Forgive me for being pedantic, but isn't that in some ways better that they are trying to convert people?
These Christian terrorists have no goal beyond destruction and death. They aren't saving souls, nor are they doing anything really for "God" at all. In a way, at least these Islamic extremists give people a shot by asking them to convert. And at least they all have one cohesive message: convert or die.
I much prefer my terrorist to have real conviction an purpose. If they just go around pumping nerve gas into subways and sending people anthrax all willy-nilly it serves no purpose and it makes it far less froth inducing when I watch it later on FOX.
SILENCE UNTOUCHABLE!Ah, Baasha, our resident shit-bathing Hindi ultra-fundamentalism extreme anti-white racist.
You never cease to entertain yourself.

I came across a well researched report of Christian Terrorism in the CURRENT DAY!
Source: Christian Terrorism Today
Most people mean Islam when talking about modern day terrorism but Christianity gets a free pass; at least in the Western media who are either complicit and/or ignorant of the goings on of terrorism in the name of the droopy corpse on a stick - jesus the charlatan!
Many liberals, who are too stupid to do any research on their own, keep talking about "Crusades, Inquisition, and other Christian atrocities" that occurred in the past. Although that is true, the bible-thumping ignoramuses conveniently sweep that under the carpet saying, "But... but that was hundreds of years ago! Look at the "peaceful" Christians today!"
The article above clearly shows, with ample proof, of the terrorism that Christians commit today.
A DMX'ian axiom comes to mind: "Da troof hurfs!"
So your argument is b/c radicalized elements of other religions exist to any degree, we should all stop being so hard on Muslim extremists?

