Pretty weak, Rags. Not you, necessarily, but the article and it's attempt to equate Christian-motivated targeted assassination to that of radical Islamic jihad terrorism, particularly when the article begins by minimalizing the Tsarnaev brothers' influence of radical Islam as being merely "both [are] considered white and appear to have been motivated in part by radical Islam" when the fact is they were motivated virtually 100% by radical Islam. The article then goes on to list mostly targeted assassinations calling them terrorism, as if they are no different than the Islamic terrorism attacks of the recent present.
While Christians are certainly capable of unconscionable evil, as history has recorded, very few if any of the modern examples of "Christian terrorism" can really be characterized the same way as the terrorism of Islamic fundamentalist jihad terrorism. The author of the article is so desperate to make a case of "Well, Christians are terrorists, tooooo!" that he needs to include racists attacks against Sikhs that weren't Christian motivated but were ignorant responses to post-9/11 revenge, and attacks by white supremacists and far-right militia groups as being "Christian terrorism."
Because it's so difficult to find modern equivalents of (domestic) Christian terrorism to Islamic terrorism, the author has to greatly expand the criteria, and then use even the thinnest of tenuous connections to make his case. It's weak and it's lame.
Guess I was guilty of being tired of the content barage of islamophobia.
You're going to be tired for a very, very long time. Islamic terrorism isn't going away.
The graphic that began this Channel 19 thread is certainly that, what with it comparing and contrasting and equating an entire religion to the actions of a very small percentaged subset of the religion. But as Aristotle notes, that kind of stupidity and ignorance is going to be with us just as long as Islamic terrorism is with us.
That could be, but the constent... Be afraid, be very afraid.... from just regular people not any authority type is getting old.
The Western world has the means to protect itself against most plots inspired by Radical Islam. Hence, no successful large scale attack on the US since 9/11. The enemy is cunning... and, yes, Radical Islam is our mortal enemy. We have been vigilant and we have been lucky. It will be nigh impossible to restrain American demands for their utter destruction should another mass casualty event succeed on US soil.
Just stay on watch as best you can, some Burka Babe may be following you.lol

I absolutely refuse to be afraid of my friends and neighbors along with their friends, family and neighbors.
Shame on those that advocate such behavior.

Perhaps part of the problem is the not inconsequential number of radicalized, being radicalized, considering radicalization and not immune to being radicalized are not offset by the few who oppose them, disagree with them, and wouldn't support them. Possibly an even smaller number of Muslims. The vast majority have no problem with them if their actions (as in total lack thereof) and words (again total lack thereof) are an indicator. If/when push comes to shove which way will that approving but silent majority turn?
You say "the vast majority" yet you offer nothing on which to base such a statement. The reason such a statement requires some sort of basis for making it is because it's not true. It may very well be your perception, either because when Muslims make statements condemning terrorists and terrorist actions, those statements are rarely reported at the right wing wacko anti-Muslim Web sites you frequent, or when you find those condemnations in the mainstream media you either don't acknowledge them or glaze over and can't see them. But the statements of condemnation are made nevertheless.
As far as these mysterious actions that mainstream Muslims are failing to take, what actions should they be taking? Are those actions radically different from the actions that you have taken?
Secondly, Barney and Goober from the Andy Griffith show should be respected. I remember this time when they captured an escaped criminal...
