Suicide Bombers are now called Homicide Bombers.

[General X]

The White House has now changed the 'name' of the terrorist bombers from 'suicidal' to 'homicidal' bombers, which I believe is more accurate. They are not just committing suicide, they are murdering people in the process. So from now on, I think they will be called homicidal bombers, but of course some people will stick to calling them 'suicidal'. As for me, I will call them homicidal.

Just something small I found interesting

I'm geussing from your smile that you view this as a major breakthrough for the Israeli government. Truly remarkable achievement, the world will never doubt your stance again-the creditibilty has just shot through the roof.

It is an important distinction. The bombers are murderers, the prior term implies that there is honor in what they do, there is not. Please note that if the bombers only attacked soldiers I would still be angry, but I would shrug my shoulders and say that at least they are going after a "semi-legitimate" target.

What they do is murder- if there is justice in the world they will be punished- here or elsewhere.

A good idea which should have appeard a long time ago. The main purpose of the homicidal bombers are to kill as many people as possible in public places, while someone called a suicide bomber makes most people outside of Israel think "oh poor man, he was so desperate that he killed himself..."

It's a total different perspective which can make people point their finger to the real murders instead to those who are blamed for using "excessive force".

[muslim4israel2]

Yes I think its safe to say that with a Goliath of a PR victory under its belt, Israel can relax slightly, knowing that the monumental impact being choosy with words will have on the ground is in their favour.

Such able politicians on both sides.

I don't share the same appreciation you do for saddist sarcasm. Muslim4, tell me what is more important when defining a bomber... that he has killed himself.... or that he has, by killing himself, killed dozens of innocent men women and children and dashing the lives and hopes of countless others? Definitions are important. It's how you see and interpret things. And your actions are always based on interpretations.

[muslim4israel2]

Do much defining and not enough actions are the problem.

Sarcasm? Moi?

I shudder at the thought!

[bakuda]

you have to define what the problem is first before you can take action.

I have met several Muslims on the Internet and, so far, they all seem to play the same game: "Guess what I really think?"

Why can't you be straightforward and simply state your opinions? People might think you are ashamed of something... Why do you present yourself as "4Israel" when it is clear you are not?

This is like Arafat's "condemnations" of terrorist attacks. It is simply a cat and mouse game in which he issues a phony condemnation. The trick is to make it look like a condemnation to the West and hope that his followers understand the real message.

Is dissembling one of the pillars of Islam?

[muslim4israel2]

What have I said to meet such a scaving attack full of burning attacks on my character and integrity.

My opinions are clear, moderate and in favour with 99.999% of people who meet me. Then again, I geuss unless I join the IDF I must be anti Israel right?

[Ezra]

So, what do you want to call them, Muslim? Martyrs?

Don't feel shame of saying "Yes". Sheikh Al-Azhar (the head of the highest ranked Islamic Institute in the world) had just confirmed that once again last night on the Egyptian TV.

[muslim4israel2]

No, Ezra buddy, dont assume.

I call them RETALIATORY TERRORISTS-they spread terror, but retaliate to the terrors of the IDF.

I am a pacifist.

I don't assume.. I just quoted the words of the most prestigious Islamic institution in the world.

[muslim4israel2]

I represent myself.

[Ezra]

... and he represents Islam.
