There is, look at Nigeria and the Ivory Coast or indeed Western countries' white nationalist movements, it's not like Combat 18 doesn't exist any more. Breivik's even still in all the papers

Source?

What do you mean? Do you honestly need a source to back up the fact that Christianity was a fanatical religion a few hundred years ago?

Did you really just ask for a source for the crusades? Assuming that was what he meant, I think a couple of hundred years ago we'd got over all that nonsense and were just building trains

Yes, yes we do!

Though arguably it's only been the Catholics which did a nut and started burning people, the bloody heretics

Gotta disagree with you there, at the start of the Protestant movement they could be pretty scary people to. And the Eastern Orthodox Church again, had it's own scary parts.

Murder is murder. It makes no difference why the murderer did it or what they were saying while they were killing. The sooner you recognize that the better.

Ok ok so you're assuming that muslims remains in "Crusade" as they were 1000years ago. They need to be up to date, lazy muslims.


Muslims had never known about terrorism only/as christians (do).

Well I wasn't specifically reffereing to the crusades, I was referencing later history, but essentially yes. Islam is stuck in that period of rampant fanatacism in the face of change, in my opinion.

And am I right in thinking you are trying to say Christians invented terrorism here?

[NutterFrutter]

I am driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it."

There were no religious reasons at all...

Not really, Protestants did as much witch burning as Catholics, not to mention persecuting Catholics. So Catholics are far from being alone in Christian brutality.

'terrorism' has been employed by most groups with an ambitious goal at some point in the past.

If you take terrorism as using violence or threats of violence to force a group of people to comply with your idealism or goal, its been done on many levels by many groups.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians

Why?

These people are clearly persecuted becuase of their faith, aside from the world mentioned in the title, but also in North Korea, China, and other places.

And please, those that say Muslims are persecuted like Christians, whilst it is true Christian majority countries such as the US and allied Nato armies have done much damage, they don't do it in the name of Christianity against Muslims, via faith, their reasons are rational (non-faith based, purely logical and existing, not rational as in good), their reasons are for power, energy, money. And Muslims in Christian countries, namely Europe, Australia, North America .... compared with Christians in, say, saudi Arabia, Egypt, North Africa and the Gulf at large .... have it so.much.better.

No Christian Terrorism against Muslims?

are you forgetting about the crusades? bosnia, modern day wars in iraq and afghanistan that have cost the lives of almost 2 million innocent people!
