Tell yourself that if it gets you hard. Enjoy! Your claim was that you don't see that among other religions. I've shown that you do...and you've decided to move the goal posts. If you want to claim Islam historically carries most of it, you'll have to provide proof other than your beaten chest. Link to some credible study, I'll take a look. Otherwise, don't forget to clean up the cum when you're done.

Butch Nothing simple and straightforward - like religious determinism - Butch. But, then, the causes of world phenomena are seldom simple and straightforward. For me, the growth of Islamic terrorism is the result of a 'perfect storm' of mainly political and economic factors. Here's an essay on it which I think is well worth a read: http://dougsaunders.net/2013/04/muslim-immigrants-terrorists-jihad-terrorism/ Amongst many things that are debunked is the idea that the more devout a Muslim you are, the more likely you are to turn into a terrorist. In fact, the opposite is nearer the truth. An excerpt: "... The study concluded that four factors were leading to terrorist radicalization: “trauma,” such as the death of a loved one (10% of terror suspects had experienced this); immigration without family members (a third of extremists had “migrated to Britain alone” as students or labourers); “criminal activity” (two-thirds had criminal records); and “prison” (many were radicalized while serving time). Indeed, religious devotion simply does not correlate with violent radicalism. In one study, the Gallup organization examined the 7% of Muslims worldwide who are considered “radical”—that is, who condone the September 11 attacks and view the United States unfavourably—and found that they are no more religious than the general population of Muslims. Pew, in 2008, found that the proportion of non-religious German Muslims who said that “attacks on civilians cannot be morally justified” (94%) was identical to that of religious believers who said the same (94%). In France, it was 94% of religious French Muslims and 82% of the nonreligious; 90% of religious British Muslims and 87% of the nonreligious disapproved of attacks on civilians. Jihadist terrorism became a phenomenon in the West starting in the early 1990s as an extreme political response to the presence of Western soldiers in Islamic lands. It has continued to follow this political path. While this means that adherents must believe in the existence of an inviolate “land of Islam,” it does not mean that they are otherwise the most devout religious believers...."

What about yesterday's 2000 dead in Nigeria along with several villages burnt by Boko Haram? (Anyone wonder if they DO want the young boys as Janissaries?) Seriously, don't you think that if this kind of thing keeps up people might start getting the idea that Islam is violent or something? The point being that while many are trying to use the last two decades to find atrocities from other groups, that does not need to happen so much with the Religion of Peace.

That says nothing about most -- just notable successes. Which religion is the most violent? The analysis presents some challenges. Should the answer be based purely on a body count? Professor Juan Cole casually estimates that Christians chalked up roughly 50 times more violent deaths than Muslims across the past century. That, however, doesn’t necessarily prove that Christianity is more violent. It just demonstrates a high level of efficiency. To answer the question we need more than a raw death toll. When measuring violence, should grievances count as mitigating factors? When a Christian Lebanese militia spent two days in a besieged Palestinian refugee camp raping and slaughtering civilians under Israeli supervision, ought they be excused by the previous Muslim slaughter that inspired it? And should the Muslim slaughter be excused by the Christian slaughter that inspired it? Who is guiltier, the chicken or the egg? A look at each religion’s holy books won’t provide much guidance. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists will all point out the ways their religion embraces compassion, humility, and humanity. They will all be correct. Their detractors will point out the ways their foundation texts promote violence. They will also be correct.

Aside from OKC, Christian terrorism pales in comparison to Muslims acts of terror. I did not list Vietnam as occurring in the US. Even a reactionary does not believe that hot air rises downwards. Nor did I list Iraq as occurring in the US, and before you fuck this all up again, I will not say that the rape of Nanking occurred in the US (however the terroristic killing of native americans and interment of Asians did. As did the lynching and murder of blacks.) Don't tell me shit you have proved yourself innumerate. You can strain at gnats all you want, but I would say that any of these would outdo the current islamic terrorism numbers. But lets hold up and think. Why didnt this middle eastern terrorism happen when we were children? What brought it on? What brought it to America? Why isn't it in Trinidad and Tobago, or Switzerland, or Norway, or .........

kdsub -> RE: 12 dead in Paris (1/9/2015 3:30:56 PM)
Thanks Peon... I did read the link. To me the whole article just said that the terrorists came from all walks of life with varying and different degrees of religious fervor. Below is the first paragraph in the piece. "Jihadist terrorists are religious believers: that much is undeniable. They invoke Allah and the Koran, they denounce their targets for being unholy, they speak of a divine calling and a scriptural obligation to avenge the “crusader” and the “infidel.”" All the reasons you and the article have listed state why the terrorists chose to follow the literal teaching of their religion... but it is these literal teachings they followed for whatever reason. By the way you did read where it said these men and woman were NOT mentally ill... a big contention between tweak and others and myself. I have never said a devout Muslim is more likely to be a terrorists... Although I do believe many are... just as well as many or not... to me a terrorists is just that a terrorists...what inspired them is important but does not absolve the religion that guides them. I see nothing in this article that disavows the religion of Islam as not being the main guiding force of the terrorist. I do understand how someone dying or in financial crisis may take money in return for their life as a suicide bomber... but this is still done in the name of the religion. So I guess we will take different things from your link and have different opinions... But thanks for posting the link and explaining your position... Many would just rather spew disparaging remarks and not take the time to explain themselves. Butch
