Are all terrorists really Muslims?By Aakar Patel

[Joe Shearer]

All religious terrorists are muslims

Not all Muslims are terrorists... but a large number of terrorist acts in the world are being done by people who belong to Islam ..Can writer ignore this fact.

Terrorism is the direct reaction of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. After this so called "war on terrorism" , terrorism has sky rocketed.

Have you read Akbar S Ahmed's 'The thistle and the drone' - I'd really recommend it. Its a wonderful anthropological genesis of Muslim fanaticism by someone who's served in South Waziristan during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and is an anthropologist and historian by profession. He talks about how this seeping fanaticism is in fact a mutation of tribal Islam in places like Waziristan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia etc. when they came into extreme friction with modern society and how a perversion of tribal codes (some of which are completely un-Islamic) have trumped religious sensibilities because its essentially a reactionary response from the tribes that existed on the peripheries who now feel that they're under siege ideologically, politically, socially and of course militarily.

Interesting. Will try to get my hands on it.

Most people seem to have read the post, decided in the twinkling of an eye that it is about whether or not there is Muslim terrorism and spurred their horses into a wild ride.

Rather like an unfortunate who deserves to be read about more widely.

The reason why people in India associate muslims with terror is.. well one they are muslims( ) and second they bring religion to terror..
others dont fight for religion..
that said.. right wing hindutva terror has been marked as hindu terror(rightly so)... and not maoists/LTTE terror.
A lot of terrorists in kashmir are not driven by religion so I will remove them from islamic terror list. Original kashmiri terrorists were secular.

Excessive zeal in finding loopholes and excuses for Jihadis and lack of zeal to re-construct Hindu history which was zealously deconstructed by seculars would qualify them as Jihad lovers.

Reconstruct Hindu history by posting fake pictures (happened in Jaipur and posted for Belur Math) and posting Ajit Vadakayil blogs!! Spare me.

@indianBong @Abhijeet Sarkar

It is very clear now.

When a Hindu is a Maoist, he is no longer a Hindu; his acts of terrorism are Maoist acts of terrorism.

When a Muslim is an Al Qaeda supporter, or ISIS, or SIMI, he remains a Muslim; his acts of terrorism are Muslim acts of terrorism.

Very clear.

do moist ask people to recite gita before killing or should sri ram before killing?

The hindus who beat up the cow trafficers are terrorists too

Al-Qaeda/ISIS/TTP all are politically motivated who use the name of a religion to lure people into their ranks and to give or earn legitimacy to their actions. The reason that an overwhelming majority of Muslims living in some 52 countries does not support them albeit of their apparent religious guise is a testament to this fact.

most muslim countries are islamic republic...no place for others

OP you are single handedly diminishing your support base with this type of propaganda.

What war justifies killing 100 plus school children?
