These terrorists use religion as their reason for killing and blowing up buildings. Many Christians are abhored by this misuse of their religion (as they see it). This is completely analagous to how the Muslims view the fewer 'jihadist' attacks in America.
However, it appears that eh can't bring himself to denounce his fellow American Christians who choose terrorism and use the Bible to justify these attacks. He is therefore, until he says otherwise, a supporter of religiously motivated terrorism when it is his fellow American Christians who are carrying out these acts.
Note that he is the one who invited this direct comparison. I, by contrast, condemn each and every instance of terrorism, regardless of what reason the terrorists give:

When I called his bluff:
shafique wrote:can event horizon join me in condemning the war crimes described in the Bible carried out by the Israelites - where children and women are slaughtered and virgins enslaved? Condemn this as a war crime?
Simple enough question. Why the filibustering?
A related question that eh was also raised in the past is eh's views of the American Christians who kill doctors and nurses who perform abortions. Is his religious view that these Christians have sinned and are going to hell, or does he agree with them that they are doing God's work? My view is that any terrorist - Muslim or Christian, suicide or otherwise, who kills children, women etc - are sinning and will go to hell (and that the act is against Islam - and specifically, any Muslim suicide bomber targetting Israeli civilians - regardless of whether the terrorist says they are soldiers in civilian clothes - is committing a sin and acting against Islam)
Is eh's religious view that the Christian terrorists blowing up doctors are as guilty of sin as the Muslim suicide bombers - and does he join me in condemning both equally?
Cheers,
Shafique
