'Bad Terrorist' and 'Good Terrorist'
Writing in the Journal of Turkish Weekly, Ömer Yilmaz and Ihsan Bal notes that, It was thirty years ago when the Afghan mujahids were the heroes of the Western countries due to their struggle against Soviet Russia. And the retreat of Soviets from Afghanistan was celebrated by these countries as the victory of democracy, liberty and freedom against Communism and coercion and etc. As the time past, these mujahids became terrorists: A terrorist, whom declared to be one of the most dangerous threats against the global security... A terrorist, who showed his bloody face clearly in New York, Istanbul, Bali, Madrid, Cairo and lastly in London... A organized crime organization all over the world to an extent that could never be achieved. And a terrorist, who was fed, trained and financed by the targets he hit...
The writers said, "Killing innocents either by cruise missiles or suicide bombs cannot be accepted and must be cursed."
