Radicalism and religion.

I just wanted to hear your opinions on this i know there are many who have studied these religions. If they are just as great as any other religion including christianity, why do they lead to radicalism? terrorism? the killing of innocent people with insane violence?. Being a christian my belief is that satan is behind false doctrines as the Bible teaches which would account for the evil side. But for the non-christian i would like to hear different opinions about why these beliefs which have given religion a bad name for many victims lead to radical terrorism. Does these religions which can lead to evil mark down the validity of these religions?. Im sure there are many who believe religion should be strictly about loving God and loving your neighbour without evil in the heart.

But Christianity leads to radicalism, too. Who do you think keeps bombing those abortion clinics?

Prior to September 11, the big incidents of domestic terrorism were mostly from Christian white folks, not arabs. What, you thought Tim McVeigh was a Muslim or something?

I understand christians have done atrocities in the past but were they living consistent with Christs teachings?. Where has Christ taught anything but love?, It seems as though these "christians" were being inconsistent with the christian standard of morality. Radical Muslims however seem to be following Islam to a tee.MATT DABBS -

You also have to remember that other religions only seem "radical" or "terrorist" to you because you were instilled with a moral and ethical system based on the Christian religion. If you were raised a fundamentalist and devout Muslim in the Middle East, it would be the Christian religion that was "radical" and "terrorist". It's all relative.

So are you admitting there is no standard of morality? Because we are just another biological animal?. Then you must live consistent with your belief that there is no right or wrong. The only "right" our society has is christian morality. Western nations like Australia and U.S.A were blessed and prospered as they based there understanding on Gods word. It seems logical that a religion that teaches love has more validity then one that cause one to fight.

No i have not studied it. Please enlighten me and point me to what radicals are reading or interpreting thats making them become terrorists.

remark but if you actually read what i wrote, i said "seem". Look at terrorism today. One of the biggest issues in the world currently. And how much of it is coming out of the middle east from Islam devotees. This is why i said it seemed. And please, relax a little.

What i mean is that all i see on T.V are muslims killing themselves & others in the name of Allah.
