Do you know any terrorist organization which is based...

Do you know any terrorist organization which is based on religion other than that of ISLAM? I do not mean the members , I mean the terrorist organization based on religious ideology. Just want to see how religion and terrorism are linked ?

 

you can just google it
but here is a simplistic list
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_organisations

 

The question should be - of the religious terrorist groups which ones follow their book and which ones go against it?

Another question could always be - who is currently killing people?

kind of will put things in better perspecitve.

 

Quite a lot actually, KKK, neo-nazi's. theres a lot

 

every single one belives they are following their religion.
for example the one that killed Rabin thought he is following judiasim
and a lot of jews think he is right
check out the list in wiki i posted crazies are all over

 

crazies are everywhere...however, not all crazies act all the time...if you are trying to find out why mostly islamic terrorists are in the news...I have no idea, other than they like the publicity which the US media constantly over gives them.

 

They are forming aliances with Islam though.

Usually someone will mention abortion clinic bombings, but as I recall, those were isolated to the 90s, were half a dozen at best and I believe it was one guy responsible for most, if not all. It's a weak moral equivalence argument that really has no comparison at all, but it usually gets at least a mention.

The other one is the IRA, which is long defunct and out of commission. However, they were isolated to a very small part of the world.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_organisations
is a list of over 100 terrorist organizations from religious to political to whatever

 

The whole world is full of crazy terrorists from all religions, but a qucik look at history and you will see that the greatest murderers of all time were atheist, Hitler and Stalin.

 

A better question is:

What religion has mainstream leaders and members which regularly make excuses for it's terrorist members?

That's why nobody (except the ignorant trying to play the moral equivalence card) judges any other religion by their extremist members. It's very clear from the non-extremists that they have no support for the extremists.

Nobody associates the Nazis (or Hitler) with the Catholic church because the Catholic Church barred all Nazis from membership in the 1930s. Nobody associates the KKK with Christianity because prominant Christians (most noteably a Lutheran minister) played a large role in the Civil Rights movement. Christians do not make a habit of making excuses for racists or abortion clinic bombers.

Muslims constantly make excuses for Muslim terrorists. And that is why mainstream Muslims are seen as apathetic at best.

 

Agreed, also, to extend this, a Lutheran Minister (deitrich bonhoffer) actually tried to assisinate hitler. Bonhoffer really thought hitler was the anti-christ. While in prison, Bonhoffer wrote several great theology books that are still used by the church today.

 

The list quoted in wikipedia is about the organisations having majority people from a particular religion . What I want any terrorist organisation which is driven by religious ideolgy or fundamantel .The wikipedia for example say NSCN which is based in India and says it is a christian group , but the group might have christian people but their goal is not based on any religion. So is true of other organisations which it has quoted

 

there is a section dedicated to religious terrorist organizations
i am not familiar with nscn so i can not figure out which one is it in wiki

the goal of most terrorist organization is political. for example hamas wants return of palestine,
al qaida wants to drive americans out of arab land, some other ones want to seperate kasmir. none of these are religious goals so by your defenition they are not religious terrorists either.

 

and do you really believe that? I would laugh but it really isn't funny. Those terrorists would still be killing people long after those supposed goals where met. Get a wiff of reality, some are in it for the killing.

al qaida are there to kill, murder, and destroy. They kill those of their own religion more than they kill americans.

 

all terrorist organizations have a base of support within their comunity.
as a matter of fact kkk enjoyed support from a large segment of population in the south
"ignorance" is not seeing other people's pain

 

i was not justifying their action on the conterary i was trying to say that having a non religious goal does not exempt them from being a religious terrorist organization.
my comment was in response to Software_outsourcing comment regarding nscn

 

that not what he want to hear though

he wants to hear

the islam is unqiue true terrorist religion

proably to re-inforce some other negative belief he has in muslims, right?

 

there are good and bad in every religion nationality
i think anyone that tries to propagate hate against people of other religions falls in the bad category.

 

Some are rather old (below), and could be considered borderline. Although to note: Most terrorism is from extreme muslims.
