Christian Terrorism Denial

Post Reply New Topic

I've been seeing people posting about how Islam is the only terrorist group out there. They claim: “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.”


But that's a flat out lie, and even after I posted evidence proving it wrong, I got this reply:

I'm pretty sure most terrorists in groups like the IRA or the Basque ETA aren't Muslims. If they actually profess any religion at all, they're most likely to be Christians, and they come from historically Christian cultural backgrounds.

Muslims top the list when it comes to terror, followed by leftists. We seldom hear of terror attacks conducted by followers of other religions or ideologies, but it happens from time to time.

I agree. Just look at the rabid, savage settler violence by orthodox jews in the West Bank, all in the name of their Torah. Look at the violence done by Christian militias in the Central African republic and Uganda, or the violence against the Muslims in Burma.

As far as the US and Europe are concerned, over 90% of terrorist attacks are not done by Muslims. The majority of Islamic extremists are attacking places in the Middle East. There are also some in Africa. Christian extremists can be found all over, mainly in the US, but also in China, India, and Africa. Even the Buddhists have terrorist cells.

I won't dispute the level of Muslim extremists compared to other terrorists in the world (this site claims over 20,000 attacks since 9/11) but I don't understand the blatant denial by some people that any other type of terrorist exists. Why don't we talk about it?

Some people were rather adamant that Anders Breivik was not Christian, or that he wasn't motivated by his faith, but reading his manifesto, he talks about preserving Christianity, and how he would pray to God for help during his attacks. Others called him a "fundamentalist Christian." We can say "Oh they're not really Christian because they're don't act like it, or they don't believe like I do." But does that make them believe they're any less Christian? I could say a lot of people aren't "real Christians" just based on the way they act, but they sure believe they are.

Maybe because the media makes money off of fear mongering and it's easier to use Muslims to cause the fear rather than have people believe that we have "homegrown" terrorists right here (if you get away from the religious terrorists, you can look at the animal and earth liberation fronts, haha).

Terrorism is a worldwide phenomenon not only limited to the United States. Terrorism in the United States is a mixed bag, while muslims and leftists are responsible for most of the terrorist attacks on a global scale.

26k+ islamic terror attacks?

extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Someone needs to make with the citations.

Just because someone is a terrorist and Muslim doesn't mean they're doing it out of religious fervor, likewise for Christians or whoever else. Someone like Eric Rudolph would be considered "Christian terrorist" whereas Timothy McVeigh may been raised Catholic but didn't commit his acts of terrorism for any religious reason. Islam has a real problem right now with violent religious fundamentalists, Christianity and almost any other long established world religion has gone thru stages like that as well. In modern times tho it does seem that, unfortunately, when you hear terrorism it usually means Islamic terrorism.

Zero Christian acts of terrorism?

I highly doubt it.
