Terror and Democracy
IL MANIFESTO , August 12, 2005

One particular sentence----shrouded in layers of untruth--- is constantly repeated: ?We shall not permit these attacks to change our way of life.? One purpose of this mantra is to convince the public that the terrorists are crazed Muslims who are bombing modernity/democracy/freedom/ ?our values?, etc.
