Okay, I am officially sick to my stomach when people mention the religion of the terrorists like religion has something to do with anything. Whether you're a Democrat thinking therapy can save anyone or a Republican wanting to "nuke them all", I particularly don't care. This needs to be said and to anyone who can't handle hearing or reading another person's opinion, you may want to get the hell off of my blog jump off a bridge. Please and thanks.
Terrorism: the systematic use of terror, often violent, especially as a means of coercion. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror). Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war.
Basically, if I break down this definition I understand that terrorism isn't religious, it's not nationalistic, it's not region-based or prejudice. Terrorism scares people into things (coercion). Violent acts which are intended to create fear (I believe major crimes would fall into this category; just ask a rape victim about going out at night or ask a mother whose child may have been taken what kind of security system she has in the house now).
Unlawful violence- I believe I just explained that. Acts of war? Well if we go back to the definition of instilling fear into people, I do believe that every government is then guilty of terrorism.
I really wish people would stop throwing that word around or connecting it somehow to the Muslim religion. I am not Muslim, so this is not some puny attempt to defend my own religion. This is just a general acknowledgment of how much humans are pieces of shit. We're constantly judging the things we don't know, as well as blaming everyone else for our mistakes and looking to bypass any kind of consequences or responsibilities.
- Stop assuming every Muslim is a terrorist. Islam is a peaceful religion. Either read the Quran, research the religion or shut the hell up.
- Stop throwing the word terrorism around unless you know what that word truly means and you're also prepared to call our government officials and soldiers terrorists (I am an avid anti-war patriot, but I am pro-soldier before you guys start to scrunch your faces and think of your next bullshit judgment).
- Whatever you don't understand, research. Whatever you hear, research. Whenever you want to "opinionate", do yourself and me a huge favor and research.

So i wrote something earlier to this and i see it didn't post yet again, 3rd times a charm?
ReplyDeleteI don't see it as a religion specification, more as a Race / Color specification. Instead of the media saying a "middle eastern, Committed an act of terror" they say a muslim did. So i think they associate it to more of what they look like then to the specific religion. I mean really someone from the middle east could be wearing a turban and be a christian, baptist, boddist, or some crazy satainic worshiper, and some idiot will think hes a suicide bomber or terrorist just because of the way they look
Every religion has there martyr, crusader, prophet or my favorite, Crazy pyscho that diverts his own messed up mind or belief to a religion to make his/him self believe they are right. Look back thru history, the crusades is a huge example of that.
So to say a religion is to blame for terrorism or committing an act of terror ( i hate that saying btw) is ludacris to say the least.
It finally posted. I see it as a religion specification mostly because the stereotypes of a Muslim are exactly what you posted on here but those stereotypes wouldn't be brought up if the Muslims dressed, walked and talked exactly like Christians. When in all actuality, every religion even within itself is different. How many Southern Baptists do you see wearing skirts and then others you don't? Same thing for the Islam religion. Some wear turbans, some don't. It's not a religious thing; it's a regional thing.
