If Islam, Judaism and Christianity all preach peace, then why do people kill in the name of God.?

Question

It seems a little hyppocritical to me that terrorists kill innocent people in the name of God (or Yahweh or Allah), even though the Bible, Torah & Koran teach that violence isn't the answer.

Answer 1

Because human motivations are extremely complex. Sure, there are explicit teachings, but you have to factor in other things as well... Northern Ireland, for example, is not basically a religious conflict; it's an economic conflict between predominantly poor disenfranchised Catholics and Protestants. Likewise, radical Islam has taken root because of poverty, hopelessness, and political oppression in the Islamic world. People whose children are hungry will fight for them, even though their fight may be misguided, and their anger and fear may be exploited by ruthless leaders.

The solution isn't just to listen to the teachings of peace. The solution is to establish a just economic order and political freedom. The Hebrew prophets knew that...

And of course, get rid of the notion that "God" favors the followers of any particular religion, or that any of us have more than fragments of the truth. Humility.

Answer 2

MISUNDERSTANDING. The Crusades happened because most of the people that were in christianity did not know how to read and were uneducated. People teach what they wanted to teach about Christianity without anybody being able to figure out what the actual teachings of Jesus were. That is until the Protestant reformation. Martin Luther did know how to read and in the late 1400's the printing press was invented. This lead to the majority of populations finally becoming educated in what they said they were believing in.

Others kill in the name of God to make God look bad.

Answer 3

Terrorists aren't the only ones, Christians have been doing it for thousands of years also. What do you thin the inquisition was? AND the holocaust? People think they are honohring the non existant all powerfull "G-d" if they kill other non believers. Just don't think Muslims are the only ones.

Answer 4

Only Islam that are full violent, full of hate with other religion, full of pleasure for mean, full of discrimination against women.

Allah created universe and human, Allah love all human and will not agree to for human being violent and kill each other that so I dont think mohamad are prophet from Allah.

Also Allah will not allow men to have 2/3/4 wife by any excuse. So pervert, sex maniac, child molester cannot become good man.

Allah will not allow their beleiver to hate each other because Christians, Chatolic, Jews have the same God but I dont know Islam because they hate other beleiver even they are the same GOD ???? So think again if mohamad are prophet from the same Allah or not ????

Some muslim compare many violent in the bible but that is history, our God never agree or allow any violent, full of hate. Our God teach us to love each other even they are from other religion, even they are our enemy. We suppose to pray for them, forgive them. We cannot keep our hate because that is a sin.

That so all the western country have the base human right, Do you know that many muslim country dont even have a church, because they dont have freedom to beleive. Many non muslim register themself as muslim for their own safe. It is just too violent.

Many Muslim spread the lie telling that terrorist are not muslim. You must know that Terrorist are good muslim, their faith base on Al Quran. They are not crazy people, stupid people or retard people. They are good muslim.

Answer 5

Religion breeds magical-thinking, feeble mindedness and hatred. Religion is a political action group. It has nothing to do with spirituality. Spirituality is a faith of one. Religion is a pack of animals needing validation and overlords. Religion basically is a form of husbandry.

Answer 6

"i hit upon it baffling..." "I easily do no longer understand..." you have the language of possessing your very own thoughts down, yet no longer the prepare. are you able to take the subsequent step and comprehend that your present limitations of comprehension are actually not precise reflections of the religions named? Do you think of that Torah is the sum entire of 3000 years of Judaism? Or that its implementation has no longer replaced in each and every of the time? it truly is extremely a assertion to make. Torah is the earliest layers of a communicate it truly is persevered in the time of generations, with each and every technology including its very own concept, reactions, agreements, disagreements, opinions and new counsel to the commentaries. That technique is Judaism. you will never know it in case you in basic terms study one area of it. Judaism does not say that we "choose a extra robust deity to inform us a thank you to be morally appropriate." you will never locate us putting down atheists. Your way isn't comparable to ours, sure, yet it truly is how the international works. variety of concept is as important to our collective well being as genetic variety is to our actual well being and survival. We appreciate that your way isn't comparable to ours. it truly is hardly illiberal now, is it? And what you spot as illiberal out of your lofty twenty first century tower went previous tolerance 2700 years in the past. once you make an effort to appreciate what each and every passage replaced into truly approximately, the repeated trend of Jewish regulation is a decision to stay in solidarity with the organic order of issues and to handle others with appreciate and decency. Context concerns. overlook approximately it in case you will. we don't.

Answer 7

I think they fight because they want power and more believers...
so whichever religon wins in the end, thousands millions of people will get into that winning religon because they would think deep inside, as humans, the powerful winning religon must be the true one...
which is really sad and wrong !

Answer 8

Basically, because the "human being", by it's own nature is ignorant. Christianity (Christ like action) is peaceful in it's nature. It takes screwed up individuals to corrupt it and ignorant ones to follow their teachings. If you remember, the KKK also claimed to be a christian (Christ like) organization.

Answer 9

Leaving 'islamic' terrorists aside (they are not real muslims), religious people may justify killing others as it may be the lesser of two evils eg shooting Hitler, or any other tyrant, would not be as evil as letting him live and kill a load of Jews etc

Answer 10

Christians and Jews aren't killing anyone. It's the Muslims that are on a global crusade to convert the world or kill non-Muslims.
