That is a racist view. These comments sparks rage then to many Islam believers and some of them go and make extreme acts.

Yes, but you won't see other religions blowing themselves up around the world on a daily basis. Christianity is one of the most berated religions and you can clearly see it even here on the forums, and for some reason atheist fanatics usually go after Christianity, not after Islam, yet there's little to none Christian fundamentalism.

I'll be hard pressed to remember the times Christianity has been used as a motivation to bring down two skyscrapers and kill thousands of people at least in the last 20 years. Christians get offended too when people speak crap about Jesus, but they don't go on murderous rampages.

It's not for a lack of Christian religious extremism; it just doesn't usually get labeled as such, especially in the current administration or past political climates where it has emerged. The Klu Klux Klan (full name for those bastards) has always espoused itself a Christian organization. The cross wasn't always a part of the ceremony, but the symbol isn't just there for shits and giggles.

The KKK was the most funded, nationally accepted terrorist organization in the United States. It lobbied, it even got tax breaks. Used to march down main streets with kids and ladies, waving and smiling. And burn a cross that same night in someone's yard, to scare them. That's the latter KKK, the former KKK, circa Jim Crow, actually burned you or hung you in your yard. If that's not the definition of terrorism, I don't know what is.

Terrorism is indeed a problem, but political parties are using this talking point to advance their agendas, hence all the rhetoric you hear floating around. The scapegoat that advances the agenda will be the 'issue', its easy to rally voters behind something that is a seeming black/white choice, when there are always shades of grey.

People will use any half baked excuse to force their views/will on unwilling others, religion is just a really popular method Wink

any person that would perpetrate something like this is obviously not a man of God.

I will say, now that the victims of terror are the majority, terror is a very big deal Wink

interesting.
