If one truly believes that terrorists are behind these bombings of such magnitude, one also believe the Western Intelligence agencies have absolutley no influennce in the affairs of powerless states.
Why? I dont see the logical connection.

Groan all you want...groaning will not change the fact that my statement you quoted is not rhetoric. Do you know what rhetoric means? Judging by your use of the word, you may not know what it means. Go to dictionary.com refresh yourself:
As for the rest of your post, I do not have an adopted faith.
I can guarantee that modern day deaths in the name of Christianity out number the deaths caused by Muslim Jihad.

I am not sure why this turned into an (attempt at an) English lesson...but okay...
According to Dictionary.com "(in writing or speech) the undue use of exaggeration or display; bombast."
I think that describes your "The same can be said about EVERY religion Mike." just about perfectly...and that it is the familiar refrain of all Islam apologists.
As for the rest of your post, I do not have an adopted faith.
Double-groan... I meant, and I thought it was obvious, for the purposes of the experiment, you could pick any faith you wanted to, to try to prove your point. But never mind, the challenge was made semi-tongue-in-cheek anyway. This is because no matter which religion you might try to use, you could not pick one which has been responsible for more death and destruction in the name of their Diety, over the last twenty years, than Islam.
I can guarantee that modern day deaths in the name of Christianity out number the deaths caused by Muslim Jihad.
That is quite a guarantee, given that there is no way it can be backed up by fact...at all...even in the slightest.

This group has expunged warlords, many allegedly funded by the US, from much of Somalia and established much order to the once Anarchic Muslim nation. Militant roadblocks which used to extort the citizens on a daily basis have been removed since they took power. Crimes have gone down as a result of swift justice. The sea and airports of Mogadishu have been opened this year for the first time in more than a decade. The group even initially sent out letters to many of the International organizations wishing to establish dialogue and diplomacy.
Even this morning, forces from the transitional federal government of Somalia still continue to assault our station with machineguns while a radio technician is trapped inside.
We are calling both local and international journalist advocacy groups to exert pressure on the government to let that technician be evacuated from the building. We are also calling the international in general and the contact group on Somalia in particular to pressure the government of Somalia guarantee and protect the freedom of expression in Somalia.
