Chechnia (don't know spelling, but that's what it sounds like.)\n\nThey are Muslims who want to form their own country, but Moscow won't let them go. Russians have been killing them for years. Terrorism is all they have to fight with.  I believe they have oil there.

Any religion in which its clerics encourage its members to strap on bombs and blow up innocents along with themselves isn't what I would refer to as good.  I have no doubt that there are alot of good peaceful followers of Islam out there but as long as they permit these extremists to hijack their religion people will continue to assume that Muslims are evil.  I don't see the out cry of Muslims, the anger that these extremists are dishonoring all followers of Islam.  All I see is them making excuses for them and their actions... Just once I would love to hear a Muslim at the very least say, Yes they are wrong and I am ashamed of them.

I've always been horrified that the American Public only talks about Muslim Terrorists and completely denies that there are Christian Terrorists...\n\nWhen you ask, "What about Christian Terrorists?"  The immediately say..."There isn't one!  Name one then!"  I can name several...\n\nTimothy McVeigh, Uni Bomber...Really there's a long list but i haven't had my coffee!  :)

There is, and cannot be, true "freedom of religion".  If someone believes that their religion requires them to murder others, this will not be allowed.\n\nInteresting that islamic terrorists fall neatly into that category, but it is not just them.  Christians who bomb abortion clinics, Satanists who believe in human sacrifice, and others will have their freedom of religion curtailed.

I dont think any religion widely accepted by rational people is or can be.  By definition terrorism is to instill terror in ones enemies.  Most religions I know of want us to accept our neighbors not terrorize them

Of course... But, in this case, there is a plenty of people that being so radical. But, honestly, Islam don't support any kind of terrorism.

Terrorism is a wide concept that has been used throughout the ages, by the powerful to oppress the weak. It has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. In fact, I believe most of the writings in the Qu'ran are similar in one way or another to Christianity and Judaism, and I'm a Catholic myself. Here's the definition of terrorism from Encyclopedia Britannica:\n\n" The systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. Terrorism has been practiced by political organizations with both rightist and leftist objectives, by nationalistic and religious groups, by revolutionaries, and even by state institutions such as armies, intelligence services, and police."\n\nA good example of an authority or state using terror to achieve "victory" (just like that fake Muhammad quote you posted) is France after the revolution in 1789, Robespierre executed hundreds of possible political enemies and innocent people, thus inflicting  fear in the population. Another good example of a state promoting terrorism is the United States of America. Want examples? The A-bombs in Japan, the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the funding of anti-soviet guerrilla groups in Afghanistan (Osama Bin Laden was in one of those groups), the funding of the Contra guerrilla in Nicaragua, the sales of weapons to IRAN during the 80's which eventually led to the Iran-Contra Scandal, the funding of anti-goverment and terrorist groups inside Saddam's Iraq during the 90's.

I think it's very much Christianity... both religions are very intollerant of other religions and that's naturally going to be a "sore spot"\n\nI think Americans feel that the terrorists are Muslim "crusaders (perhaps not so much in name, but in action)," if you will, and many muslims believe that the U.S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan are a new "crusade"\n\nWhile no one may really talk about it, I think it exists underneath the actions..

By far most terror world wide is Islamic but there are a few more. I think of the nuts who burn or destroy research institutions if they use animals at all. Things like that. They also are listed as a terror group but there is not nearly as many of them. For those who do not think we are in a very real war with those who are determined to defeat us take a little time to look at the site below.

I saw a special about this on CNN and about all the really fundamentalist Al Qaeda people watch is Tom & Jerry cartoons. Most Muslims though have no more restriction on that than Christians do (or supposed to).

terrorism isnt a thought, its an act. and a networked group of people who infiltrate governments and societies for the purpose of destroying other countries who they claim are against Allah.

yeah I read about the Varanasi blasts, my heart goes out to you guys. \nExtremists are really hard to deal with, I would say that no nation should go without responding to attacks. So the government hsould find the terrorist cells among these people and kill them/arrest them. I know it's easier to say, but well, that's what has to be done. \nIt always upsets me to see power-thirsty leaders twist a religion to make people kill others in the name of it.\n\nADDED:\nand Rev Flavel, people have commited horrific acts in the name of your precious Christianity throughout history and still do, so please....

hmm, there was this thing that happened in our history, what was it,\n\noh yes,  for the last 15 to 1400 years the radical muslim islamic movement has been killing civilians in order to make the whole planet an islamic caliphate,\n\nI could give you the BS answer of September 11 but there is a history on Earth of this movement again and again trying to take over governments,\n\none example that comes to mind is China in 1421, where the progress of that nation that was ahead of the rest of the world 400 years came to a hault, \n\nso it is a threat because of a) I kind of like the progress of science, b) i don't want to worship their fu(king god allah, and c) I kind of like my wife geting an education and getting to go to work and not having to wear no god damned vail, and d) I like voting for my leaders, the american constition, and of course e) my civil liberites, right to trial by jury afforded my via US constitution,\n\nmy advice to the US govt,  find all muslims that want to kill civilians and have the means to do so, money, weapons, and kill them first,\nsecond, convince islamic leaders and leaders in these countries to not spread the seeds of hate, for the true religion is a peaceful one
