Muslims don't wear turbans, the traditional head covering is called a Kufi (aka Tagiyah in Saudi Arabia) over this some may opt to wear the traiditonal scarf (Ghutra) as well.

The turban is worn by Sikhs, another religion entirely.

Exactly, and I knew that, thats why it was even funnier because it further poured scorn on those in power and their inability to recognise seperate racial and religious groupings.

Quite.

Terrorist is a matter of opinion. We could claim our current government is based upon terrorists: Beheaded Kings anyone?

Well, i have a question, maybe it is even philisophical, but here it is;

Can you be a terrorist if you are an elected leader? Surely Hamas were terrorists but now are not as they are legitimately elected. Surely Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist not just for his actions but that fact he is attempting to seize power by force at the expense of innocent lives when no one has elected him and he is only popular with a tiny minority. Sadly a minority who commit mass murders for him.

ok, thats more then ONE question i know, sorry...

In my opinion, yes, you are. A terrorist is one who inflicts terror on others by violent or threatening means.

I can think of one or two Western leaders (no prizes offered for guessing) who can safely be called terrorists.
