Why does Islam seem to be the only world religion that routinely is cited by terrorists as justification for their acts?

  1. Do you really believe that? It is very strange because: All terrorists have justification for their acts in all of history. Only read history and you will notice that. When Europeans killed native Americans they had justification. When the Americans fight the slaves, they had justification. When Spain waged the Crusades to kill Muslims they had justification. Even Hitler when he put the Jews in fires (if this story is true) had a justification. And now when George W. Bush decided to attack Afghanistan and Iraq he has justification. When Israel puts people in Gaza in a big jail and attack them and all the world watches Israeli terrorists with children and women and old men in Gaza and no one stopped them. Everyone in the world has justification. Wen China killed thousands of Muslims in east Turkmenistan and no one stopped them there was justification.
    And this means that terrorism is not a religion or a country it is bad people's thinking in a bad way. Of course, they must have justification to be honest in front of themselves.

  2. from Islam in the World by Malise Ruthven
    "Attaching the label 'Muslim' or 'Islamic' to acts of terrorism is grossly unfair: When a right-wing Christian fanatic like Timothy Mcvey blew up a US federal building in Oklahoma City killing 168 people, the worst atrocity committed on American soil before 9/11, no one described him as a 'Christian' terrorist despite his well-known connection with a fundamentalist church in Idaho, In the view of many of Islam's adherents, 'Westerners' who have abandoned their own faith, or are blinkered by religious prejudice, do not 'understand' Islam; they have their views distorted by a hostile media, their sentiments and attitudes prejudiced by Islamophobia."
