Terrorist or Prophet?

"But our words have no impact upon you, therefore I'm going to talk to you in a language that you understand. Our words are dead until we give them life with our blood.
"I'm sure by now the media has painted a suitable picture of me, this predictable propaganda machine will naturally try to put a spin on it to suit the government and to scare the masses into conforming to their power- and wealth-obsessed agendas.
"I and thousands like me are forsaking everything for what we believe. Our driving motivation doesn't come from tangible commodities that this world has to offer. Our religion is Islam, obedience to the one true God, Allah and follow in the footsteps of the final prophet and messenger Muhammad.
"This is how our ethical stances are dictated. Your democratically elected governments perpetuate atrocities against my people and your support of them makes you responsible, just as I am directly responsible for protecting and avenging my Muslim brothers and sisters.
"Until we feel security, you'll be our target. Until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment and torture of my people, we'll not stop this fight. We are at war and I am a soldier. Now you too will taste the reality of this situation."
Whilst I abhore violence and the targeting of "the innocent", this dude has a point. The US and UK threw away their rights to the moral high ground when they committed terrorist atrocities in Iraq, and the US in particular through their insidious capitalist takeover of the globe. Capitalism is become the religion of business and Islam must fight this crusade just as it fought the christian invaders from the tenth century onwards.
There are no longer "innocents" or "civilians" in war. And we are at war. One cannot declare war on a foreign power illegally and then not expect them to fight back through any means necessary. the war in Iraq isn't even over, with a few hardy freedom fighters, also branded "terrorists", holding firm against the evil oppressors. Anyone that supported the war on iraq is as guilty as any soldier or politician. Anyone who opposed it failed in their duty and must accept the acts of reprisals and prove their point correct. People are idiots. They fail to see the truth of this man's words. Fault lies with the Blairite government for the London bombings, not with the muslim community or a few so-called terrorists.
Whilst I also hate to think of the poor folk suffering in New Orleans, as it is the poor black families hit hardest and with Bush in the Whitehouse little chance of help from the barely concealed redneck Klan member he is. However, one cannot help but think of Allah - maybe it is the start of some divine retribution? I don't believe in that sort of thing really, but the two towers, london bombings and now this, you can't help but wonder - do we not deserve this?
Religion may be a feeble excuse for people to be extremely shitty to each other, but sometimes the Muslims have a point.

Im from Iraq, and what my family think is that those people who say they are fighting the war in this country should not go and kill innocent people here but should go and fight the occupying forces in Iraq (if they realy are that brave) because ultimately, the soldiers in iraq are the ones who are killing and imprisoning people indiscriminately and carpet bombing whole cities and are the cause of the lack of water and electricity in the country. And that is what Islam teaches.... Whenever the muslims were in battle the prophet used to command that no innocent people were killed, no women or children to be harmed and do not harm even a tree.Only fight those who fight you and do not be the ones that start the fight. So those that kill innocent people... such as the ones responsible for 9.11 and 7.7, are terrorist and, in an islamic point of you, they will go to hell. However those that are fighting the soldiers in Iraq for the sake of freeing iraq of occupation are freedom fighters and not terrorists.
