Journalist: "M. Ben M'Hidi, don't you think it's a bit cowardly to use women's baskets and handbags to carry explosive devices that kill so many innocent people?"
Ben M'Hidi: "And doesn't it seem to you even more cowardly to drop napalm bombs on defenseless villages, so that there are a thousand times more innocent victims? Of course, if we had your airplanes it would be a lot easier for us. Give us your bombers, and you can have our baskets."These acts of terror were articulated juxtaposed to the French occupation's show of force (French military terrorism).
Recently Muslim extremists have been attacking Christian communities in lands such as Egypt and Nigeria. The Egyptian Coptic Christians predate the expansion of Islam and are a minority living within Islamic majority Egypt. The suicide bombings against this old community have not the slightest justification even based on the Algerian model. Algerians were natives fighting foreign invaders, in Egypt this attack is simply a hate crime of a grotesque magnitude. Other countries where this is happening can also be cited. These Muslim terrorists are inspiring Islamophobia throughout the world. It should be kept in mind that there are many Muslims who condemn these acts of violence. This clip is just one example.

To go beneath the level of self defense is psychotic. It (the bomb in the basket) is merely self defense by extension as was the killing of the Egyptian by Moses in the book of Genesis.
The mistake is to compare the bomb in basket to napalm: the correct comparison is the bomb in the basket to terror i.e. war of attrition, war of making one's environment unlivable until one dies, systematic ideological violence until one believes becoming a Western bourgeoisie (i.e. one who values life in the borough or protected enclosure above all else) is the Good itself.
