At the same time - separate extremism from religion (religion is a vehicle that can be used by extremists -
over the course of history, just about every religion has at one point been hijacked by extremists - including Hindu --- go figure!)

I agree 100%. I will focus on Hindu and Christian extremists when they start blowing stuff up around the world on a regular basis (In my lifetime, not ancient history).

As soon as someone starts referencing ancient history... comparing something that happened 1000 years ago... to something that's NOT HAPPENING TODAY (er... like a modern Christian Crusade)... you know they are delving into moral equivalency and not wanting to really address the issue.

Pretty much (sorry, I have to go feed my slaves now).

The bombing of abortion clinics by christian/religious extremists are certainly more recent than 1000 years.

Problem with those few examples is that they are not part of some active and growing world wide movement unless you have some sort of information to the contrary. There are not Christian governments (none I can think of anyway) who support Christian-abortion clinic-bombers. The KKK burned churches and killed blacks too but we don't hear much from those degenerate assholes anymore either.

And what does it matter and how does that information effect the current worldwide radical Islamic movement?

Just how many abortion clinic bombings have occurred at the hands of Christians?

More than I care to count

NC Man Arrested in Abortion Clinic Bomb Plot: ‘The Christian Counterpart of Osama Bin Laden’

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article ... _Bin_Laden (originally from WCNC.com)

Eric Rudolph, responsible for bombing several abortion clinics; and Scott Roeder, guilty of the assassination of American hero and martyr Dr. George Tiller; are but two of the most notorious and infamous of Christian terrorists associated with the so called "pro-life" movement. Yet there are many more.

A simple google search brings us many, many more

According to the most recent statistics from the National Abortion Federation, there were 114 violent attacks against abortion providers in 2011, including three physical assaults, one bombing, one incident of arson, 27 counts of vandalism and eight burglaries.

and that is just one year.

Terrorism is a fact of life now, abhorrent as that is, we seem to accept it when it is against those we don't like and blame muslims when it is against those we do like. I find it all appalling, disgusting, and to be condemned no matter who is at fault, no matter who is victimized. But I have no solutions......hate runs rampant and always has. Terrorists are getting better at it, and the media plays right into their hands, as do we all really.

Who would you blame for Boston? Two Muslims or two Christians.

I'm not going to speak for anyone else on this thread, but I know I've never ever implied that all Muslims are terrorists or that all terrorists are Muslims. But you try to change the narrative by stating "those we don't like and blame Muslims." I find it all appalling, disgusting, and to be condemned when you make statements like the one above. Terrorists are getting better at it, and you play right into their hands when you can't realize the difference.

Jihad is a Muslim term, radical Islamic's are Muslim and it's beyond a shadow of a doubt that the two in Boston were Muslim. Agreed?

The older one was for sure. I am not sure the younger one knew what he was or why. He was obviously influenced quite a bit by his older brother in the past few years. Was he devout? Did he really believe in what he was doing as part of his faith of Islam?

You have a point there...

The mother of Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev knew as early as 2011 that her son had been radicalized and sent text messages to family in Russia suggesting he was willing to die for Islam, the FBI told lawmakers this week according to two officials with knowledge of the Capitol Hill briefing.
