Christian terrorism - Definition


Acts of Christian terrorism are terrorist acts carried out by self-professed Christian groups and individuals. Examples include the abortion clinic bombing by Eric Robert Rudolph, said to be a member of the extremist Christian Identity movement and murder of physicians who provide abortions, such as James Charles Kopp's shooting of Dr. Barnett Slepian.

Christian terrorism differs significantly from Islamic terrorism and other forms of religious terrorism both in organization and popular appeal within the respective religious communities. Political and economic differences between countries with large Christian populations and those with large Islamic populations may explain the different faces of religious terrorism worldwide.

As with most types of religious terrorism, mainstream believers typically consider acts by "Christian terrorists" to be egregious violations of Christian ethics. The violent Christian Identity movement, for instance, is regarded as a highly un-Christian organization by non-members. Modern Christian leaders regularly condemn all acts of terrorism, including those perpetuated by self-professed Christian terrorists. Critics observe that this is a marked change from the often-bloody history of Christianity, which is laden with violent Crusades, inquisitions, and witchhunts.
Past and present terrorism

Because the definition of terrorism is controversial, any list of acts of Christian terrorism will necessarily be controversial. Some point to the Crusades as the first example of large-scale Christian terrorist acts, while others argue that they were military campaigns. Although their official primary function was to (re)capture the "Holy Land" from various Muslim princes, it is generally recognized that they had several secondary functions including spreading Christianity, in a form of violent missionary policy. Some argue that because the conversion of "unbelievers" was an important motivator behind the Crusades, the Crusades were religiously motivated terrorism.

Today, groups that commit acts that can be called Christian terrorism are often not exclusively motivated by their beliefs about Christianity. Often, their activites are rooted in pre-existing mutual hatred, such as the case is with the conflict in Northern Ireland, which has roots traceable as far back as medieval England. While some of the Christian terrorist groups active today may be motivated by the prospect of converting subjects to join their faith, others have territorial/political motives for fighting. Still others have more in common with Nazi ideology than with religious ideology, and work primarily with racist ideals, such as white supremacy. The Christian Identity movement is an example.

Some critics of the 2003 Invasion in Iraq claim that the United States, as a demographically Christian nation, is engaged in acts of state terrorism with a Christian bent. Reports of violence against non-combattants (which are often hotly disputed) are sometimes cited as evidence of this claim.

In the United States, the most frequent examples of Christian terrorism include the bombing of abortion clinics and the murder of abortion providers by (ocasionally self-professed Christian) anti-abortion extremists.

TERRORISM



Terrorism is a form of violence that cannot be equated with any other crimes known to humanity. Terrorism is a method by which certain individuals and groups, including States, engage in an act of violence for the sole purpose of creating an atmosphere of terror. The terrorists believe that striking terror in the hearts and minds of their opponents is in itself a success for their “causes”. Neither do they adhere to any conventions of war nor do they show any respect for human lives. Hence, no civilized society or nation can afford to ignore the global threat posed by the terrorists, especially Jihadi Terrorists. Although nations have made major achievements in confronting this menace, humanity has a long way to go in eradicating terrorism. India is the biggest victim of terrorism and Hindus are the main targets.



It is the only country in the world which is a victim of Jihadi, Christian and Communist (Maoist) terrorism all at once. India has lost more innocent men, women and children to terrorism than any other nation on the planet. The statistics alone is shocking. As the public resentment grows stronger in India, greater efforts in curbing terror will become a priority for the government.



The delay in the execution of terrorists who have been found guilty by the courts, lack of cooperation to law enforcement agencies in identifying and monitoring potential terror suspects, public utterances by religious and political leaders glorifying terror and instigating Muslims and Christians for political considerations are all contributing to an atmosphere of mistrust and animosity between Hindus and other faiths.





Understanding Jihad and Islamic Terrorism



Jihad is as old as Islam itself. Although moderate elements within Islam have interpreted Jihad as a call for personal purification or internal struggle, Jihad has been traditionally identified with Islamic Conquest of non-believers or “Infidels”. Jihad gained currency in the 20th century after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Today, almost all radical movements within Islam embrace Jihad as a holy war against all infidels (Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists). The Jihadists have formed a global network so that their cooperation will yield greater success in realizing a world with out “Infidels”.



In this age of terrorism, where Hindus are the greatest victims of this menace, mainstream Muslim religious leaders have a historic duty to isolate themselves from those who embrace terrorism. While recent gestures by Muslim religious leaders are a step in the right direction, more efforts must be undertaken by them to isolate and punish those who are responsible for these crimes against humanity. The reluctance of many religious leaders to isolate members of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) casts a big shadow on the genuineness of the Fatwa issued against terrorism by the Deobandi School. It is the Muslim community that must come forward and demand punishment for the guilty and fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies as they do in western countries.



Christian Terrorism



Christian Terrorism was associated with the Irish Republican Army (a Catholic body) which waged a war against Protestant Britain. The IRA finally negotiated a peace agreement with the British Government. There are other Christian Groups worldwide that are recognized by the US State Department as terrorist organizations. However, they do not pose a significant threat to major populations. The only other known form of Christian Terrorism in the world today is in the form of militant Christian Organizations that had sprung up in the Northeast of India.



