Islamic terrorists obey their terrible law.
'Christian' terrorists are not Christian.
Christ tells His followers to be gentle and loving to all, regardless.
So yet again His name is taken in vain.
And although I realise that there are many millions of Muslems who are not terrorists, the fact remains - Islamic terrorists do most of the terrible damage to humanity.
So people come to hate and mistrust all Muslems - wrong, but understandable.

Why do so many people on ATS defend Islam? The very same people HATE Christian, tea parties, Republicans and all kinds of other groups. Then they prattle on about "Islamophobia". An MSM created buzzword. Not to mention most people on ATS hate religion all together (unless of course its Islam). The inconsistency really makes no sense at all.

And most people on ATS does not hate religion they just hate it being forced upon them.
A significant part of muslims, often majorities in their home countries where brainwashing is strong from birth, wants to force religion on others.

No, well compare.
You compile as much Christian terrorist acts that you can (and the only one that comes to mind is the Norway attack, and even that attack was aimed against the Leftists who are "islamizing" the country, which is partly true. Europe is being overrun by Muslims. Some people think that by the year 2100, Europe will be predominantly Muslim.) and ill gather Muslim terrorist attacks.
I would wager that 95% of the terrorist attacks committed today - in which people are killed - are perpetuated by Islamic terrorists.

This thread is about muslims, not jews. I am no fan of jewish religion or Israeli politics, too, but it is off-topic in this thread, so why are you bringing this up? Can you defend your ideology without bringing up the jewish boogeyman all the time?
CNN recently published an article entitled Study: Threat of Muslim-American terrorism in U.S. exaggerated; according to a study released by Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “the terrorist threat posed by radicalized Muslim-Americans has been exaggerated.”
Yet, Americans continue to live in mortal fear of radical Islam, a fear propagated and inflamed by right wing Islamophobes. If one follows the cable news networks, it seems as if all terrorists are Muslims. It has even become axiomatic in some circles to chant: “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muslims.” Muslims and their “leftist dhimmi allies” respond feebly, mentioning Waco as the one counter example, unwittingly affirming the belief that “nearly all terrorists are Muslims.”
.
But perception is not reality. The data simply does not support such a hasty conclusion. On the FBI’s official website, there exists a chronological list of all terrorist attacks committed on U.S. soil from the year 1980 all the way to 2005
According to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic (7% vs 6%). These radical Jews committed acts of terrorism in the name of their religion. These were not terrorists who happened to be Jews; rather, they were extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious passions, just like Al-Qaeda and company.
Yet notice the disparity in media coverage between the two. It would indeed be very interesting to construct a corresponding pie chart that depicted the level of media coverage of each group. The reason that Muslim apologists and their “leftist dhimmi allies” cannot recall another non-Islamic act of terrorism other than Waco is due to the fact that the media gives menial (if any) coverage to such events.
If a terrorist attack does not fit the “Islam is the perennial and existential threat of our times” narrative, it is simply not paid much attention to, which in a circuitous manner reinforces and “proves” the preconceived narrative. It is to such an extent that the average American cannot remember any Jewish or Latino terrorist; why should he when he has never even heard of the Jewish Defense League or the Ejercito Popular Boricua Macheteros? Surely what he does not know does not exist!
The Islamophobes claim that Islam is intrinsically a terrorist religion. The proof? Well, just about every terrorist attack is Islamic, they retort. Unfortunately for them, that’s not quite true. More like six percent. Using their defunct logic, these right wingers ought now to conclude that nearly all acts of terrorism are committed by Latinos (or Jews).
.
Let them dare say it…they couldn’t; it would be political and social suicide to say such a thing. Most Americans would shut down such talk as bigoted; yet, similar statements continue to be said of Islam, without any repercussions
The Islamophobes live in a fantasy world where everyone is supposedly too “politically correct” to criticize Islam and Muslims. Yet, the reality is the exact opposite: you can get away with saying anything against the crescent. Can you imagine the reaction if I said that Latinos should be profiled because after all they are the ones who commit the most terrorism in the country? (For the record: I don’t believe in such profiling, because I am–unlike the right wing nutters–a believer in American ideals.)

Coming from Finland, where this terrorism threat and fear is non-existent, I find the whole concept of Islamic terrorist- hype very silly.
How bout looking at it from this view point. How many decades have the Westerners (ahem US, NATO) been #ing around with Islamist nations? Propping up puppet dictators, then creating wars against those puppet dictators that turn against them, destroying their infrastructure and killing millions of civilians over time. The current death count is over a million in Iraq alone. In addition to this, the CIA actually funded Osama and the "Al Qaida" and provided them with weapons.
So, open your eyes, ask your country to stop killing their people and give them respect and you can expect to have less terrorism. Have your country bomb them more, and you can expect more terrorism.
Its as simple as that, ladies and gentlemen.

But would they have happened if we hadn't illegally invaded their countries and caused power vacuums? Pitting tribes and factions against one another.

Uhh, I dont get it......are you refering to the word heebs? Is that a racist word? hmmm, maybe my racist dictionary is out of date lol
HEEB:
A (purposeful) mispelling of the Jewish slur 'hebe'. While before 'hebe' was an ethnic slur, 'heeb' is a word of pride regarding ones Jewish idenity. This transformation is due in large part to the emerging Jewish youth culture comming out of New York City.
The magazine Heeb: The New Jew Review, is aimed at young hip Jews.
A person using coupons and/ or bonus points on minor purchases.
Dowd asked me to use his Duane Reade card on a pack of gum. Hes such a heeb.
Verb
1. To accomplishing something while spending as little money as possible.
2. To steal or take without asking.
Noun.
Someone who steals or is cheap.
Person 1: Did Kenny get his transmission fixed?
Person 2: Yeah, he heebed it back together with some chicken wire, popsicle sticks and epoxy.
Person 1: Why are my vice grips in your toolbox? I've been looking for those forever!
Person 2: I heebed 'em.
Person 1: **cking heeb.
Person 2: Yeah, I know.

I also remember the Europol reports from last year - and previous years - that showed that, in Europe, Muslims accounted for only 6% of acts deemed terrorist in nature. It was also rather ironic that Israeli / Jewish extremism accounted for 7%.
[color=limegreen]The whole "Muslim Terrorist" situation is nothing more than a manufactured situation. It's sole purpose is to sell more arms, steal more resources and keep us all in fear. Again, ignore the smokescreen of religion, and what we see is people fighting back against oppression, in the form of propped-up dictators and foreign influence, and not posing any threat to us, thousands of miles away. Of course, they have to manufacture a few events close to home to show us what a threat the latest perceived enemy is in order to keep the people scared and supporting the wars. Anyone not seeing this after all these years has got to be delusional or on drugs! Oh wait.... perhaps that's not so far from the truth?
