Terrorism carried out by Christians, tooTerrorism carried out by Christians, too
Are all terrorists Muslims as some have alleged? The European Union law enforcement office just released an assessment of terror in 2009. The report says Islamist terrorism is still perceived as the biggest threat to most Member States, despite the fact that only one Islamist terrorist attack a bomb attack in Italy took place in the EU in 2009.
This attack is one out of about 400 failed, foiled or successful attacks reported. There were 110 arrests of suspected Islamists out of a total of 587 arrests for associations with terror groups or failed, foiled or successful attacks. This statistic excludes a large number of Christian terrorists arrested in the UK primarily from IRA and Protestant groups.
The Global Terror Database, a project of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, documents 87,000 terrorist incidents from 1970 through 2008. It documents far more acts of terror in the United States by right-wing terrorists and animal rights terrorists than by Islamists.
For example, since 1990, 47 law enforcement officials and security guards were murdered by white supremacists and other right-wing extremists.
Are there other Christian terrorists? The Lords Resistance Army in Uganda, for example, wants to establish a Christian theocracy in the name of Jesus Christ in Uganda. In two years, they have killed 2,000 and displaced another 400,000.
Terror on our planet is driven by political agendas of the left and the right and is perpetrated by alleged followers of many religions.
interesting view!
Certainly you must know that the designation as Christian there is not about the Christian faith, right? So, when a person there is called a Christian, it really means nothing. It is like a republican and democrat, there is nothing true about either, they just appose each other, and take sides to do that.
So, this statement is worthless, at best.
