tbaba1234: On a serious note, you are very correct. You can imagine someone that has never in his entire life do a research about Islam on his own will be shouting 72 virgins anytime he reads that some people are using the name of Islam to carry out atrocities. |

To start with, I would like to say that the term 'terrorist' is very subjective; some would argue very rightly that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. The famous term has come to stay with us whether we like it or not and it's a word that has been imprinted in our ears from time to time by the western media to depict groups against there own sellfish interests. I would like to go back in history here: there was this group in Israel (Hagganah) [/b]that started attacking British interests in palestine (modern day Israel). There tactics and targets then would by today's standards qualify them as a terrorist group. But then there aim was to frustrate the british government and send them packing. Of course, the British got tired and left. Leaving Israel and movinng on to Egypt, some groups of persons came together to win their land from British colonial rule. The name of the group was[b] 'the islamic brotherhood'. Yet gain, their tactics and target by today's standards would easily qualify them as terrorists. Going forward, the PLO was born to win back palestine from the Israelis (or Jews as antisemitics like to call them). The PLO [/b]used such tactics as bombings and kidnappings and hijackings to fight for their cause. Let's go to 1960s to 1980s Germany (then West Germany), there was the [b]'Red Army Faction'. Now the Red Army Faction used all these tactics as the groups above mentioned and in fact collaborated with PLO in carrying out some attacks. All the RAF wanted was a communist Germany, not that they were under any form of oppression. They kidnapped high ranking officials and killed them, bombings, hijackings and even collaborated with the PLO. In Ireland, there was the IRA [/b]and the [b]Sein Fein, they hated the fact that the Brithish were ruling their land and they employed tactics that today would brand them terrorists. Now in the same Ireland, a group opposed to the IRA and the Sein Fein also employed same tactics to further their aims. Fastforwaarding to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Mujahadins (which somehow metamorphorsed into the Taleban [/b]today) were fighting against the Soviets to liberate their land from what they saw as infidel contamination of a muslim land. Hezbollah was born to comfront Israel. The [b]FARC in colombia are fighting for a communist colombia and thus carry out bombings, hijackings and the likes. Whether muslim or not, Jewish or Irish, every nation or groups of people who feel aggreived has at one time or the other employed brutal and unconventional means to liberate themselves and frustrate their oppressors. This to me is the truth. The dividing line between a terrorist and a non-terrorist, is legitimising attacks on civilians. That to me is what makes a terrorist. The moment u hate jews and attack every jew, hate muslims and thus attack every muslim, hate christian and thus attack every christian, etc you should be termed a terrorist. The problem we have today however, is that there are so many groups and splinter groups that were not established to liberate anything or anyone but to propagate there ideaology through violence against not just military targets but civilians alike- (al-qaeda in the Islamic Mahreb (AQIM), Boko Haram, Al-shabab, Al-qaeda. Talking about media coverage, the media CNN, BBC, and the likes are closely controlled by these ppowerful countries and you only see what they want you to see, that's why aljazeera is hated by the US govt and military. Another fact exists though that cannot be disputed, there are more muslim extremist groups than any other religion in this present world. But yet again some woould argue that the American millitary machine with all its technology kills more civilians than any other islamic extremist group. The bottom line is this if your action involves lots of civilian deaths and those actions strike fear into the entire populace, you are a terrorist!!!!! #my honest and humble submission.

Black Peni5: To answer the OPs question. Non-muslim terrorists get as much media attention as muslim ones. However lets draw a clear line between these two groups. Non-Muslim terrorist have little or no religious inclination. They terrorise people out of greed for money or power. Hardly will a non-muslim terrorist blow himself up. Others do it for political gains. In these cases, the reason for their action is clear and can be tackled easily. Now Muslim terrorists want to Islamize the whole world which is very unrealistic. They also see non-muslims as lesser humans. These people are ready to blow themselves up to cause maximum damage. The western media gives them the attention because they've not been able to understand their ideology. I also wonder why d OP is complaining about media coverage of Muslim terrorists. All Terrorists love media attention in order make them feel powerful. In anycase, all terrorists are criminals irrespective of their cause.Aside d ignorants boko haram dt claimed in d name f Islam, whose else group want 2 islamise d world whch is in total deviation 2 islamic injuctn. |

stone07: Mr man we are not saying you shld analyse numbers of those that are kill. Our discussion is based on y media attenttion is more on islamic terrorists, in which d correct answer to it is because islamic terrorists kill human being in mass in their God's name. Tell us why u are supporting this evil. I disagree, the focus of this thread is the near non-existent coverage of non-Muslim terrorist activities. |

Here is a Wikipedia excerpt for the LRA: Initially, there was no such movement called LRA against the Ugandan government. On the contrary, it was the Ugandan government army who operated under the name NRA National Resistance Army before they changed their name to UPDF Uganda People's Defence Force. They terrorised the civilians by burning homes, looting livestock, killings, rapes, spreading HIV disease, genocide.[9][10] The Ugandan army were also the first to recruit children, and they continued to do so unabated. In June 2006, Radhika Coomaraswamy, the UN's special representative for children, found more than 5000 children recruited in the Ugandan government army.[11] The insurgency by the government's NRA led to the formation of the rebel group called the Lord's Resistance Army. Ideologically, LRA believe in African mysticism, Christian fundamentalism, and Islam. Also google Lords Resistance Army and you'll find up to date reports on them. |

Realistically, the media blow such things out of proportion because its the top thing. Any 'killing(s)' is in the press and that's how you got to know those that aint muslim initiated but those by muslims are more like 'they've come again o' - coz its routine to expect violence from muslims All terrorists are muslims but not all muslims are terrorists- agreed Those christians who kill others don't do it coz of their religion but the muslims will scream "Alahu Akbar" to honour their religion-more like letting their 'father' know they're coming |

The Texan who crashed his paned into the tax office. He was not a muslim before the act! The NLFT in India' the british IRA The LRA in Uganda The hutaree in USA The American soldiers in Irag destroying mosques and spraying crosses on them were not muslim I concede that it is possible that the power-that-be forced them to convert to Islam in order to achieve this categorisation of all Muslims as terrorists I reckon that Breivik is also now a Muslim by that measure So would be his polish colleagues who wanted to take down the parliament! iv4fb: So who are we to believe? The NLFT that convert people to Christianity by force Sarah Palin who said the illegal Iraqi war was a task from God the American soldiers saying or YOU? |

No one, no matter the reason they have, including the Police, should take the law into their hands Self defence is the only justification Even that, as shown in the Trayvon Martin and Zimmerman issue, can be abused |
