What causes terrorism? - General

[QUOTE=Turrngait;17208679]Well I believe it's Islam that causes terrorism.[/QUOTE] That only goes as far as explaining the Muslim extremists. What about the RAF or IRA?

Any form of extremism. [img]http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/08/muslim220806_600x400.jpg[/img] 'Nuff said. [editline]10:29PM[/editline] Also, fantastic 4? What? [editline]10:32PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Taishu;17209277]That only goes as far as explaining the Muslim extremists. What about the RAF or IRA?[/QUOTE] I'd say all forms of extremism would be a more accurate explanation. That would cover religious extremism (Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, many others), as well as nationalist extremism (IRA) or simply groups with an extreme political stance (i.e. the far-left RAF) Islamic extremism is simply the most prevalent form of terrorism nowadays, which I guess is why people make that association.

But if it was only Religion and strong beleif, united states would be the centeral of terrorism. I think it's struggle against larger nations who the smaller nation is supressed from (or people in the country makes the population belive that is true). Muslims are not the only ones who do terrorism, that's just a few from the population in middle east (they are just somthing we notice all around the world and does not happen every day or so) Some of the thoughts about terrorisms would be like: If our nation is going down, we will bring the oppressors with our nation or beating an enemy in war, needs sacrefices. I belive most of us have seen peaceful muslims. There also excist christian terrorists, but their acts are not just as visible as the muslims, but it is only local terrorism and not to destroy somthing from another nation by taking the efford to go there and blow it up and blow youself up during the attack. Muslim terrorists just usually want attention to show the larger nation that they take it serious.

Terrorism doesn't have to necessarily be caused by religion, that's simply the popular thing to do nowadays.

People who commit "Terrorism" never actually think of themselfes as terrorists. They're usually just fighting for a cause, then the people who they are fighting against slap that label on them so they can control the global bias with fear and everyone ends up hating the "Terrorists". Also technically George Washington, the founder of the United States Of America, was a terrorist in the eyes of the British.

Impressionable, scared, ignorant, hateful, unjust people. everyone in this thread who says religion is an uneducated, ignorant tool tbh

Economic slavery causes malcontent which in turn causes extremists to seize control and perform terrorist acts. It's basically their way of protesting.

We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Media are pussies! terrorism is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes. Assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck a asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate. And it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves. Because pussies are a inch and half away from assholes. I don't know much about this crazy crazy world, but I do know this. If you don't let us fuck this asshole we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit.

Last time: terrorism is the act of using violence for a political goal. To answer the question of the op; what causes terrorism is different in each situation. In Iraq: Religious extremism by terrorist groups. These groups keep growing because of bad schooling, unreasoned invasion by the US, and the fact that since the invasion 180.000 civilians died. In western countries: Again depends. In Spain it's the ETA, who want to have a seperate Basque country in part of Spain and France. I don't know of any terrorism in France, except for the stuff that happens in the banlieues. 9/11's cause was religious extremism and general hatred towards the west with america as the most filthy icon of it. What actually triggered the attack is unsure to me. ps. for the unknowing: triggering and causing is not the same. Cause is the reason why it happened, trigger is the reason why it happened at that moment, and not a week earlier or later.

to summerize hopefully this whole thread: The main cause if I am not mistaked, 98% of all "terrorism" is religion.

[QUOTE=BlueSaint;17218302]to summerize hopefully this whole thread: The main cause if I am not mistaked, 98% of all "terrorism" is religion.[/QUOTE] You're mistaken, Terrorism is caused by political agendas by groups too small to truly influence the government in a peaceful manner.

So how bout the US government During the Nicaraguan Civil War the Contras were funded by the US Gov. to kill doctors and teachers. emphasis on the KILL DOCTORS AND TEACHERS and CONTRAS And it was very real, my dad went their during that war, he even met a few Sandinista soldiers (and a general); one of those soldiers was going to be a medical doctor, yet with the Contras, she was forced to fight... Contras- the Nicaraguan government, they were supported by the USA Sandinistas- The FSLN; the group that rebelled against the government in hopes of making their country a better place. looks like The Monroe Doctrine is the cause of terrorism! (fuck yea, something that is NOT religion, take that ignorant peoples!)

[QUOTE=Doriol;17203661][b]Terrorism[/b] [i]ter⋅ror⋅ism[/i] –noun 1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes. 2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization. 3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government. You don't need to wear a turban to be a terrorist. Politicians, armies (especially the US Army in Iraq), and cops are an example of this.[/QUOTE] Reposting because people don't understand such a simple concept.
