they relate it to the religion because the terrorist them selves relate it, and the truth is that these people do not have an adequate amount of knowledge of Islam. The Quran is far away from what they do, and even warn the people who do so. Islam is the most peaceful religion, these terrorists want to understand the religion the way they want, they twist the fact's of Islam, so they can use them to cover there bad ways. however, Islam is not anywhere near that.

I agree with you on some things, but not everything. Such as, yes Muslims are victims to other Muslims. More Muslims are being victimized by other Muslims. They are being killed, subjected, and forced into a life that may be right for the past, but not any more. More Muslims were killed by other Muslims than any other. Did you hear the terrorist attack done in Jordan during a wedding. The targets were Muslims, female, male, children, young and old people. If you look in the Quran it tells you not to kill the elders, the women or the children. But just in this case as many others, you will see that young and old, no matter what was their gender are being targeted by some Muslims.
You say "The Korans never say the terrorism is legal"!!! You should read the Quran. You will see that what some see those actions as terrorism, some Muslims see it as Jihad. May God help them and you all, for you are the first victims of your people more than any other. Yes. Do open your eyes, and read your Quran.

Yes, the Koran does not say that killing another is appropriate. Murder is murder.
But the people who are the leaders in terrorism are able to easily manipulate young men who have little or no hope in their societies: high unemployment, government/political freedoms/jobs/etc. heavily managed by strong-armed leaders.
These young men find it hard to retaliate against their own government because places like Syria and Saudi Arabia have huges intelligence networks and the ability to put people in jail (or worse) with little or no evidence. However, since we have so many freedoms in our country or in European countries comparatively it is easy to go after those people and justify it because 1) we have international/economic/military agreements with some of these countries and 2) these countries' leader benefit from keeping peoples anger and rage focused on the U.S. and not on their own governments.
Yes, there is a religious link but it is really secondary to the geo-political link. Most people who are well read about these things immediate go to the Muslim versus Christian link.
For both sides it is way too easy to argue at these visceral level (and not think) so people just do it. Sad, really.

I think terrorists will use religion, rather than the other way around. A religion should normally not be blamed for terrorism.
I disagree with the Muslim foaith for many reasons. But if I reject Islam because of what muslim terrorists do, I would also have to reject Christianity for what both Protestant and catholic terrorists have done in Ireland and England, and for what the Crusaders did. But I know none of that had anything to do with christianity, it was people who used religion as an excuse to pursue their own perverted ends.

YOU open your eyes! You seem to be looking on the other side. It is always your fellow Muslims who shouts ALLAHU AHBAR ! ! every time they shoot someone or they downed a plane or before the struck WTC. American and other Western soldiers never shout in Jesus' name in every bullet fired. They only shout Long Live America! but not during the engagement and they all pray together for guidance yet everytime they have killed someone, it affects their conscience and our country feel sorry for that while you dance crazily on the street everytiime you hurt someone. Bible too never say terrorism is legal.
Aren't the Shiites and Sunnis Muslims? They're the ones massacring each other don't they?

It's odd that terrorism against citizens of other countries and other religions have been happening since the early 70's. Ever since the Middle East has been rolling in oil money, people have been being blown up. Olympics, airports, airplanes, buses and buildings. Please, you open your eyes before the world does start to retaliate. The Koran states that a true believer can commit no crime against the infidel. That means that no crimes exist in the eyes of Allah against the unbeliever. I never understood your religion but I agree with you rights to believe in it.

Terrorism is not taught in any of the 3 main World Religions. It is taught by sick individuals. Moderate Muslims are opposed to terrorism just as much as the rest of us.

It's not the religion that encourages terrorism. It's the religious leaders (splinter groups) that promise their followers a pass to Heaven if they will die killing someone else.

There is a "fringe element" in all religions. In Christianity too. They use their "god" as an excuse to inflict terror.
