Description
Hey everyone.Sick of hearing ignorant people equating Muslims to terrorists. I know it's a result of the events of 9/11. But there were terrorists before 9/11. There will be terrorists in the future. Stop implying that terrorists are only Islamic.
Case in point: Anders Behring Breivik. The Norwegian guy who killed 77 people and injured upward of 100 others. He is a Christian extremist. He's a terrorist. A Christian terrorist.
Just sayin'.
Edit
Just going to throw this out there: from 1980 to 2005, the FBI Database shows that Islamic-based terrorist attacks on US Soil made up of only 6% of all terrorist attacks. Jewish extremists made up 7% of those. Juuuuusssss sayin!
Edit Edit!
I'll just say this once: saying that I'm defending what terrorists do - ANY terrorists, is pathetic and childish, and you should be ashamed of yourself for being so.
Messages like "I'm afraid of all Muslims" just prove how much people would rather allow their fear to overcome them instead of actually EDUCATING themselves. Yes. Muslim extremists flew planes into the twin towers, pentagon, and into the ground. Yes, thousands of people died. Yes, thousands more have died overseas. I'm not saying that any of these things are good things. And I'm most certainly not defending it. And if you think I am, you're seriously deranged.
The point of this stamp was to point out that we shouldn't fear Muslims as a whole because of the actions of a few. Just the same as you don't fear Christians as a whole because of the crusades, or as you don't fear democrats as a whole because of organizations like PETA and ALF. Clearly you missed that.

I decided to re-make this stamp to make it a little visually appealing less ugly.

True Christians do not judge their brothers and sisters for we know we are all sinners and that the only one who has the right is God himself. Muslims, on the other hand, follow a pedophile, rapist, war monger.Β

It is. Who in their right minds would follow a man who raped numerous innocent women and a 9 year old girl.

Fine then they're not real Muslims. Your point?

You just said it.Β They're not real Muslims, and I myself as a MuslimΒ find it disgusting, no matter what or who you are.
I don't want this to turn into a fight so let keep it kind.
My point was very straightforward, to be honest.Β

I'm not trying to start anything. Just please continue to speak out against radicals.

Yes, they do. Especially in my native Russia.

Any form of terrorism is bad. No matter what the motive.
π: 0 β©: 0
Also, you likely deny the atrocities that were committed in the name of atheism.
π: 0 β©: 1
I believe that all atrocities are wrong, regardless of the religious or nonreligious beliefs of the perpetrators.

Breivik admitted to not liking Christianity and that he was actually an Odinist.
Also, his attack had nothing to do with religion.
If you're going to use an example of the mythical "Christian terrorists", you should use someone who is actually a Christian and was motivated by Christianity.

Also, there is the Lord's Resistance Army, as well as several other terrorist groups that happen to be Christian-based:

Just to be clear, I am NOT trying to vilify Christianity, I am only pointing out that Terrorist Organizations that just so happen to be motivated by Christianity DO in fact exist.

the attacks were against muslims , idiot

Ah, so Breivik was an Odinist. Thank you for correcting both me and 8manderz.
Actually, there have been Christian Terrorists before (for example, that dude who recently shot up the Planned Parenthood facility back in 2015), but in terms of worldwide terrorism, Radical Islamic Terrorism is far more common.
However, when it comes to specific countries, the most common cause of violent death for a specific country may vary.
Christian-based terrorism is very rare nowadays.

I can't exactly call Robert Lewis Dear a Christian terrorist. Yes, he was apparently a Christian. But I'm skeptical of his attack actually having to do anything with Christianity. Plenty of nonreligious people think that abortion is wrong, so to assume Christianity motivates anti-abortion violence is absurd. Last time I checked, Dear said something like, "No more baby parts". Not sure what that has to do with Christ.
π: 0 β©: 1
I never assumed that Christianity motivates all anti-abortion violence, and I am sorry that I caused you to suspect me of supposedly assuming that.
But in the specific case of Robert Lewis Dear, he also said that he will go to Heaven and be met by aborted fetuses that would supposedly thank him for saving unborn babies (he was referring to the Christian Heaven) and that he believes Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ.
So, in Robert Lewis Dear's case, Christianity was one of his specific motivators.

If you need to remind us of that, it means that it happens so never, we tend to forget it happens at all
He is a Christian extremist no he's not, he's a neo-nazi. I doubt he identifies as Christian and even then, so what? if the motives are not Christian-inspires, it's not Christian terrorism.
Islamic-based terrorist attacks on US Soil made up of only 6% of all terrorist attacks not bad for less than 1% of the population
Also, what does the percentage of victims look like?
...ow. Isn't it like 99% islamic terrorists?

As for Anders, from what I've researched, Anders was inspired by Christianity, but that does not change the fact that he's still a terrorist no matter what his belief system is:

On a sidenote, I'm sick of the "most victims of islamic violence are muslims, therefore muslims are the actual victims" fallacy. Breivik proved that you can butcher a hundred of white kids in the name of white supremacy and nobody will say whites are the actual victims of white supremacy.
π: 0 β©: 1
True enough.
The way I see it, anyone can become a victim of terrorism. That's why we as a society should be careful.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, that's the idea of terrorism. Make everyone afraid.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly.
Technically, anyone who was psychologically or emotionally traumatized by terrorism is just as much of a victim as anyone who was hurt or killed due to terrorism.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wouldn't say that being psychologically affected is as bad as getting killed tho
π: 0 β©: 1
Fair enough.
I believe that severe psychological effects and being killed are equally as bad though.
Because severe psychological effects of violence are basically a psychological assault if one survives the physical effects. And in my my eyes, any form of serious assault is just as bad as murder.
Nonetheless, I honestly respect, understand, and tolerate you opinion.
At least I agree with you on some things, and I am truly sorry if I came across as a jerk in any way, shape, or form. If I did, I honestly did not mean to.

Whoops
Excuse me, I was talking to someone else about a totally different topic
>.>
That's embarrassing
And I don't think you were a jerk

I forgive you.
And I thank you for your understanding.
Good luck with your conversation with the other individual.

It's doing great, and yeah, your icon looked a bit similar
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand.
I am also honestly sorry for the misunderstanding.

That's not your fault, I should go to bed in fact lol
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand.
Have yourself a good night.

Now that I think about it, Christian Extremists are more often cultists rather than terrorists.
Either way, Cultists and Terrorists are still both scary, though.
And you're right about Radical Islamic Extremists. Radical Islamic Extremists is more common compared to Radical Christian Extremists.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, they're still talking about abortion clinic attacks that happened in the 1980s
π: 0 β©: 1
True enough.
Still, terrorism comes in many forms, and Radical Islamic Terrorism is the most common one these days.
And like I said, when it comes to Christian Extremism, Christian Extremism is more often cultists rather than terrorists. My point with that statement is that Christian Terrorism is not a common occurrence these days.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, even in South America where the CIA stirred so much shit.
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed.
Terrorism is like a Decepticon, so to speak. It comes in many forms, and it will often take us by surprise. It just so happens that Radical Islamic Terrorism is the most common these days, but that does not give any other forms of Terrorism a free pass.
