I do not feel it is religieons that are the terrorist's, it is the exetremist's who are the terrorist's. Yes there religieon may have indoctrinated killing other into them.

But Define terrorism?

Have you ever heard of the saying, One mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter?

Honestly i believe religeion is blamed far too much for terrorism, as i personally do not have any beliefs about god or whatever.

How many people knew what terrorism was before 9/11? It only became associated with muslims, (i mean to cause no offense when i say this) after that happened. Now if anyone metions terrorism you straight away think about them. In the Uk we have had terrorism alot longer. The IRA attacks were terrorism but are they really remembered?

Bottom line is Religion is a cause for war over thing's that are possibly not true. Possibly an excuse for a fight.

In my very personal and humble opinion it is the religion which in fact orders person to kill or those people who explain religion to the common people.

Because as far as I can see in the news and reports from the world it is only the muslim who use suicide attacks. No other nation nor religion has made such things. I have never heared about Christian who killed himself on some square or attempted to blow the building with plane hijack.

So it is all coming from the muslim and they are extremists I agree and it is all down to the people who explain the Kuran to the young guys who then go to kill themselves. The point here is that they think that they will receive place in heaven and 72 virgins and so on. So you see Christianity doesn't promis such thing so no one is doing it. It is like kinda supply and demand. So the fact is that religion is infecting young people to commit such attempts and so on.

However if we look terrorism it is like way to fight the government and it is present in every religion and every society it is not affected by religion. Because there are bomb set ups in the Europe like IRA and ETA and so on. Which are making terrorist attacks however they have stopped in the past few years.

So terrorism itself is not infected by religion but extreme terrorism (like suicide bombers) is affected by religion.

Religion is apersonal belief and should be left at that. That the pther person is of a different religion should be seen as simply as that person has a different name than yours. IT just doesn't make a difference. The sooner people realise it the better. No religion states that people practising other religions are evil. The holy books are interpreted by vested interests to make it seem that way. As for Muslims and terrorism, the terrorists are only a miniscule portion who have been misguided by individuals to further their own personal agenda.
Also there is a problem of conversion. In poor countries Christian missionaries have been know to give money to people wh convert to their religion. Again this is a very small portion of the Christian population.
It is high time people realize that religion is a personal choice just as your hairstyle is.

I agree that religion is personal choice but you haven't answered other question why aren't there suicide killers in other civilizations or religions with exception Japan which is other way of suicide attack then those practices by muslims. You see this is the problem as Islam is violent religion and if they have holy wars against Christianity and their religious leaders call people to actually go to such war they will go.

And this happened in Christianity also but several hundreds years ago human civilization has evolved since that time and such radical approach should be abondened.

I think you are right! Religion is not the real cause of war.
However, you're questioning whether there is really a true religion. I can answer that question for you...
Remember, this is my opinion and don't worry, I won't kill you if you don't agree with me..LOL

I think that Islam is a true religion, because there are many scientific facts in the Qur'an, which still remains in its pure form from 1400 years ago.
You probably think I'm chatting a whole load, but I seriously am not.

Heres the website that I found out about the miracles of Islam on:
http://www.islam-guide.com/

Oh yeah, and if you don't agree with me, I don't mind.
If you ever do decide to accept Islam, I'll be happy for you!
