Let's Remember: Not All Terrorists are Muslims

I've written about this sort of thing before ("Tamil Terror? Bomb Blows up Bus in Sri Lanka" (January 16, 2008)), and probably will again.

This time, a woman in Sri Lanka blew herself up at a railway station, taking about a dozen people with her. It looks like Tamil Tiger rebels - members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam - arranged the killings. The Tamil Tigers say they've got a secular goal: an independent state for Tamil people.

A lesson here is that terrorism isn't an Islamic monopoly, it's not even necessarily connected to religion, and certainly isn't limited to the Middle East, Europe, and America.
