Hitler said he was a christian but what he did was against Christian teachings; was he a true Christian??? NO. People have used religion all through History to commit vicious crimes. Just like the Muslim terrorists; they are a disgrace to Islam and will be punished by Allah.

Its logically conclusive given the doctrines taught in the bible. If there is an eternal Hell fire, wouldnt you do anything to protect your children from going there? If you believe a person can go there simply for not believing Jesus is the Messiah then wouldn't you consider it very important to make sure you stop the chances of your own loved ones from believing otherwise? If eternal damnation is true, I would take it seriously and Im an atheist.
Christian terrorism is an EXPRESSION of christian dogma, not a PERVERSION of it. If a little bit of suffering can potentially aid in saving someones soul, its all worth it. Im glad I am an atheist.
EDIT
Terrorist are not 'deranged insane people'. Its highly probable to find a man that can have a family, have the intelligence to make a Nuclear weapon and still believe he will get 72 virgins in the after life. 'Terrorism' is a completely rational choice given the initial premises of these religious beliefs.
Thats why many religions themselves must go. Primitive superstition with modern technology scares the sh!t out of me.
Moderate Christianity acts as a cover for the more fundamental Christianity.

Well there is one form of terrorism that is through violence.
Murder, torture rape, and looting falls under that category.
Then there is the other form of violence which is done through missionary work and social work.
That is where christianity comes in. Christian countries first stole vast sums of money out of now what is known as third world countries. They built the west. THen they put economic planning into place where third world countries which were feeding this financial hunger are now desperate for loans and grants. The christian world uses this to get these countries very very desperate out of poverty and uses the money tool to go in to do social work and convert people to christianity.
I am looking for a question I saw this morning but cannot find it again. It questions christians why they are mass converting hindus in india through social work. Listen to the video if you find the question.
It will scare you how cunning christians are. No one is allowed to use devious means to convert others and so christians are terrorists of a kind.

I answered this already in your last question, with examples.
You can declare _by definition_ that a Christian cannot be a terrorist, but that doesn't make any difference at all to the state of the world. The fact of the matter is that avowed Christians commit acts of terrorism, and avowed Christian organizations support them.
I honestly do feel sorry for the decent Christians who find themselves associated with the extremism, but that is not the fault of those of us who make those associations.
The antiabortion movement is particularly to blame here: if one cannot be a terrorist and a Christian at the same time, then Christianity must reject those people (including quite a few right here on YA) who insist that "abortion is murder". But I don't see many Christians rejecting that. There is clearly not any major effort among Christians to reject terrorism in the name of Christianity.

Yes. Jesus wasn't fuzzy and warm all the time. In fact, according to many Christians, in Revelation he becomes downright psychotic. That is the example of Jesus that many Christian terrorists are trying to emulate.

One person reads the Bible and becomes a pacifist;
another person reads it and feels justified in taking the lives of others.
One person reads and says it's o.k to treat gays and women horribly;
another reads and feels more love for all of God's creations.
In my opinion, yes, a true believer in Jesus teachings (of the Buddha's/Prophet Muhammad's teachings for that matter) could never kill innocent people. But, some do...

They can but they shouldn't. After all, Christ wasn't a terrorist.
