Moses was a Terrorist
Ahh, don’t you love using emotionally charged words to get people to sit up and pay attention?
 But think about it for a second: Moses and Yahweh seem to have formed the first documented “axis of evil,” bringing suffering and death to the innocent civilian population of Egypt. Their stated purpose? To force a political leader to make a decision based on fear rather than the good of his people. This looks like Terrorism to me. What do you think? |

A terrorist is defined by the means, not by the goals. A freedom fighter who uses terror is still a terrorist, no matter how his actions may be understandable.
On a lighter side, see this Detox's article on terrorism in Egypt. Mike Rosoft |
