Um Maithe,
2innocent lives???
Don't you mean 99 or more?
Would it have been ok if their IQs were in excess of 140, and how do
you know they weren't willing participants?
In my mind, the article drives home the importance for the world
community to follow a 0% tolerance towards the practitioners of terrorism.
The only problem with such a policy would be, who gets to decide what
constitutes a terrorist act?

Yes Ann, but two innocent lives were lost. They did not choose to
take that path...they were led. These were two women with IQs well
below the norm. They were like children. It was a crime...plain and
simple. A vicious, heartless, and disgusting crime.

Hi all,
<cynical mode>
Yes, it is tragic, it is cruel, and it is, as my mother would have
said, "a shame before God." However, people are like that, and it
isn't even the extremist sects of Islam who are the only
culprits. There are people in this country who fill the ears of
innocent PWD's with propaganda and stir them up and insight them to
demonstrate for causes they truly do not understand. It is one of
the very worst things which human beings can do to each
other. <smiling sardonically> Heck, it doesn't even apply to folks
with disabilities. If your minister tells you that Harry Potter is
bad, then, if you aren't a thinking person, you will believe him or
her, and you will not read it and you will not experience it. Yes,
human beings impose their beliefs upon others on a regular
basis. It's just that in this particular case, we are
shocked. Would that we should be shocked at the less dramatic but
no less insidious brain washing that happens on a daily basis.
