Join the dots

It's been an interesting week and there have been a few news stories lately which i'll list below. I wonder what the link, or common thread of these stories is?

1. Hostages released
2. 7/7 bombers charged
3. UK troops killed by IED
4. Bombers killed in Casablanca
5. Algerian explosions
6. Bomb attack in Australia foiled
7. Turkish airliner hijacked
8. More troops for Afghanistan from Aus
9. Posecutor in Bangladesh killed
10. Helicopter shot down in Somalia
11. Suicide bomb threat against Pakistan gov

All of the above news stories occcured in separate countries and i'm not suggesting that there is some overarching conspiarcy or organisation responsible but the one word that doesn't appear in my 'headlines' above is 'Islam'.

The religion of peace; yeah right.............
