more. shit, i don't even know what terrorists want. all we ever hear about is what they do, but i want to know why they do it. is it just that they want americans out of the arab world? they want nothing to do with western civilization? then why do they come live here? i don't get it! i can understand if they want people to stop invading their countries and forcing ways of life on them that they don't want.... but are we supposed to let asshole dictators who torture their people stay in power? people being raped and beaten is not right. how do you respect another country, another culture... and yet help them without pissing them off? some people want help, some don't. what do we do? if dictators and presidents and terrorists all hate each other, they ought to just fight like real men. jump in a boxing ring, and fight. beat the hell out of each other and kill each other all you want. but leave the rest of us non-greedy people who just want to live out of fit. stop being pansies and blowing up innocent people and children.
