[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]What is also relevant is why we seem to see much more in the way of extremism among Muslims over the past several decades.

For example, the first major act of terrorism that I recall which caught the attention of the world was during the Munich Olympics in 1972.

So terrorism/extremism among Muslims is not something that has always been around. [/quote]

That may be the first major act of terrorism that you recall, but terrorism is almost as old as human history. In that region alone, many of Israel's eventual leaders were terrorists. Also, Munich was undertaken by Palestinians. There were Christians among them. Their commander had a Christian father and a Jewish mother.

A practicing Christian or born?[/quote]

Does anyone ask this of Islamic terrorist?  [b]The 9/11 attackers were drinking and going to strip clubs -- not exactly devout, yet we call them islamic terrorists.[/b]

When it's a Christian, we always look for an excuse to distance ourselves from them.  Oh, he's an extremist, radical fringe, he has perverted Christianity.  But when it's a Muslim, we call him devout.[/quote]

An observation - we call them Islamic terrorists because THEY call themselves Islamic.  They commit their atrocities in the name of Islam.  Some of the other groups referenced - KKK, IRA - didn’t commit their sins in the name of Christianity.  They did not shout “God is great” or “Jesus is King” before killing.  [/quote]
