Christians are really no better. They try to force people to live the same way they do. Abortion? Stem-cell research? How about evolution being taught in school? They use violence, too. Radical Christians have in the past BOMBED abortion clinics because "it defies the word of god". Really now? Then you're just as bad as the radical Muslims, since they too say "it's the word of god".

Cases of Christian terrorism:
[1] http://www.commonplacebook.com/curre...ian_terro.shtm (relatively old, but still has some good statistics in it) (from the year 2001) Over 170 abortion clinics and doctors' offices in 14 states and the District of Columbia received threatening letters claiming to contain anthrax. The envelopes had return addresses from the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Marshall Service with postmarks from Atlanta, GA; Knoxville, TN; Chattanooga, TN; or Columbus, OH. The envelopes were also marked, "TIME SENSITIVE: Urgent Security Notice Enclosed." When opened by clinic staff, all letters contained a white powder with a letter stating, "You have been exposed to anthrax. We are going to kill all of you. Army of God, Virginia DARE Chapter." [2] http://www.religioustolerance.org/abo_viol.htm (another good statistical site) [3] http://www.reuters.com/article/domes...19258620070428 (interesting news article) |

Always a couple whackos in any part of the world, but Islam has managed to take it up not 10 notches, but 100. That is the problem. So are you really serious in trying to do a compare here? For real? This could be funny! :D -S |
Terrorism: unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence against people or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies
True with the Muslims on 9/11... not ALL of them... also true for the "Warriors of God" and their abortion clinics. Although, the best case we might have of terrorism in the Christian/Catholic religions stems from the Inquisition era, in which torture, execution, and imprisonment were used to convert the people of Europe under the belief in Jesus Christ as the only Lord and Saviour. During these eras (Spanish Inquisition, Italian Inquisition, etc.), an estimated 100,000 people were imprisoned, tortured, and executed for their beliefs which differed from those that the followers of Christ had. The executed included Jews, Muslims, Pagans, "Heretics", and several other smaller religions that existed throughout the European nations of the time. Not a modern piece of terrorism, but it's what's gotten Christianity/Catholicism to where it is today. Using fear of torture and death, the two religions removed any "non-believers" and only allowed believers to live. The point, which was quite clear, as even the Church stated this was: "Convert or Die". Several thousand died on 9/11, yes that's true. It was a modern event, and it was very terrible. Despite the fact the Inquisition was officially abolished just 174 years ago (1834; making it relatively old), the fact still stands that 100,000 people were tortured to death because of their beliefs. Old, yes, but it's like the Holocaust. Just because it started over 6 decades ago doesn't mean we should forget it and move on. Despite what you may say, the Inquisition was a form of terrorism. |
