Germany - It's who you are not what you do

People will continue to be "surprised" until they learn that Muslim terrorist want to kill you, not for what you do, but for what you are - infidels.

BERLIN - A Lebanese student suspected of planting a train bomb that failed to explode had contacts in Hamburg, authorities said Tuesday, the latest link to the northern port city where three of the Sept. 11 suicide pilots prepared for their attacks.

The planned attack here stunned Germans who thought the country's vehement opposition to the Iraq war would insulate it from becoming a terror target almost five years after the attacks on Washington and New York.

It has nothing to do with Afghanistan or Iraq - 9/11 came before both of those wars. In fact, so did the embassy bombings, the first attack on the WTC in 1993 and the attack on the USS Cole.
