Its useful crowd control though. Religious people are relatively easily lead, especially against members of other religions. And abrahamites (jews, christians, muslims) that believe life here on earth is just a temporary stop on the way to the "real" place, are obviously going to be a little less concerned with the death of others.

Mostly Muslim religious people.

I hear you, but if not religion, then it will be something else. They're just story books, where too many people take seriously and interpret into whatever they want and give their own little twist to it. Then you get nutbars who are easily moved by the interpretation of these fantasy books and they find an excuse to release their craziness.

Mostly Muslim religious people. You know, your friends in Gaza, and Iran, etc.

Yeah because the other Abrahamic religions have never done anything crazy...

Yeah Catholics are taking hostages in the name of the Pope all the time.

They don't have to take hostages they have drones.

The Vatican has an air force?

They don't need one. Don't kid yourself in thinking that people don't join the army, navy and air forces of the world for religious reasons. Especially after 2003. Racially and religiously motivated killings happen in war too. They're just more tolerated by society because they can't prove its racially or religiously motivated.

We don't even have to get into the catholics churches collusion with hitler, the witch trials, the heretic trials, the crusades, the inquisitions, the forced conversions of native americans, as well as their attempted genocides of native americans. Remember Christianity has a couple centuries on Islam. None of the Abrahamic religions are innocent, so don't pretend they are.

Not to mention the fact that your comparing someone killing in the name of the religion. Why would the vatican need to do anything, just like ISIS didn't need to do anything. They didn't do the killing, someone did it for them.

Hitler reference. Goodwin's law has to apply at some point.

You'll need to provide citation that Catholics, in present day, are committing terrorism at any comparable rate to people that do it in the name of Islam.

I don't know of any countries that use the Catholic Church as a state religion. There are plenty of nations that have Islam as a state religion.

However ISIS is also doing a lot of killing themselves.

I think I've proven this true.

Beside the point. The point is no Abrahamic religion is innocent. As proven above. You only have to look as far as Pro-life christians killing medical professionals for religious violence commited by christians. Or some crazy women killing her kids so they can see god.

Christians are crazy people too.

Christians do crazy things. But when was the last time a Christian killed an abortion doctor? Can't keep going back to that well.

People inspired by Islam are regularly committing violence in the name of their faith. Often they're killing other Muslims.

This women attempted to kill her children to see Jesus.

This crazy chick dressed up her 3 daughters in white and stabbed 2 of them so they could see jesus.

Both from this year and that's just the first two pages I found on google.

They may not be as prevalent but they do happen.

The reality is all religions have blood stains, some admittedly bigger than others. But don't sit there and act likes Christians take the high ground on crazy, they are knee deep in crazy.

Indeed, Roman Catholic inspired violence, including hostage taking, hasn't happened for like a bazillion years.........

People inspired by nationalism and religion kill by justifying the action. A pilot in a plane knows by pressing the button to release the missile, he will most likely kill innocent people. He does it anyway, because our culture has made it to be okay. For some reason some people like to believe that there is a difference in killing innocent people, when it can be prevented, in the way it's done and in who the killer is.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi

Nationalism isn't religion though.

A Canadian that volunteers for the military and follow orders is very different than what ISIS is calling for.

The IRA is an exception, even then it's more a front for a war against the British more than a love for the Pope.

Folks,

Avoid inflammatory rhetoric.

#1, it's against the rules to deliberately change a poster's name. It's a deliberate and nefarious attempt to smear a poster rather than address the subject.

Correct. This insulting habit should be avoided. It only brings down the decorum in the forum.

We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society.

It's standard operating procedure for the usual suspects of the forum to divert to other religions whenever an act of radical Islam is involved. Happens each and every time, like clockwork.

Isn't it always a response to someone equating radical islam with islam in general, which happens each and every time like clockwork?

Any logical person can see that there's a specific issue with Islam at this point in history. Ignoring that is ignoring science.
