Cypezokyli , the honour killing in London of the young woman , which incidentally was condemned by communities across all sections , was perpetrated by people who share the ideology of the suicide bombers , and the philosophy that their barbaric act is an honourable one. The similarity doesn't end there. The culture is very similar to that of the London bombers who given the same circumstances would have carried out the same act.
I do not make any excuses what so ever when it comes to premeditated and intentional targeting of innocent people by any force. I supported wholeheartedly the allied action againstYougoslavia , (remember that the Greek world was against such action ) because the Christians were deliberately and intentionally targeting innocent Muslims.I would not make any comparisons then and I do not make any now. The rape and killing of another human is revolting and barbaric. Full stop.
When I come across people who say to me , Yes I condemn the suicide bombers but what else can they do ?
This analogy is tantamount to supporting such acts, whether these acts take place in Baghdad , London , Madrid or any where else.You are correct in "oil , geostrategic interests ", I never doubted their importance and I agree that these interests must be protected by the west .
