No. Unacceptable.
The point is not that you have given 'them' a label that is over the top, it is that you have given diverse groups one label.
I don't accept that Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraq insurgents, the Sadr brigades, the London bombers, Amrozi etc. etc. etc. are all in the same group to start with, nor do any reasonable people I've come across. It's this oversimplification on your part - which then is used to suggest that someone who (for instance) supports the Sudanese government also supports the Bali bombings (because they are apparently the 'same group') that is getting you into your muddle in the first place.
Perhaps you should, in future, clearly define WHY you believe person X holds position Y and research the specific reasons for that belief.
"From Bali to Thailand to the Middle East to the suburbs of Paris to New York City" are groups with political motivations, every one unique and often-times at odds with other.
You're the first person to charge into the Theology forum and slag everyone off, then you're the first person to put your head in the clouds and look for simplistic supernatural explanations when political ones are readily available.
I've seen Poptart kick your arse on this in a big way ^ several times. He 'gets it'.
What you generally post are baseless accusations, oversimplified characterisations and bizarre strawmen. My suggestion is that if you want to make something of this matter you target SPECIFIC groups, make sure you've clarified their position and then explain why you consider that specific position wrong.
