Yes. Catholics have been involved in terrorism in the past.

The Pope, should have condemed and excommunicated anyone involved in and supportive of the IRA terrorist actions. (Maybe he did this? If he didn't, then shame on him and his office.) The IRA mascaraded as a "Catholic" organization but they were certainly nothing like the Knights of Columbus...

There is no comparison between Christianity and Islam when it comes to supporting the murder of innocent civilians. Christians just aren't out there killing civilians on a daily basis in the name of "Christ". There haven't been millions of Christians involved in and/or supportive of terrorists and I can't think of a single episode of a suicide bomber that was of any Christian faith... Can you?

There are millions of Muslims who actively support the terrorists (both directly and indirectly with financial and other means). Thousands of Muslims have willingly offered themselves up to "the cause" as suicide bombers...Preaching Jihad against Western Values and the West in general is the unfortunate norm in many mosques...This is going on NOW...Not 1000 years ago during the dark ages...

Its not pollitically correct to say it. To some it sounds anti-Islamic, but it can't be denied...These are the facts no matter how you try to spin them.

Should Islam be outlawed and Muslims attacked at will? Of course not. The vast majority of Muslims want nothing to do with terrorists.

Should Islam clean its own house and rid itself of the "preachers" of terrorism? It must and it is about time that the leaders of the world quit poo-pooing the issue and spell it out like it is... It is up to those Muslims who are against the terrorists to stand up and stop them, or millions of Muslims and Christians (most innocent of any crime) will eventually die.

All it takes is one rouge Muslim nation or terror group with one nuclear bomb and a Cult leader who believes that he is Allah's atomic messenger: Millions of Muslims believe that they WILL find the praises of Allah in glorious armagedon against the evil Western satanic powers...Its not some abstract "faith" issue...It is their goal to make it happen.

Thats the facts. Nothing anti-Islamic about it, but its time to dump the political correctness and face the Truth. They are waging a crusade against the West and Western Values.
