So cutting a soldiers head off isn't an act of terrorism ?

Terrorism is an act of violence that strikes fear into innocent civilians Pretty sure what happened today achieved that
And to back it up the Muslim religion is at war with the Jews, Sikhs, hindus and christians. They commit acts of terrorism in many countries in this world such as Russia, Spain USA uk tried to do one in Canada a few weeks ago.

They are even Muslims committing acts of terrorism against other Muslims with a sectarian battle which sees bombs go off on a daily basis. Don't tell me do educate myself I have an idea what goes on in the world

And as I said before not all Muslims are terrorists but almost all terrorist acts are committed by Muslims

Obviously, this was deemed an act of terror. Why would I argue that?





What I was trying to get across is that you should:

1) familiarize yourself with other acts of terror that happen around the world.
2)research Islamic scripture and teachings.
3)familiarize yourself with a variety of cultures.

If you fail to do so, you will probably continue to act like an ignorant fool.

It's great that you have an opinion- we all have those. Yours is simply lacking education and truth (much like the terrorists in the terror attack we are talking about).

Yep, and I commend you on a job well done educating yourself. Google can provide you with an all-encompassing full education in 2 seconds.

Wrong, their interpretation of scripture is taken to an EXTREME. Yes, they believe they will be well rewarded by their God. The Crusaders also believed they would be well rewarded by their God. Hitler thought he was doing the right thing. People always think they are doing the right thing ex. Rwanda. ex. Apartheid in South Africa.

I agree with you but do you know how many share these extreme views? I don't but I bet you that number is increasing radically in the Middle East/african nations. A lot of the countries are at civil unrest.

Well, that's not really true, either imo. A lot of terrorists are terrorists because they've been indoctrinated to believe certain groups/cultures/countries etc are the enemy, and from there have had hatred, violence and promise of ultimate reward for their actions, burned into them from a young age.

I could be wrong, because I'm not very educated on the subject. But I would imagine that a lot of terrorists, if raised in normal settings without extremist teachings, would likely grow up to be normal people.


EDIT: If I'm interperating your post correctly, you're suggesting that terrorists are evil people, that have something wrong with them chemically or whatever, and use extremism and terrorism as a way to harm people, and that if they weren't indoctrinated from a young age and weren't part of a religion they would still do terrible things? If so, I definitly disagree.

Well I know I'll get called a racist for saying this but is scottish_flame the only one here who is sick and tired of islamic terrorists killing innocent people? All of us have to admit it is extremely sickening and sad to see these attacks happening again and again. I'm not saying any religion is better or worse than any other, but honestly the muslim religion needs to get control of this or things are going to get worse for all of us.

Islam isn't a race and your only saying what you see on tv news Internet and its the truth.
I made my point because yes I am sick of it and a young innocent soldier was brutally killed because of it and not long ago it happened in Boston.
I'll say quite a few would to a degree agree with me on this forum and won't come out and say it of the fear of being called a racist

There's this place called Ireland, it's really close to your "native land".

Violence was perhaps worst during the 1970's when hundreds of terrorist acts were recorded year after year. Eventually, things settled down to the intensity of a small scale war. As James A. Haught has reported:

...in 1985, a relatively quiet year, authorities recorded fifty-four assassinations, 148 bombings, 237 shootings, 916 woundings, 522 arrests on terrorism charges, 31 kneecappings (shooting out a person's kneecaps) and 3.3 tons of explosives and weapons seized. All this in a tiny country with a population of 1.5 million people.
People will always find a reason to kill other people.

No, of course he isn't the only one sick of terrorist acts. But he's the only one making ignorant statements about entire religions and groups of people (immigrants).

As I said before, this type of talk is fueling nationalism in the UK, and they're hatred is as scary as the extremists in this video. It does no good to stop violence by making stupid generalizations.
