what's a terrorist?

who's a terrorist?

is a military terrorist too?

is law enforcement and police?

is it about ideology or revenge?

is it about perspectives and opinions?


please explain...

As they say, one man's terrorist is
another man's freedom fighter. Who ever wins the battle will write the history.

But anytime a group or a person threatens civilians in particular with death in order to achieve their cause, you could probably label them a terrorist.

Basically, if I killed three people, regardless of the reason, I'd be a terrorist. The whole Muslim community would be held accountable for said terrorist attack and any religious affiliation I have would be from and center in the front page of every paper.

If TRUE LIBERTY did the very same however, it would be a lone wolf attack by a crazed indivudual, possibly motivated/justified by a parking space.

That would depend on the motivation behind the killings.

You'd think so, but no.
You don't need to flick too far into a paper to work that one out.

Not exactly. If there were tens of thousands of atheist conservatives around the world blowing up things, chopping heads off and keeping a 100 million or more women in slavery then you would have something there.

There are.
They may not be organised in a group, but there are!

People from all groups do these things.
It's a human problem. Not a religious one...


(Well, it is a religious one, if it makes a good news article...)

Really? What band of roving conservative atheist's are rampaging across a country leaving death and destruction in there path.

Where are these conservative atheists oppressing a 100 million women from being allowed to do the basic things in life like driving or being allowed to wear the clothing of there choice?

Hell give me any religion besides one that seems to have violent and integrating issues on almost every Continent. The closest thing we would have to that are the militant environmentalists causing havoc. Or the atheist dictators running countries like North Korea, Cuba and China.

It is a religious problem but the ones from that religion who have no part in it's ugly side won't speak out against the evil in there religion for whatever reason. And to much of the rest of the world is worried about offending a religion rather then speaking out against how far and wide it has gone bad.

First of all I'd like to say congratulations on that big fat red herring.

As for an example I will say that Christians wreaked havoc in North and South America, Asia, Europe (obviously), Africa, and Australia.

Really? Care to give examples of them doing that in the 20the and 21st century.

Just waiting on the examples for you to share that even comes close to the violence of todays radical Islam. And even though it is not a religion the closest thing would be Atheists out doing any religion for mass murder.

 

[#assassin]

okay just because some crazy fucked in the head muslims aka isis are doing some really terrible things does not make islam a terrorist religion nor does it make muslims inherently bad people
oh but then when those horrible acts are commited by christians "oh it was just one guy/group"

 

[+paradox]

america killed a million innocent people in iraq and other countries in the past 15 years...

most young people in the military at that time or joined and went to war were mostly religious...

and care to guess which religion was the dominant religion out of them all? christianity/catholic...

@"true liberty", your beef with the muslims doesn't hold any water, any which way you want to go with it you'll get shot down one by one with truth...

According to the original question of what religion has harmed people in multiple continents (w/o time restriction) Christians committed multiple genocides in Africa, Australia, and the Americas.

but then his argument would be that was a long time ago, the past is the past...

yet, they love to try to discredit an argument by saying that was in the past when it goes against them but when they have something in his favor, the past comes out and well...

Yeah, it's pretty easy to move the goal posts, but I'm not letting that happen.

In the 20th and 21st century I think not.
