Don`t let Ballu dampen your spirits. This is a brilliant article. The only more impressive achievement is this entire ``equal-equal`` school of thought.

So terrorists are equated to policemen, to politicians, to accidents, to philosophers, to states - all such equations being real cases, found right here on Chowk!

So the only thing that detracts from your achievement, Ali, is that it is not just you... :(

How can you compare:

A person who accidently kills another person in a road accident with the Islamist Relgious Freak who kills because he considers the victim as someone who does not deserve to live ??

Mens rea is of the paramount importance in evaluating the deparavity of an act like homicide.

Not all homicides deserve equal punishments. Not all homicides amount to mruder.

Terrorism is not merely homicide or murder. It is worse- a desire to impose a depraved fascist ideology on persons.

Why do Islamists post such childish articles on the Chowk??
