I've always been horrified that the American Public only talks about Muslim Terrorists and completely denies that there are Christian Terrorists...

When you ask, "What about Christian Terrorists?" The immediately say..."There isn't one! Name one then!" I can name several...

Timothy McVeigh, Uni Bomber...Really there's a long list but i haven't had my coffee! :)

The machinations of the liberal mind never cease to amaze me. You will not find conservatives defending any act of terrorism no matter where it springs from. Since there has not been any domestic acts of terrorism lately there is no reason to talk about them. The current present threat involves Islamic Fanatics and is therefore rightfully who the attention is directed towards. Or perhaps we should go after militia groups for legally owning guns, burn out a few more Christian fanatics and completely ignore the world threat like the previous administration.

Blakenwite: In the cases you mention the perpetrators were brought to justice. There is no reason to continue to talk about these people. Have evidence of current domestic threats? Please enlighten us and I am sure most will be happy to discuss it. Until then we will concentrate on the imminent threats. Further, I do not remember the Uni-Bomber claiming any religious alliance whatsoever. His motivations dealt with a dislike of technology.

Oh, don't say stuff like that, people'd think you're a terrorist. But in all sense, any logical man could tell you that terrorism has nothing to do with race or religion, but psychological configuration. And terrorism shouldn't be limited to killers, terrorism is about placing unnecessary scare into people, about bullying people into submission, such as the Minutemen and the CwC's.

Oh yeah, and Netnazivictim; the fact that he was associated with the Minutemen tells you that he was not only a Christian, but an extreme rightist.

You're absolutely right in saying that there have been terrorists other than Muslims, and very few can deny that; but, let's clarify a few misconceptions, OK?

McVey was not considered a "Christian Terrorist" even though he may have claimed to believe in Christianity; he was a government non-conformist and a malcontent, and he was a member of a couple of groups that would overthrow the government if they could; in other words, he was a political terrorist much an anarchist or like many in Iraq and Afghanistan that are killing their fellow Iraquis or Afghans while they spew slogans that appear anti-this or anti-that to gain the sympathies of the ignorant and those easily misled, as with the Christians and Jewish and other religions of the world.

Within Muslims, there are good and bad individuals just like in any other religion and/or ethnicity and/or racial background; there are the Sunni, (considered the most orthodox), Shi'ites, Sufis, Kahrijites, Wahhabis, Ismailis, Zaidis, Fatimids, Nizari, Alawis (also known as Nusayris) Druze, Baha'i... much as you have Roman Catholic, Protestants, Baptists, Lutherans, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, and a slew of other plus the many sects that spring up every day around the world and they are not all necessarily "terrorists" or anti-Muslim or anti-Jewish.

Only those that go out and bomb and murder, kidnap and murder, cause others to commit suicide while strapped with explosives, and commit other covert activities geared toward imposing their leaders' ideologies and personal agenda (to amass wealth and to weld power over others to satisfy their own sadistic egos) through fear and force. They hid behind the cloak of Islam to fool and connive and mislead others to believe in their so-called "holy" cause... which changes from day to day.

What many forget is that there is a huge majority of Muslims today that abhor violence and injustice, and they do not condone nor excuse what those so-called "fundamentalists" (or fanatics) are doing; just as there are majorities within the Christians and Jewish communities that likewise abhor violence and war and injustice!

The only terrorists that I can think of here in America would be the KKK, the neo-Nazis and Skinheads and a few other equally mentally-deficient groups (they claim to be Christians, forgetting that JC was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, and died as a Jew; they hate Jews and Blacks and all non-Whites in the world and used murder, lynchings and bombings upon other Christians to instill fear).

There have been tribal wars going on in Muslim countries for hundreds of years, where they still murder, torture, rape, mutilate, etc., and it fails to make the news.

Let's face it, not everyone wearing a uniform is always on his best behavior and the minute one of those misfits that managed to get into an American uniform commits a crime, those with the most blood on their hands are among the first to voice outrage as though they were delicate ladies at a tea party, but they forget what they themselves have done and are quick to blame the entire country that has gone in to help while they sacrifice the lives of their troops, sacrificed their own economy (and their own poor, elderly, disabled and retired living in substandard homes and having to decide whether to buy life-sustaining medicines or food), billions of dollars in aid for education and medicine and medical aid much of which has been STOLEN by their own leaders (which could've been used in our own country), building materials, arms intended for them to become self-sustaining, giving them all an opportunity to become a democracy, to enable them to live with liberties, rights and freedoms, and to educate ALL of their young regardless of gender (contrary to those fundamentalists that would keep women hidden away, illiterate and perpetual slaves), and an opportunity to end bloodshed and anarchy.

There are some here in America that are a bit bewildered since those that DEMAND help then turn around and complain when they get it... you can please some of the people most of the time but you surely can't please 'em all. Yes, there are atrocities committed in all wars and often by all sides involved, but the Americans did not go in there to deliberately commit atrocities or human rights abuses but to try to bring about stability and help organize some semblance of a democracy; but, whoever said that war was a social event or anything equated with a game of cricket? Ever hear the expression, "War is hell"?

Can you imagine the kind of bloodshed there will be in Iraq and Afghanistan if the US and the other countries there were to pull out tomorrow? Then what?

This exemplifies the old proverb, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

EDITED HERE TO ADD: I don't agree with those emails sent to me stating that people in Iraq and Afghanistan are not not civilized enough to know how to live in a democracy; to those that sent me those emails... shame on you!

Neocons were liberals in the 60s who changed their party affiliation, don't insult them. I don't think anybody is praying for McVeigh regardless of what he was.

No, I don't think he was a Muslim. Media claims he was mentally unstable. But in truth no one knows who carried out those terrible crimes. Similar as to who assasinated JFK. Peace be upon all.

I pray for all the souls of those who their ignorance or hate do bad things. I pray for Tim, I pray for muslims, I will now even pray for you.

End the hate, join God's love.

I don't think it works like that.

People who go off the deep end for whatever reason, are a sadness to humanity.

I don't think he was Muslim. What do you mean by decons and cons? I don't think they pray for his soul, since he went to hell.
