Religion can be used.

Obviously I'm focused on the Koranic justifications for terrorism.

Period.

The Qur'an can be misused to justify violence just as we have seen the Bible misused to justify violence. In fact just recently the Bible has been used to justify what some people believe will be the most violent period in the Earth's history, the Great Rupture of ill repute and End Times. We saw right here on EvC a person who claims to be a Christian call for "... cleaning out a nest of vipers".

Holy Books like the Qur'an can be misused and religion historically has been a favored tool for swaying the masses and getting them to do things they would never consider were it not for religious fervor.

Re: Religion can be used.

I don't care how the Koran is being used or misused. The point is that it IS used to justify terrorism, which means that there will never be an end to terrorism because it is ideology-driven, motivated by implacable hatred for Israel and all nonMuslims, which further means that they will never negotiate a real peace and must always be regarded as dangerous, to be dealt with by force when they get too much ability to do harm.

Why does the fact that a Holy Text is misused to further some aim mean that the act is ideology-driven?

Re: Again the much-vilified truth about Islamic terrorism

If the US bombed Quebec do you think it might be considered illegal?

Searching for some logic in there.

jar asked:

If the US bombed Quebec do you think it might be considered illegal?

to which Faith replied:

Not if Quebec was hosting terrorists who were bombing us.

So you believe that just because some terrorists hide in Quebec it would be okeydokey for the US to just bomb the soveriegn Nation of Canada?

I understand now. Thank you for explaining your position, I am sure Ottawa will be impressed by your logic.

Re: Searching for some logic in there.

What a bunch of lies to whitewash murder.

I assume you can point to those lies I used to whitewash murder or are you just making up your version of what folk actually say again?

Hezbollah is a real threat to Israel and determined to become a bigger threat.

They are a threat, not much of a threat to Israel but definitely a threat to some Israelis. No one has said they are not.

They aren't "hiding," they have put themselves in position to attack Israel and they committed the act of aggression of kidnapping Israeli soldiers.

And they claim that Israel is holding Lebanese in prison. They claim that Israel is the aggressor.

Israel is within its rights to demolish their ability to kill more Israelis.

Lebanon is a sovereign state. Israel has attacked Lebanon.

Has Lebanon attacked Israel?

When one sovereign state attacks another sovereign state is it or is it not considered agression and an act of war?

They don't shoot KNOWING the civilians are in the way. Good grief. You guys will come up with anything to avoid recognizing the truth.

A terrorist commits an act of terrorism. The terrorist then is seen running into a shopping mall.

Is is acceptable to then blow up the mall along with the people who might be in it to get the terrorist?

Are all Lebanese terrorists?

Are all Lebanese living in southern Lebanon terrorists?

If the answer to either of those is no, what is the justification for Israel blowing them up?
