Religion is a tool, like anything, which can be used for either good or for bad. No religion in itself is worse than any other from what I've seen. I would say that religion tends to discourage thought or reflection, which makes it easier to use people and make them do ridiculous things.

And I would say that perhaps at this moment most terrorists are Muslim. Historically this has not been the case.

has it really terrorized us or is it our psychological thinking that it has terrorized us???

You sound like you're almost on to something.

Terrorism is psychological, and only works when one allows oneself to be terrorized. 9/11 was an attack certainly, and Afghanistan should have remained a priority,

but the reaction to 9/11 caused more harm than the attack itself. Literally hundreds of thousands of people die every year of things like cancer, car wrecks, etc.

We don't freak out, start attacking random countries, sacrifice our own freedoms, etc etc because X number of people died.

We reacted horribly to the situation in retrospect, and that was more of a victory I believe for these handful of terrorists, than any plane crashing into any building.

The issues arising out of war has less to do with religion and more to do with politics and international social affairs. We may claim that religion has a part to do with it but i would disagree. Furthermore, because there are a few terrorists belonging to Islam does not mean that everybody belonging to that religion are terrorists. We have had countries with higher rate of violence or religions with high rate of violence but that does not mean that it is a bad country or religion because the few who do it are bad.

If you check on the root of terrorism, it is the result of disputes and disputes between countries and not religions. Even though those people who call themselves terrorists say they are fighting for the cause of Islam, they are really not, because it has to do with political and social acts of violence which terrorism is rightfully and legally defined as. Nowhere in the definition under Title 22 Section 265f (d) of the U.S Code was the term terrorism defined as a religious act.

the issue lies in religion and only in religion. In Islam it gives us signs of our modern political structure and how it has been only led by a deception that the devil has created amongst the people to make this reality seem as if its our ( final home) final destination and have our imagination come up with our own reasons (theories) for life so its harder to grasp a reality outside of this world which is only done by Following Islam. Why do terrorists sacrifice so much of their time and sweat.. to achieve what? To achieve an established government which would be the sharia of Islam to govern the world and guide it to the right path instead of the Evil path.

Side: No

Islam itself as a whole is not a bad religion. The radical Muslim terrorists have given Islam a bad name and the radical Islamic fanatics are the ones terrorizing many people across the globe.

Side: No