You focus on the biggest problems first. Thousands of people were killed last year in the name of one religion - worrying about another religion would be like focusing on a paper cut on a patient suffering a heart attack.
Exactly. To even attempt to turn the conversation to the minor actions of an infinitesimal few is deflection (especially when the accusation is damning and true.)
Get out of the middle east. Stop providing bombs, bullets and Billions of $ to anti-democratic dictators. Stop using flying death robots. Get our Navy out to sea, and not just off the coast of these countries. Re-establish ties with Cuba, Iran, and N. Korea with an ambassador and an Embassy, without it just being a CIA post. Show the world that we're civilized and adults. For once.
Get out. Let them murder each other.
To me, it is the simplest and easiest decision. Not that it is some easy decision, but until the distraction of "winning" is given up, we have a MIC and people who think that "winning" is even possible in agreement, thereby making it the Serious option, while just getting out is UnSerious.That much I can certainly agree with, especially since there's no way we can "win" (so to speak.) Problem is, there's no easy answer... we pull out 100%, the monsters take over and kill all who don't quickly join them; Christian, muslim, or whatever. We stay and defend the innocents, both sides wind up hating us because we're just too different in our incompatible lifestyles. We blow up the greater evil, ISIL, and another similar regime rises up yet again.
It's a damned no-win scenario... though I think letting them rage like barbarians is probably the best of a bunch of lousy choices. Close our borders to them, no travel to it for our own citizens, maybe encourage the other civilized nations to do the same.
Of course, that will seem like a bad choice too since those who fled those awful places still want to maintain ties to it and either bring over more of their clan (yes, clan is correct) or go back for certain things considered atrocities in the western world, like circumcising their daughters or honour-killings for getting too westernized and shaming them. There will also be an awful backlash from many muslims at home who will feel like the jig is up and the war they've been already fighting at a passive level will step things up to "active". With the borders closed, perhaps that will eventually peter itself out and we can concentrate on breaking our addiction to oil so we'll never need the middle east again.
We have Christian in the U.S going to uganda to push for state sponsored killings of homosexual. That is just as bad as ISIS.
Christians in the U.S are supporting and helping with the killing and torture of innocent people.
Any Christian terrorists aren't any better than Muslim ones. You just don't see many of the former. There is no ISIS equivalent. Then ask yourself just who ISIS is killing and that's everyone who is not ISIS. They'll gladly kill anyone who doesn't convert to ISIS and that is for the moment mostly Muslims. Then there's Al-Qaeda. Who at the WTC did they convert to anything other than worm food? Christian terrorists- at the funeral of Michael Brown it was said he was doing "god's work" the day he died. Michael Brown was a Christian Terrorist? He surely was just as much as the group Dcal used as an example. DCal is a Christian terrorist supporter. That's logic for some.
But getting back to groups who kill saying they are doing Gods work. I don't care if they are bombing clinics or "converting" Japanese by beheading them, they aren't acceptable. Period. As far as equivalence goes in terms of numbers or acceptance by the mainstream worldwide there is no equivalence. Twenty percent of church attending Americans (and I wonder how many of those are Christians) saying that strapping on an explosive vest and self detonating in a crowd is occasionally acceptable isn't likely. It just fails.
Which religion did the Soviets belong to when they invaded Afghanistan
Yep, there are several Muslim families in my neighborhood and they all seem like normal folks. There's a mosque about a mile or so away and halal markets off the highway. No problems whatsoever. It's a desirable area with good schools and a low crime rate.Funny, I've never had any the Muslim families that live in my neighborhood say a cross word to me much less make any threats to kill me via bombing or decapitation either.
El oh el. Legal government = whoever is established as per Abwx. The cognitive dissonance must burn when you think about Israel after Afghanistan.
So an "invasion" to fight foreign mercenaries..??.The Soviet war in Afghanistan lasted over nine years from December 1979 to February 1989. Part of the Cold War, it was fought between Soviet-led Afghan forces against multi-national insurgent groups called the Mujahideen,
So the US finance a war against progressists, they kept this country from modernizing hersel, but let see further :In June 1975, militants from the Jamiat Islami party attempted to overthrow the government. In 1978, the Taraki government initiated a series of reforms, including a radical modernization of the traditional Islamic civil society
So the legal government asked the russians for help against foreign mercenaries subsided and armed by the US, but hey, they are not the legal power according to brainwashed fascist like you, but let s look even further why this war occured :The Afghan government, having secured a treaty in December 1978 that allowed them to call on Soviet forces, repeatedly requested the introduction of troops in Afghanistan in the spring and summer of 1979.
They requested Soviet troops to provide security and to assist in the fight against the mujahideen rebels.
Once in power, the PDPA implemented a socialist agenda. The PDPA, an advocate of equal rights for women, declared the equality of the sexes.[8] This angered conservatives who considered the move an attack on Islam.[9] It changed the national flag from traditional Islamic green color to a near-copy of the red flag of the Soviet Union, a provocative affront to the people of this conservative Islamic country.[10] It prohibited usury, without having in place any alternative for peasants who relied on the traditional, if exploitative, credit system in the countryside. That led to an agricultural crisis and a fall in agricultural production.[11][12] The PDPA made a number of statements on women's rights, declaring equality of the sexes and introduced women to political life. A prominent example was Anahita Ratebzad, who was a major Marxist leader and a member of the Revolutionary Council. Ratebzad wrote the famous May 28, 1978 New Kabul Times editorial, which declared: "Privileges which women, by right, must have are equal education, job security, health services, and free time to rear a healthy generation for building the future of the country ... Educating and enlightening women is now the subject of close government attention.
Years before 911 a Christian group in California plotted to blow the largest above ground propane tanks in the U.S, and perhaps the world. The explosion would have killed thousands.
Sure that ractionary/fascist US people like you will never aknowledge that their country supported fascist and obscurantist terrorists as a mean to crush a communist government, keep on being ignorant, it suits you perfectly, thanks to ignorance, your only "argument", you can deny anything...

Finally someone posts the true threat to religious fanaticism, secularization, while everyone else wants to ride the false equivalence train, "but the Christian did it too".Once in power, the PDPA implemented a socialist agenda.

How could the Russians have invaded Afghanistan when they were actualy asked by the LEGAL communist government for help against obscurantists that were battling the laws voted in the 70s by this government..?.
You think that the Afghan government was unaware that the US was arming a reactionary rebbellion.?.
And you know why thoses obscurantist, supported and armed by the US gov were fighting the communist government..?.
They were fighting against freedom while the US gov propaganda was claiming that theses were freedom fighter, what a joke, they did fight because the communist government voted laws that thoses retarded deemed as being sacrilege, that is equal rights and scolarization of women, nationalisation and redistribution of land to peasants that were living in servdom since the land were in the hand of the nobility, theses are the laws that the US did fight in this country, that is you government was a reactionary government under reagan and they supported ultra reactionary afhgan nobility that was fighting for her privilege and the abolition of women rights.
