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.
And they are not happening now!
Please name one Christian terrorist group that murders other Christians. Or better yet, name a Christian terrorist group that is actively killing anyone today????
Also, the threat remains and based on these postings, seems no one has any practical ideas, too busy warning us about Christian terrorists.
The Klan is gone. You don't hear about them on CNN because they don't behead children, or rape women, or sell women to other men in the Klan, or put heads on a stick, or enlist other children from round the world for suicide bombings.

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

My grandfather would you tell you that he first witness terrorism when his family was attacked by the KKK in 40's. They, that is the KKK, claimed to be God fearing Christians. So I guess everybody has their own mental time frame.

I remembers the IRA, 1969-2005
I was under the impression that the IRA were Catholics, not Muslims. So I'm sorry but. . .what is your point?
