If God is a faith God, then why would he be behind a terrorist organization that operates on fear? Isn't that the opposite of God?

Come on now, I am seeing some good answers. By the way I am only interested in one government and that is the government of the Kingdom of God.
The biblical word fear means respecting the awe of God. Not to be afraid.....

God is behind a terrorist organization?
Hello convoluted ideas!!
Fear is not trusting God who will always have what is best for you - often beyond what we can see.
I like your questions though.

Terrorist methods are intended to control mankind. Why a monarchical hierarchy in The Kingdom of Heaven? because during the time of the authorship of the Bible monarchies were the fashion Kings governed lands of the Middle East, even today many of the states are still monarchies like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan etc. The model is one of God as a tyrant ruling the Universe even though this conflicts with modern notions of democracy

I wouldn't think so. Fear is a natural reaction to stimulus. Faith has to be learned. "god" did not bestow faith as a reaction, but it is taught and encouraged. What God did give us as humans is free will -the ability to decide right from wrong and the ability to make the distinction.

What makes you think he is behind a terrorist organization? And to add to your question why should He be on the side of an ignorant, illiterate egoist like Bush? I ask this because in the center of your question you are implying that He should be on the side of America. What makes you think He likes either one of us?

Not exactly.
The opposite of fear is peace. Faith relies on fear to keep the gullible sheep in the pews and handing their money to con men and charlatans in the form of "tithe".

Faith is believing something without proof. The only reason you would do that is fear. So they are related, not opposite.

to fear is to sin against God. If we have fear, worry, or aniexty we believe more in the situation then we do God to overcome and have control of our lives. Having fear is believing something is greater than God Himself.............

He isn't behind Muslim terrorist organizations, nor is He behind Christian ones like the IRA.
