Another terrorist attack

I'm getting sick to death with these now. How long can we pretend that Islam has nothing to do with it?

The Koran states that they can't live alongside the rest of us, so we can only expect this futile battle of religious ideology to continue.
Surely we're beyond the point of believing in such tripe.

Not to drag this down further, but Islam came into existence long after Judaism and Christianity using translated texts from both but has decided that all other religions (including the other Judo-Christians) must be destroyed along with their followers and all non-believers are 'infidel' DESPITE BELIEVING IN THE SAME GOD!

Only a small percentage of terrorist attacks are actually proven to have anything to do with religion. I am not a religious person so I am not defending anyone, I think it is all a load of twoddle but that is my personal opinion and I have a right to feel this way.

Don't believe everything you hear or read in the news.

Very true.
Religion is often the pretext but not the real reason for all manner of politics,terrorist or not.
More often it is about control of land and resources.In fact its always about that.

Aye, I was operating in * during a so called religious war and I can tell you for a fact there was something else more precious to be had.

If the conflict is about resources, why are the targets people?

A war fighting for territory is performed with a completely different strategy.

This is just their jihad.

You get extremist points of veiw in lots of places. You want another crusade? Take everyones mind off the economy

What really annoys me is the current government, these towelhead muppets are apparently trying to change our way of life ... so rather than just ignoring them, they use it as an excuse for more liberty-robbing laws and ideas. Gah.

Anyway. Religion, money, politics are all just routes to power for the ambitious.

Any bombing of a building, car, street or any hostage situation. They're not acts of violence looking at gaining land. They're simply unforgiving terrorist acts in the name of their space-god.

Actually most of it stems back to Isreal-Palestine conflict, which is actually a conflict over land... notably the land stolen by Isreal. The whole "kill the west" thing comes from USA supporting Isreal. So yes it is mostly over land.
