Do you think Religion and Terrorism have a very close relationship?

Question

i dont know why people kill each other to say , my god is the greatest and you should follow my god. Or i'll blast your place.

Answer 1

YES to Islam religion BUT to Christians no because we worship the living God.

Answer 2

Religion in general? No.

But yes, terrorism uses religion as a recruiting tool and a way of justifying violence. It's not just Islam doing this - remember that until 9/11, terrorism in the United States was largely the product of Christian extremists. That kind of terrorism has settled down only because we have largely surrendered to their demands. We are in the process of doing so again with respect to the Islamic terrorists - when Bush attacked Iraq, he gave bin Laden exactly what he wanted, and gave in to the Christian extremists at the same time. There is no "war on terrorism": the right-wingers have been surrendering to terrorists every chance they get.

Answer 3

Eating more causes indigestion similarly anything more cause harm and when religion / faith reaches its extremity in leads to fanatism which culminates into violence & terrorism. Once should have faith in ones religion but at the same time should understand that others also have the same faith in their respective religions and they follow its principles. The policy of Live and let them also Live is the only solution to this crisis.

Answer 4

The greatest strength of religion is also its greatest weakness. Religion is one of the institutions in society that instills such great emotions in its participants that it has the capacity to drive them to move forward. This vast emotional tie can cause people to do things that they would not normally do, like terrorism. I don't believe that any of the religions are inherantly bad, it is just that Satan distorts the goal of some religions and convinces participants to act in a manner that is bad.

Answer 5

Religion is a way of looking at your place in the world and universe. There are many organized religions. There is noting more dangerous than a religious fanatic. Religious fanatics and acts of terrorism can be related.

Answer 6

Of course, they are not only related, they go hand in hand. Ever hear of the Crusades? That was organized religions first idea to bring new members to flock of God, or kill them if they weren't into it.

Islam, God, whatever. Crazy people will kill thier own brother in the name of some imagined greater good, its easier than saying you hate someone who is different and you want them dead, so just blame it on God, and try get away with it.

They even think it will benefit God somehow to kill themselves just to take out more people in the process, or maybe they are at least doing something for us maybe after all. Naw, selflessness and being a crazy religious zealot don't mix.

Ask That a*sswipe Falwell. His kind will kill us all someday.

and for "BUTTERCAKES" who said "My God doesn't condone death....muslin must be false God" HELLO? You don't know squat from the sh*it in your head...Muslim's God is our God too! Simply interpreted differently, and he don't belive in killing either, you dumb ****!

Answer 7

Yes. It's like fighing a war. Each religion wants to win-too be supreme over the other.
Why would a true religion teach us to kill another if he is not a believer?
Who have the right to determine who is a believer?

I am not a believer of religion. I live my life by this simple motto- "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

And I can comfortably say that I am a good person.

Answer 8

Yes. It doesn't matter what religion or faith one follows, the "results" are always the same... eventually a lot of people become so blind in their faith that they will believe anything if told it is done for their "god"... this includes starting wars or ramming planes into buildings.

Answer 9

Well, not beyond the fact that terrorism involves killing. Religion has been constantly conjoined with killing for thousands of years. Religious conflict seems to be one of the best reasons people can think of to die for.

Answer 10

I think that there's alot of false religion in this world, no matter what the name of it is. The world RELIGION is just a word, that people use to identify themselves with others. So, since some religionists want to be right, they, like TERRORISTS, believe their way is the ONLY way! They are similar in this way!
Some people in various religions have a peaceful attitude, in that they feel religion is according to one's personal beliefs, and that there is room for many beliefs, and since they are personal, no one forces their religion down anyone elses throat. This is fine. But unfortunately, there are those fanatics who, like the terrorist mentality, try to force everyone to think and to believe just like they do!!! How sad! This is NOT what GOD has instructed!!!
TRUE RELIGION is NOT a group or a box that people can belong to, or put themselves in...TRUE RELIGION is SPIRITUALITY!!! We can be Spiritual without a religion, we try to live a good life, listen to God, learn how to conduct ourselves in a Christ like manner...All this Spirituality comes from a close relationship with our Creator...NOT from religion!

Answer 11

peace_____i would rather switch the government than blow your house.what could be al-qaeda's motive? should your government have done it whats their motive? think of another country. i cant find alqaeda motives, but i can find some for the government and israel. and perhaps these deployed troops in lebanon are guarding an oil pipeline crossing the lebanon-israel border ending at ceyhan(turkish port) . ceyhan could mean that the syria-lebanon border might have to be secured. and i notice anti syria propoganda already floated. buisness logic currently points at syria(although iran may have to be reckoned with given its threat(which seems to include protecting the interests of the region.))
