That has got to be a bad way to die. You really have to hate someone to kill them with a sword.

I'd say get rid of the Bible. It's by far the deadlier weapon.

What i wonder is.....why is it, whenever some whackjob goes after someone with a sword, the sword involved is almost always called a "samurai sword" by the media?

People like to picture a crazy samurai
not an old man brandishing a steak knife

Cause people in the media are, in general, a bunch of clueless numbnuts who know nothing about this sort of stuff. I can remember Wolf Blitzer (sp?) as news anchor for CNN when he would time after time after time get absolutely everything wrong about what ever form of weapon or hardware he was discussing at the time.

Anyhow I agree, ban all the holy books as they are constantly used by people as an excuse to be real <censored> to each other.

Was the "swords into plowshares" passage ripped out of the guy's bible?

Nahh, better than banning books is banning the idiots who use the books for their ****ed up behaviour!

For the same reason someone shoots someone with a semi-automatic rifle that looks like a military weapon and they call it an "Assault Rifle"

Ignorance.

And deliberate ignorance because they refuse to learn the proper meanings in order to instill an emotional response.

Granted. However it is easier to convert a semi-auto into full-auto than to convert a cheap junk blade into a katana!

Along with all the other religious texts.

Bibles don't kill people.
People kill people.

People don't kill people, you could put two people beside each other without a brain and they would do nothing.

Belief systems kill, hate, racism, greed, religion.

You think radical muslims just kill people for the heck of it.

People kill other people without a reason all the time. Religion might provide a handy excuse but if that weren't available any other excuse would do just as well.

As the song says: "I once killed a man in Reno just to watch him die".

People whose faith must be suspect if they believe their omnipotent God needs their help so badly. That seems an ultimate conceit to my eye, but is more likely a manefestation of mental illness.
