Answer 1

It's a proven fact that when hardcore muslim countries don't have anyone to kill, they kill each other.

Answer 2

I know. The thing is, the media make people believe that terrorists are all muslim and blah blah blah... Read below:

Biggest bomb plot in British history - doesn't make news

Why?

Because the suspects are NEITHER ARAB, NOR MUSLIM.

A RETIRED Grange dentist is accused of being part of a bomb plot after a record number of explosives were seized in a Lancashire town.

David Bolais Jackson, 62, of Trent Road, Nelson, was arrested on Friday in the Lancaster area after leaving his Grange practice for the last time.

Jackson was charged with being in possession of an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose. [Notice the absence of terrorism charges]

However, it is unclear who or what the intended target might have been.

Police found rocket launchers, chemicals, British National Party literature and a nuclear or biological suit [!!!] at his home.

The find came shortly after they had recovered 22 chemical components from the house of his alleged accomplice, Robert Cottage, a former BNP election candidate, who lives in Colne.

The haul is thought to be THE LARGEST EVER FOUND AT A HOUSE IN THIS COUNTRY.

Aaah, so what? What's a few rocket launchers and a record number of explosives among friends?

They probably had them 'just in case' some Arab Muslims showed up to sell them falafel or hummus - or worse yet, baklava.

After all, they're white - they would never harm their fellow Brits. Whoops! I could be wrong:
[T]he last London mad-bomber – neo-Nazi David Copeland, who nail-bombed the Admiral Duncan and two other pubs in 1999 – caused far more genuine fear than all these alleged Islamist plots in the alleged "pre-planning" (ie coffee-shop ********) stage.

Copeland "only" killed three people (and maimed about a dozen more) but not for want of trying – the blast of the last bomb he placed was blocked by a pillar. Targeting places where gay, black and Asian people hang out – ie inner-city pubs with good music and food – he was charged simply with murder.
Let's compare and contrast how Cottage, possessing both rocket launchers and explosives, was treated with how Arab Muslim 'suspects', armed with nothing but their names, were treated:

Unlike the Forest Gate raid in east London in June, which involved 250 police, some of them armed, Lancashire police entered Cottage's home with a handful of unarmed officers.

There was no “air exclusion zone” or assaults on neighbours, no closing down of surrounding streets, and no smear stories about those arrested.

Superintendent Neil Smith instantly moved to reassure residents and stressed, “It is not a bomb making factory.” He was able to add that it was not related to terrorism.

Let's face it - it's just not newsworthy.

Move along, there's nothing to see here.

Answer 3

Because the media rarely reports on the terrorist activities of extremist animal, and tree rights people, To my knowledge we haven't had any other kind of terrorist attacks in the past ten years. There is even peace in Ireland. I bet you I could name you ten Muslims terrorist for every 1 of another kind of terrorist you can name, Could do more but 10 would make my point.

Answer 4

Well, it's the truth.
You just can't close your eyes and pretend this is not happening. Don't tell me that 9/11 and other previous violent attacks on Christians and Jews are a myth or make believe?.
The point is, has any organized Christian religion or sect ever persecuted Muslims in the present time? If this has happened in the past, some 1400 years ago, why don't you review history and find out who started the fire?
The Crusade just did not happen for a stupid and selfish unreasonable cause.. It all started when Muslims started pillaging and killing Christians and their kingdoms.

Answer 5

Timothy McVie was a Christian. He blew up the Murrow building in OK killing a lot of children. So you are so right. Terrorist can come from anywhere. Difference is that the Muslim terrorists only do it once (each)!

Answer 6

just because some muslims are terrorists it doesn't mean all muslims are terrorists. you can't blame 1.5 billion people for the actions of 5. some christians, jews, buddhists, etc. might commit crimes but it doesn't mean all christians, jews, etc. are crimanals. it's the media that tricks our minds.

Answer 7

But they are not they are all from the Muslims and no other group that call them selves religious has better sense than to go out killing innocent people like the stupid Muslims do and they have the nerve to say they are waging holly war. Now what is holly about killing women and babies or anyone as far as that goes. All Muslims are going straight to hell because they believe that bullsh*t about Allah He is a pedophile who took a six year old girl and raped her and called her his wife.

Answer 8

Good point but terrorist dont need to be religious, the federal govt.
Insurance companies,GAS CO. EXECS.,big business(at&t)., etc.
etc.ALL TERRORISTS,but the muslims seem to have the market on how to do it violently.

Answer 9

Because that is what the media has brainwashed the American people to believe, look at history when they put anyone with an Asian background in concentration camps. The media is our worst enemy. all they have to do is say we are out of flu shots and every tom dick and harry will be screaming for a shot. it is the MEDIA bad news sells and we only get half@ss stories.

Answer 10

It's unfortunately true that some people will swallow any tripe the media tries to scare and scar us with. If the media wouldn't focus on stupid things all the time we may be more tolerant and non-judgemental about other people. Hitler was a Christian, after all, so you're right-they CAN be from any religion!
