Good points about AQ though ... they want to scare the public ... not people in office buildings

they would attack stations ... basically any choke point with a lot of joe bloggses heading off to a normal days work.

they want to make the public feel afraid of what their government is doing and in so doing coerce a change in poilicy and generate sympathy through empathy ... attacking the government doesn't really have the same effect because to some degree they are guilty ... unlike Mr Smith the local grocer.

It's not 'obviously muslims' that perpetrated this particular bomb. It's likely, yes, but there are many instances where bombings get wrongly attributed, despite it being 'obvious' who did it. Proof that you COULD be wrong includes:

Northern Ireland, 1969: A bomb blows up a power station in Northern Ireland. It gets attributed to the Irish Republican Army, and the fallout discredits and topples the relatively liberal unionist government of Terence O'Neill, and he's replaced with William Craig, a hardline loyalist. The perpetrators of the bombing turn out to be the Ulster Volunteer Force, loyalist extremists, who would welcome Craig in preference to O'Neill, and whose politics were diametrically opposed to the IRA.

Bologna, Italy 1982. A terrorist bomb kills hundreds of people at a Bologna train station. It's blamed on left-wing extremists, and the police and government launch a crackdown. The bombing later turns out to have been the work of far-right fascists (possibly working with the Italian intelligence services).

Oklahoma bombing, 1995. A bomb rips through a federal government building in Oklahoma City and kills a huge number of people. The press blames Muslim extremists. The culprit turns out to be right-wing American Christian militia members.

Madrid bombing, 2004. A bomb blows up a train and kills hundreds of people, shortly before the 2004 Spanish General election. The government blames ETA, Basque Seperatist guerrillas. The culprit turns out to be Al Qaeda.

As I say, it's likely that muslim radicals planted this bomb, but it's also very possible they didn't, and overzealously blaming bombings on the wrong perpetrators can often have very harmful effects.

Please tell me how its racism.

Its obviously muslims that blow themselves up we all know this, when another bomb goes off we all know a muslim did it its a fact. Please prove me wrong if you can, which I know you cant.

Racism is juding people by their skin color or where they come from, Islam is NOT a race its a political ideology that actually supported nazi-germany and teaches racism, hate against homosexuals and non-believers.
