The New Terrorists

Captain's Quarters: The New Terrorists

"Molotov cocktails left on doorsteps. Bombs placed under cars at the homes of
targets. Death threats in public communiques. Are these new tactics for al-Qaeda
or Hezbollah? In fact, they're part of the new offensive by animal-rights
activists targeting the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA, and only incompetence
has kept them from scoring their first kill "


While I understand their concerns, and support their ideas, terror is terror. This is not something that should be condoned or accepted by the public. The FBI and other authorities should regard this form of terror with as much seriousness as it does Islamic terror. Threats of killing and killings are not the way that changes take place in a democracy. A democracy is based on the strength of ideas, if your ideas are strong, then you don't need terror.
