I am passing it along as a "heads up."

I figured as much...I take it as a legitimate threat. Thanks Ron!
But on a side note, I just find it interesting how some people, particularly those who tend to seem non-religious defend their favorite religious extremists by pointing out the violence of the opposing extremists...

As I said...they are all the same people hiding behind the facade of a particular religion. I'm starting tobelieve that some posters here may be their PR reps...

Lame? I'm sure there are just as many Islamic extremist attempts that are not reported. Have you heard of the group 'Repent Amarillo'? They are very real and promote violence, yet not in the national media. The KKK is still very much active, not so much in the national media. Just because you don't hear about them does not mean they are not plotting and committing small scale terror attacks. Westboro Church commit psychological terror attacks each time they show up at funerals. Funny how they hide behind 'freedom of speech' to commit these acts. Maybe you only consider it to be terror if a bomb goes off?

And a few other nationalist insurrections.

They are not listed unles a group takes credit for them

How about some of you apologists provide a list of christian terror attacks in the last couple months

In all fairness Marc, I think the politically discontent violent selfserving christian facade had a several hundred year head start on the politically discontent violent selfserving muslim facade.

They're all basically the same people comming at us from different angles at different times throughout history. Their goal is destruction, and they've all been rather sucessfull thus far.

edited to change "angels" to "angles."

How about in the last year?

Any?

Well, after having several hundred extra years to hone their skills, there is a tendancy to be a little more cunning. There are plenty of "christians" who play the whole "Angel of light" to a tee.

Catch up

I'll try...I'm dumber than you think.

Back to the future please

I see Buddhist and Hindu extremist comming into play as the far east fades away. Secular humanism will then evolve into an extremist state culminating into a full out religious holocaust.

I'm of course talking outta my ass, but it might make for a good twilight zone episode...

Christian and Hindu extremist groups have been active in India for a very long number of years. We just don't hear about them. You know, out of sight, out of mind.

What about the buddhists?

Maybe they'll start burning other people to death rather then themselves...

That is kind of funny (morbid, but funny.)

Seriously, I would consider any group that touts a religion or any type of belief as their motivation to cause harm on any scale to be a terrorist group. From words of hate to weapons of destruction the aim is the same, to instil a sense of fear, That is terrorism.

nnnn.... this argument is pretty thin, particularly in Iraq right now. If a majority of people are trying to get a government underway and an extremist group is setting off bombs in markets, mosques, and politicians' homes, that's not a civil war.

Since the thread is about jihadist attacks in the US, sectarian violence in Iraq is hardly pertinent.

The discussion evolved [devolved?] into which group of radical actors was loonier or had a greater propensity to be violent and dangerous.

Some people seem to be arguing that Islam is easier to misinterpret than Christianity, and therefore that "Muslims make better terrorists." My post was not in support of that argument, I just wanted to point out that wrapping what's going on in Iraq right now into a package and calling it a "civil war" in an effort to downplay it in the discussion isn't really fair either.

As I said, volume is not the only difference between terrorists attacks and a civil war, but the tenuous state of governments in the Middle East combined with the fact that there are simply more Islamic nutbars than Christian nutbars over there does largely explain why Marc's list is so long and why an equivalent list for Christianity would be much shorter. There just aren't that many large masses of Christians living under tenuous governments to foster violent nutbars these days.

At the end of the day it's an uncontrolled experiment of sorts, from which you can't really conclude anything positive or negative about the religions as a whole.
