NO MAN IS A TERRORIST IF YOU THINK HIS CAUSE IS JUST:

Blood, Guts and Hanukah (Judy Bachrach, NOVEMBER 30, 2010, Obit)

Some time ago, a group of fanatics grew irritated and agitated by the lack of zeal demonstrated by some of their co-religionists, many of them wealthy and educated. A number of these non-zealots were assimilating at a fast pace into modern culture, becoming almost indistinguishable from the elite group that ran it.

These non-zealots began dressing like the elite, naming their children after beefcake warriors rather than famished holy prophets, adopting the religion of the dominant group – and the next thing you knew, one of their assimilated number was slaughtered right in a house of worship because he was praying to an elite deity the zealots didn’t acknowledge. After that there was a zealot revolution, with special emphasis on forcibly circumcising those men whose parents had neglected to do so, and also destroying various offending elite altars. This was followed by a long dismal siege, during which the fruitcakes – I mean the ultra-religious guys -- won.
