People often equate terrorism with Islam. Can any of those give examples of Islamic terrorism prior to 1967?

Question

It seems to be drummed in from the media "Islamic" and "terrorist" linked as if that is a natural connection.
Do you think it is? or do you think?

I'm not saying there wasn't, by the way.

Answer 1

nah i cant give u an example and dont worry every race of colour or religon that is not christain is being treated this way, cruel world isnt it?
Blacks = Evil, Stupid, Animals
Muslim - Terrorist
Asain = Muslim - Terrorist
Italian = Mafia = Fear
etc the list goes on, funny how white people are seen as diverse and we are not, we are put in groups, and they are the least diverse race on the planet. And has it is definatley its so the American president can fool people to belief they are doing a good thing by invading Iraq, when all the want is more money, more oil, FYI they havnt found any weapons of massed distruction yet, and Iraq is becoming just as bad as Africa ( history repeating itself) And i belief the only reason terrorist are causing terror is because they want america out of Iraq, its their freaking oil! yea they got rid of saddam ( gd coz he was reeking havoc) but after they shud have left. Plus theres american ''heros'' down there raping women and killing families everyday in Iraq they cant justify that. Its like Vietnam and Africa all over again and Americas people are too washed up in there rich american hollywood lifestyle to say anything. Any idiot can tell what Bush is up to.

Answer 2

Fact: Islamic terrorism has a history, a rap sheet, that is over 1400 years old.

Fact: Middle Eastern muslims sided with the Nazis of WW2 infamy.

What you apparently do not promulgate is that these enemies of the WW2 allies continue in their anti-semitic, anti-Western objectives.

The bad news is that Islamism continues to drum up criminally violent goals that more often that not result in ruin and ruble for their own peoples. Consider for example what the Palestinian extremists have accomplished for their peoples, or what Saddam Hussein and his remnants extant in Iraq are accomplishing for the majority of Iraqis.

Terrorism and Islam is the de facto definition.

You should reconsider your position and promote what practioners of Islam could do to change this reality.

Answer 3

It depends on what you call "terrorism". If you simply mean non-symmetric warfare, you might be right. If you include genocide, and unprovoked invasions of other countries, according to some historians, violence in Islam can be traced back to the very early days of the history of Islam.

History of the Jihad against the Hindus of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (638 - ongoing)

This site brings you the history of the Islamic Jihad from its beginnings at Mecca in 620 C.E. up to 9/11, and the lessons it has for us in today’s challenging times. If we are to understand Islam, we need to understand the temperament of its founder Mohammed (PBUH*), the way victorious Muslims have treated the subject people, and above all the reasons for the victory of Islam.

This site is dedicated to frank and fearless reporting and commenting on the Islamic Jihad...

------------------------------------
...So what is the truth about the Crusades? Scholars are still working some of that out. But much can already be said with certainty. For starters, the Crusades to the East were in every way defensive wars. They were a direct response to Muslim aggression—an attempt to turn back or defend against Muslim conquests of Christian lands.

Christians in the eleventh century were not paranoid fanatics. Muslims really were gunning for them. While Muslims can be peaceful, Islam was born in war and grew the same way. From the time of Mohammed, the means of Muslim expansion was always the sword. Muslim thought divides the world into two spheres, the Abode of Islam and the Abode of War. Christianity—and for that matter any other non-Muslim religion—has no abode. Christians and Jews can be tolerated within a Muslim state under Muslim rule. But, in traditional Islam, Christian and Jewish states must be destroyed and their lands conquered. When Mohammed was waging war against Mecca in the seventh century, Christianity was the dominant religion of power and wealth. As the faith of the Roman Empire, it spanned the entire Mediterranean, including the Middle East, where it was born. The Christian world, therefore, was a prime target for the earliest caliphs, and it would remain so for Muslim leaders for the next thousand years....

Answer 4

Sure. Here's a whole buttload of a list. Enjoy.

Muslims try to blame their own terroristic activity on Jews coming home to their own ancestral land - which many of them never left in the first place, by the way. And which was a nation, called ISRAEL, over a thousand years before Islam even existed. Before THAT it was called Canaan, not "Palestine".

Terrorism is a personality defect. This is just a list for Israel, Im sure others can find multiple examples of it elsewhere for instance in Northern Africa and elsewhere when Muslims invaded and forced all the indigenous peoples there to become Muslims or be tortured and killed, centuries before 1967. Many today are there STILL trying to take back the rights to speak their own ancestral native languages and go back to their own customs.

Answer 5

Yes. While most muslims are quite peaceful, the religion was spread through violence (So was Christianity). The term jihad came from Mohammed's time. Then it meant to spread and protect the Islamic faith as it is "the one true faith". The Muslim empire was spread with violence. Jews and Christians could convert or pay taxes as they were "people of the book". Others had to convert to Islam, or die.

Jihad's meaning has been twisted today, but the early jihads are the earliest example of violence in Islam. I wouldn't call it terrorism, but there it is.

Just want to clear this up, I am NOT racist, I do NOT hate muslims, and I do NOT think they are all terrorists. But you can't argue with the facts that their religion has a violent past.

Answer 6

During WWII Muslim countries sided with the Nazis, because they really LOVED what Hitler was doing to the Jews. As a result, Allied soldiers in the North African campaign who fell into Arab hands were very often murdered and their mutilated corpses hung up from poles to display Islamic ideas of peacefulness and civilization. That kind of behavior was not an aberration among the Muslims, but routine.

Answer 7

I would like to suggest the 300 years after Muhammad's death. Islam was spread primarily with the sword. Or how about Muhammad himself killing 300 defenseless Jews. any killing like that should be considered terror. It has been a part from Day one.

Answer 8

that's no longer maximum suitable and this you would be able to correctly celebrate with it if those with little awareness of Islam could grow to be greater knowledgable before they make such outlandish assertion. Islam, the religion of peace, notably prohibits the kinds of terrorist activities we are presently seeing. Such is forbidden in the two the Holy Qur'an and interior the Sunna Hadith. One does not could be a Muslim so as to be waiting to help genuine suggestion. One merely desires to be hassle-free. i could advise to the guy asking the question that he examine a duplicate of the Holy Qur'an (A. Yusuf Ali has made a touch advantageous translation for the non-Arabic interpreting inhabitants) and flow on line to inspect the Sunna Hadith, as properly because of the fact the existence of the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him , upon his kin and upon his followers. you're able to additionally discover "Mohammad, a Prophet For Our cases" with the aid of Karen Armstrong an intersting and arranged biography of the final Prophet of Allah Subhanna wa Ta'ala. This Buddhist stumbled on all such exciting and informative. might it extremely is properly with you.

Answer 9

Sure, the massacres of Jewish settlers from the 1920s to 1940s.

However, I don't think Islam=terrorism. And I'm willing to admit as a Jew that atrocities have been committed on both sides.

Answer 10

It's a proven fact that Christians and Jews accept and condemn *publicly* all the violence in our old history. Can you say the same about Islam???? Your own question proves otherwise!
