Sounds familiar to what the phedz and the prez said about Al Qaeda doesn't it?

Black Panther point #8@

# WE WANT AN IMMEDIATE END TO ALL WARS OF AGGRESSION.
We believe that the various conflicts which exist around the world stem directly from the aggressive desire of the United States ruling circle and government to force its domination upon the oppressed people of the world. We believe that if the United States government or its lackeys do not cease these aggressive wars it is the right of the people to defend themselves by any means necessary against their aggressors.

n.

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

The full expression of this was the violent protest to the brutal police beating of a black man in Watts (Los Angeles), California in the 1965 rebellion that shocked America and set off other such responses to oppression.

So let's see... They have similar views to current Islamic terrorists, they used violence to effect political change, and they broke the law.

I'm not saying they were wrong, but they certainly fit the same bill as these terrorists.
