Melech 9,900 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Terrorism doesn't have a religion. We have seen that people of all different backgrounds are capable of terrorist attacks with their own agenda, except media rushes to justify some with "parking dispute" or "mental illness" Terrorism is influenced by an ideology. Yes. It can have different. White supremacy for example. But also religious background. (In this cases Islamic terrorist attacks). If it were Christian or jewish terrorist attacks I'd also call them Christian or jewish terrorist attacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melech 9,900 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I don't think you would, but ok.Both of them barely happen nowadays. But there were several Christian influenced massacres in the past. (e.g the crusades) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(e.g the crusades) They don't get labeled in the media as such but they do exist. In Africa there are Christian terrorist groups. And in Palestine "price-tag" attacks are terrorist attacks, and they do happen often. But no one calls it Jewish terrorism. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 6,707 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Although this is warranted news, I would like to merge this with the Isis discussion so it can continue to be discussed there. However, if the op would rather not, I'll hold off.Seems like numerous attacks are going on from Isis... Think this is coordinated or coincidental from different, isolated cells? :( Stand in the light, cast your shadow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(e.g the crusades) Just curious, would you label the gunman who shot up the Charleston church as a Christian terrorist though he was racially motivated? Stand in the light, cast your shadow.

Shadow 6,707 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Pardon if this is off topic, but brought up for discussion purposes only to show examples of terrorism from other sects: They don't get labeled in the media as such but they do exist. In Africa there are Christian terrorist groups. And in Palestine "price-tag" attacks are terrorist attacks, and they do happen often. But no one calls it Jewish terrorism.Actually, there was something related that happened in Galilee, is this a new trend or have attacks from Jewish assailants happened against Christians under the news media radar?Israeli Jewish Terrorists Burn Church of Loaves and Fishes Multiplication in the Galilee, Write Anti-Christian Graffiti on its Wallshttp://www.aljazeerah.info/Opinion Editorials/2015/June/22 o/Israeli Jewish Terrorists Burn Church of Loaves and Fishes Multiplication in the Galilee, Write Anti-Christian Graffiti on its Walls By Mazin Qumsiyeh.htm Stand in the light, cast your shadow.

Melech 9,900 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The terrorist in France is called Yassin Salh, media reports Actually, there was something related that happened in Galilee, is this a new trend or have attacks from Jewish assailants happened against Christians under the news media radar? Israeli Jewish Terrorists Burn Church of Loaves and Fishes Multiplication in the Galilee, Write Anti-Christian Graffiti on its Walls http://www.aljazeerah.info/Opinion Editorials/2015/June/22 o/Israeli Jewish Terrorists Burn Church of Loaves and Fishes Multiplication in the Galilee, Write Anti-Christian Graffiti on its Walls By Mazin Qumsiyeh.htm Don't want to sound rude, but that has nothing to do with the topic now. Anyway what happened there wasn't really nice as well. I don't like btw how you say "Jewish assailants happened against Christians". Jews got persecuted by nearly every religion in the world and now you sound like Christians are the big victims of Jewish people when Jews still experience today racism in Christian/Western/Non-Jewish countries. Anti-semitic attacks barely get reported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they call them "jewish extremists" or "extremist settlers youth" and they are not all widely reported, 17 attacks on mosques and churches last year - almost no arrests. Other price-tag attacks are intentional running over civilians by car. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jews got persecuted by nearly every religion in the world and now you sound like Christians are the big victims of Jewish people when Jews still experience today racism in Christian/Western/Non-Jewish countries. technically, it is related if one pays attention to discussion and why it is important to carefully assess what motivates terrorism. It's not always religious reasons, even in the Middle East. The attack in the article did occur against a Christian church. If anything, Jews ought to know better than to act this way against other sects, especially after what they went through. I'm also sympathetic of the Jewish oppression, but that doesn't give them a free pass to oppress others. Stand in the light, cast your shadow.

If anything, Jews ought to know better than to act this way against other sects, esoecially after they went through. I'm also sympathetic of the Jewish oppression, but that doesn't give them a free pass to oppress others. The motives are quite sure in these attacks. Yes, and I condemn that attack but you and lego are acting like that every Jew hates Non-jews. It's only a huge minority. (Quite shocked that you used "Jews ought to know". The majority do knows. And the majority doesn't do anything). Secondly there are in the world 18 million jews. That's not even 1% of Worlds population . Do you really think that the extremists of that tiny group is that important? There are no Jewish crusades or a a group that has impact as ISIS. Seriously, I don't know what importance Jewish extremism has to do here now There's been a huge rise in anti-semitism in Europe, but I guess that isn't worth discussing,huh?
