It’s off-topic, but, Curious Cat, you’re not seriously saying that terrorism is a strictly Muslim thing, are you? The world is bigger than the Middle East. Even there, though, is each and every Maronite in Lebanon innocent? Have individual Christians not committed heinous acts many times over? Ever heard of the IRA? Shall we take a look at paramilitaries in Latin America? How about bombing abortion clinics in the US?
It all comes down to your definition of terrorism, but if we take it as being violence used to strike fear into the hearts of people in the pursuit of an end, then “terrorists” are a group that includes people of all religion and no religion.
It looks like you’re setting up a very narrow focus, specifically Islamist terrorism in attempt to exempt Christians. It’s also unfair of you to use assumptions of A.Alaalas’s reasoning in order to justify what is eesentially and ad hominem dig. There’s nothing in his comment to suggest the bigotry of which you accuse him.
Back to the topic:
What interests me is the role of manga and anime in this streak of violence in Japan. Is it time for censorship? I hear of pornographic manga and see what I see any time I Google any given Japanese female first name and hear of (probably nonexistent) used panty vending machines, then I hear of censorship of videos and magazines. What impact does pop culture have on these guys?
What are the censorship rules in Japan?
