Are you afraid of extreme Islamic terrorists?

I am afraid, very afraid of the 58 hate groups in Florida. They are white, black, Muslim, and "Christian" in a warped way. Hate knows no ethnic or religious boundaries. Radicalism isn't confined to any one group.

Are you more afraid of them than extreme Islamic terrorist groups like Al Qaeda?

Acctualy your post should have read

I will probably get beat up for this and the post will surely be taken down,but why does the majority of the terrorists and the attacks on the world stem from people of religion. It Doesn't matter what faith you are since man has been on this earth I would guess 95% of all wars, terrorist attacks are over one form of religion or another

Or perhaps, are you afraid of people who will blow themselves up to kill large groups of people? IN TODAY'S WORLD. RIGHT NOW. Forget about history.

What if earth was created by a loving God who wanted to enjoy relationship with man? What if a fallen angel tempted man to have a relationship with him, rather than with God? What if that is the whole story of the earth: good and evil, love and hate, peace and war?

What if there is a final battle coming between God and the fallen angel over the earth acted out through human agents? And what if that battle centers on The holy land, and pits the offspring of Abraham, one conceived in rebellion, who is Ishmael, father of the Arabic nations, against the other son, conceived according to God's promise, who is Isaac, father of the Jewish nation, and by grafting into that root, believers in their Messiah?

Yes, since the TSA can't stop them at the border. They are here already. In fact, I believe our law enforcement is more concerned with a homegrown terrorist than they are about some tribal person running around in Afghanistan. They are more easily concealed and have greater opportunity.

I can't say I'm afraid of fanatics but I truly loathe them. Fanaticism is a true evil. Extremists have no boundaries, whether Islamics, Christians or of some other bent.

I can't say I blame many that hate America. While the American people are some of the most generous people that exist, the same cannot be said of our government. We've supported some truly evil regimes to protect American businesses and interests. Frequently at the expense of the people who lived there. Think of Vietnam, Nicaragua, Argentina, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, The Philippines and on and on. We haven't always been the good guys.

But, back to subject. Yes, there are Islamic extremists who want to destroy America. There are Nazis and skinheads in this country who see nothing wrong with maiming, torturing and killing those who are different or hold opposing views. There are religious fanatics in America who are more than willing to start modern-day Crusades. There are anti-abortion foes who think killing doctors and blowing up clinics with people inside is perfectly acceptable. So, I'm not afraid of Islamic extremists. I'm afraid of any group or person that is willing to harm others for their point of view. Evil is not limited to one group or one religion or one skin color.

Let's simplify things. Nobody defends any kind of terrorists, whatever their affiliation is. So no need to keep beating that dead horse.

Still waiting for your answer as to how you recognize radical Muslims, which you clearly stated you are capable of in post #16. Give us all insight as to what to look for so we may all gain from your knowledge.

This is a "private" investigative team of dubious credibility. I wonder if our Public Homeland Security is aware of the results of this investigative reporting.

What terrorist group poses the greatest risk to Americans? Your question is a red herring.

To be politically correct, we divert our selves from identifying the people who want to hurt us.

I ask you, if you entered a plane if anyone would cause you by their appearance some apprehension? NO, then..if your daughter were flying, or your grandson? Perhaps you would be wrong...but...I ask you honestly. We are people, and we try to be fair, BUT....sometimes we just are afraid.

The title of this thread is "O.K. Let's be honest."

As expected, another non answer to a simple question. Oh well.
