don't think this as my personal view. i read it in a book and even many articles lead to this conclusion...

Well, lets see...
Wasn't the IRA Catholics?
And wasn't it Christians who devastated the innocent people during the Crusades?
What religion does the KKK claim to be?
And Neo Nazis?
And what would you call what the Brits did when they over ran Scotland?
Or Custards' theories on handling the "Indian situation?"
The Anti abortionist fanatics who are shooting doctors and blowing up clinics?
Street gangs with their violent grip on our streets are certainly terrorists, controlling with the threat of violence, death, and worse!
And what about that whacked out "Home Grown" terrorist who did the Oklahoma City bombing?
Truth is, as long as there are two points of view and one person willing to take it to extrema, there will always be at least one terrorist.
Every religion has them.
Every counrty has them.
Every gender...
Every race...
Every color...
Every education level...
Every obsession...
To say they are all Muslim is as ignorant as saying all priests are child molesters or all Germans are Nazis. And the writers of such books &/or articles should be told that with absolutely no uncertanty!

Columbia has 2: United Self Defense Forces and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia. Don't forget Ireland's IRA. Personally, I think the drug cartels operating in Mexico and the Southern US employ terrorist tactics to stay in business. Muslim terrorists just get the most press, especially since 9/11.

Examples of attacks and aggression
* October 2, 2004- Christian terrorist group kills 44 Hindus, wounds 118 in Northeast India. [1]
* January 16, 1997- Christian Identity terrorist Eric Robert Rudolph bombs nightclub.[2]
* July 27, 1996- Christian Identity terrorist Eric Robert Rudolph bombs Centennial Olympic Park. Kills 1, wounds 111.
* 1983- Posse Comitatus militia member Gordon Kahl kills two Federal marshals in North Dakota. Three others are wounded. It should be pointed out that Posse Comitatus has nothing to do with Christianity, and this incident has nothing to do with the subject of this page.
* 1978- Christian cult "the Peoples' Temple" leader Jim Jones orchestrates the death of 913 people with cyanide-laced Kool Aid. People trying to escape the compound are shot.
* 1969-2001- over 3000 people are killed in Ireland as a result of bombings and other violent acts between Catholics and Protestants. More than 1800 of those killed in "The Troubles" are civilians.
* 1940s- Terrorist organization Christian Identity is formed on the West Coast of the United States. Followers believe Armageddon will take place as a race war between Aryans, the "pure" people, against Jews, Muslims, and non-whites.

Not all terrorists are muslims. Examples of non-muslim terrorist organizations are IRA and ETA. Other non-muslim terrorists are for example the ones who put the poisonous gas in the Japanese subway some years ago and the ones responsible for the Oklahoma terrorist attack.

Eta, the Basque separatists in Spain, and the Front de Liberation de Quebec, which existed in the 1960s, were non-Muslim terrorists. Germany and Italy had home-grown terrorism in the 1970s. Most of the terror attacks in the world today involve Muslim countries or bombers, but there are many others who are not.

There's not enough room to list all the terrorist on this planet. Real IRA (present day Irish terrorists, IRA have officially disbanded, on the Catholic side), UVF UVA(more Irish terrorists but are protestant), basque Eta, KKK and there are literally hundreds of Chritian terrorists. You need to start reading proper books or start checking world news.

Ever hear of the IRA (Irish terror branch of Sinn Fein)? Or Red Sunday (Italian communists)? Believe me, Muslims may be getting all the press right now, but by no means are they the only terrorists in the world.

Obviously you don't read much - - - never ever heard of The IRA - - The Irish Republican Army mostly Catholic - - - several Radical Zionists who are Jewish - - - various Fundementalist Christian Groups who bomb women's health care clinics and shoot down doctors - - - or Budhist Monks in Korean rioting and destroying assorted buildings - - - or assorted seperatist groups in Russia that are Orthodox Christian - - - or - - - the point is, every religion can count terrorist among their congreagations. Peace...
