Is "the war on terror" really a war of religions?

Question

The Judea-Christian world VS The Islamic world. I see it as "2s company, but 3s a croud".

Answer 1

When you see one fool on a corner arguing with another fool,
all you really see is two fools arguing

Answer 2

Technically, no, I don't believe the war on terror is a war of religions. There have, after all been terrorist of every background and religious affiliation. However, with that said, there ARE certain belief systems which naturally, through their sacred scriptures, promote violence towards those who do not follow the same belief system. Islam is one of those.

One difference when facing Islam is that a person is no longer talking just a religious debate but a debate on all facets of human life because, as muslims see it, there is no distinction between government and religion, or private life and religion. Therefore, if someone wrongs you in one aspect of life, everything is affected.

For those who disagree, I would ask this question: If Islam is a peaceful religion as he politically coorect crowd portrays, why is there so little negative response, if there is a response at all, when a Muslim group attacks Isreal or the US?

So in reality, yes it is tturning into a battle of ideologies.

Answer 3

I would specifically say that it is a war caused from vain religion.

For pure and true religion does not war on flesh but war on spirits. As christ prophesied in John 16:1-3

1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Answer 4

The religions have been fighting for dominance since day one. They don't want the followers to realize that if there really was a man living in a cloud who loves us the way the religions claim, that he does, He would come down and say, "What are you crazy people doing with all the killing being done in my name".

Answer 5

there is no such thing as the "war on terror". terrorism is a tactic employed by people who can not afford to wage conventional warfare. you can not make war on a tactic.

and altho religion is often used as a justification for waging war (guerrilla or conventional) it's more about controlling resources and territory through enforced ideology than about "God".

PS. any American pointing an accusing generalized finger at Islam best look at history lest they be a hypocrite.

Answer 6

many people have an incorrect theory correct to the crusades. while atrocities have been committed on the two facets, this grew to become into no longer only an occasion of Christian aggression against an harmless people team. in actuality the 1st marketing campaign grew to become into prepared with a view to reclaim land that have been captured by skill of the Ottoman Turks. The Byzantine Empire grew to become into no longer able to recuperate territory lost in the process the preliminary Muslim conquests decrease than the expansionist Rashidun and Umayyad caliphs in the Arab–Byzantine Wars and the Byzantine–Seljuq Wars; those conquests culminated in the shortcoming of fertile farmlands and great grazing factors of Anatolia in 1071, after a sound victory by skill of the occupying armies of Seljuk Turks on the conflict of Manzikert. city II sought to reunite the Christian church decrease than his management by skill of offering Emperor Alexios I with militia help. a number of hundred thousand Roman Catholic Christians grew to become crusaders by skill of taking a public vow and receiving plenary indulgences from the church. those crusaders have been Christians from throughout Western Europe decrease than feudal fairly than unified command, and the politics have been in lots of situations complicated to the element of intra-faith opposition best to alliances between fighters of distinctive faiths against their coreligionists, such via fact the Christian alliance with the Islamic Sultanate of Rûm in the process the 5th marketing campaign.

Answer 7

No it is a war for world domination. When the european union comes it will have control of the whole world. They are using the US army to destroy countries with dictaters that will not submit to the european union. Iran, North Korea, Iraq. I think that it is this, plus a statement to all other countries that if you dont fall in line, you will be attacked.

Answer 8

It does seem that way sometimes, doesn't it...?

Many Christians don't believe in the validity of the Qur'an or of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). There are no doubts in my mind that there could be many religious Christian soldiers serving in the US Armed Forces who would view it that way...

It's not any different from the way the soldiers or "freedom fighters" (refered to collectively as terrorists, without clear distinction from those who really are such) from the other side view things either...

Answer 9

Here's the Thing....

The Radical Islamic world is prepared to do that which the Judea-Christian world is not...

There has never been an "enemy" like the Radical Muslims...

willing to trade their life for their belief...

That's it and that's all...

Answer 10

The point of any war is for its continuation. Wars are self defeating, ultimately sides don't matter, the mounting costs just become too high for any side.

Answer 11

It is a political way--about land, power, oil, and money with all sides invoking God for victory. Sounds like you yourself have made it a religious war to you.