These groups have killed thousands of Hindus as part of their strategy to carve out separate Christian Nation States in this remote region of India. Their main supporters are the Southern Baptists based in the United States and New Zealand. The United Liberation Front of Assam, National Socialist Council of Nagaland-(Isak-Muivah), National Liberation Front of Tripura, National Democratic Front of Bodoland and the Hmar People’s Convention- Democracy are the major Christian Terrorist Organizations operating in the Northeast of India. The members of these organizations are Christians and they are all engaged in an armed rebellion against Hindus and India to carve out separate countries where Christianity will be the official religion.



Although mainstream Christians are known to be peace loving and law abiding, the leadership of various Christian Denominations are not forthcoming in their condemnation of these Christian Terrorists and their demands for secession from the Indian Union.

This is nothing but a bunch of nothing about nothing.

You know why there is and never will be Christian terrorist groups in this world?Because anything these people do taking innocent lives is not backed up in the bible,supported by the bible,endorced by the bible,or justified in the bible.The bible specifically commands us "not to kill".

Even if this fluff you posted had some value to it I could count on one had your supposed Christian terrorist.

These people are no more of a danger then anyone else with mental problems.


If you are going to die by someone in this world due to terrorism it will either be by a Muslim or a Atheist.

I have already debunked what you have posted not once but several times in the General religion chat.

All those so called Christian terrorist are not doing anything in Gods,or Jesus's name,or the bible.Everything they are doing they are doing for political reasons mainly to destroy their own Government.The only reason they made the list is because you have places like Ireland where nearly everyone is Catholic and since everyone is Catholic anyone who does anything bad has to be representing the Catholic church which is nonsense.

Acts of Christian terrorism are terrorist acts carried out by self-professed Christian groups and individuals. Examples include the abortion clinic bombing by Eric Robert Rudolph, said to be a member of the extremist Christian Identity movement and murder of physicians who provide abortions, such as James Charles Kopp's shooting of Dr. Barnett Slepian.

Christian terrorism differs significantly from Islamic terrorism and other forms of religious terrorism both in organization and popular appeal within the respective religious communities. Political and economic differences between countries with large Christian populations and those with large Islamic populations may explain the different faces of religious terrorism worldwide.

As with most types of religious terrorism, mainstream believers typically consider acts by "Christian terrorists" to be egregious violations of Christian ethics. The violent Christian Identity movement, for instance, is regarded as a highly un-Christian organization by non-members. Modern Christian leaders regularly condemn all acts of terrorism, including those perpetuated by self-professed Christian terrorists. Critics observe that this is a marked change from the often-bloody history of Christianity, which is laden with violent Crusades, inquisitions, and witchhunts.
Past and present terrorism

Because the definition of terrorism is controversial, any list of acts of Christian terrorism will necessarily be controversial. Some point to the Crusades as the first example of large-scale Christian terrorist acts, while others argue that they were military campaigns. Although their official primary function was to (re)capture the "Holy Land" from various Muslim princes, it is generally recognized that they had several secondary functions including spreading Christianity, in a form of violent missionary policy. Some argue that because the conversion of "unbelievers" was an important motivator behind the Crusades, the Crusades were religiously motivated terrorism.

Today, groups that commit acts that can be called Christian terrorism are often not exclusively motivated by their beliefs about Christianity. Often, their activites are rooted in pre-existing mutual hatred, such as the case is with the conflict in Northern Ireland, which has roots traceable as far back as medieval England. While some of the Christian terrorist groups active today may be motivated by the prospect of converting subjects to join their faith, others have territorial/political motives for fighting. Still others have more in common with Nazi ideology than with religious ideology, and work primarily with racist ideals, such as white supremacy. The Christian Identity movement is an example.

Some critics of the 2003 Invasion in Iraq claim that the United States, as a demographically Christian nation, is engaged in acts of state terrorism with a Christian bent. Reports of violence against non-combattants (which are often hotly disputed) are sometimes cited as evidence of this claim.

In the United States, the most frequent examples of Christian terrorism include the bombing of abortion clinics and the murder of abortion providers by (ocasionally self-professed Christian) anti-abortion extremists.




This is nothing but a bunch of nothing about nothing.

You know why there is and never will be Christian terrorist groups in this world?Because anything these people do taking innocent lives is not backed up in the bible,supported by the bible,endorced by the bible,or justified in the bible.The bible specifically commands us "not to kill".

Even if this fluff you posted had some value to it I could count on one had your supposed Christian terrorist.

These people are no more of a danger then anyone else with mental problems.


If you are going to die by someone in this world due to terrorism it will either be by a Muslim or a Atheist.



where you getting atheist at? all terrorist are religious based...



Wars start with acts of terrorism.I will gladly supply you with a body count of Wars started by atheist if you like.

I also find it hard to believe you will find terrorism in Christianity,Hinduism,and Buddhism,which make up some of the biggest religions in the world.
