The terrorists are using religion as an excuse

[AaronP]

They are perverting the religion of islam and using it as an excuse for political reasons.

Some evidence backing this up

1. The suicide pilots in Florida went to strip clubs and drank a lot which means that they don't take their religion seriously at all. It's just an excuse.
2. The Koran says killing is bad.

Ya know what, some lame brained prophet 1000 years ago or whenever added a couple of throw away lines about "Jihad" to the Koran and now these bastards are using that as their calling card and totally ignoring the other hundreds of pages of the Koran.

Thats how most religious wars start. Do any religions say Killing is good ? Yet we still have these Terrorists, the Crusades....etc

 

[chiwawa626]

yes i agre they are taking the religion thing too far...then this causes people to call them extrimists and generalize the religion.

 

[eyez]

Totally agree.

osama might be using his religion as an excuse, but his followers probably are not. they wouldnt die intentionally just for his political agenda. they believe their relgion will reward them for what they have done.

People use religion to achieve political goals. The Crusaders used it, now the fanatical fundamentalist Muslims are using it against us.

i totally agree. they use religion as a cover to put on their blind hatred towards the world. Never in any major religion is it either a good thing to kill people or harm them in any way or for any reason. that is why most terrorists are referred to as (general term)frickin psychos.

there's always an excuse for everything...
its a fact of life...
take this for instance:
I believe bombing the fakk out of afganistan is justified cuz they destroyed 3 buildings and a couple thousand US citizens.
or
I burned the mosque because I was angry and all members of the mosque are terrorists.


excuses excuses... one person's good excuse is another person's bad excuse...

 

[AaronP]

Well, I wouldn't call it an *excuse* for us to bomb Afghanistan. excuses are used for bad things.

That is very true. This whole incident is puting a very bad name on Islam. I go to a Catholic high school, and take theology classes. I took a class for a whole year called "world religions." We spent about 6 weeks studying Islam. Islam is very very very similar to christianity. It is NOT a bad religion. These terrorists are being linked with Islam, therefore people associate terrorism with Islam, giving the religion a bad name.

The point is their "leader" tells them that although they are doing all these bad things, if they kill Americans and die in the process, they will go to heaven.

remember the Simpsons with "the Leader"

"nanananaa Batman nanananana Batman nananana LEADER! I love the leader. "

yeah and now our utterly STUPID media are calling this a "world war" and the "crusade" -- talk about self-fulfilling prophecies :disgust:
