All religions predict peace, but cause war..........

All religions predict peace, but cause war..........

Yes, but one specific religion causes more wars than all the other religions put together, and that religion calls itself the religion of peace. The fanatics of that religion kill more of their co-religionists than any other groups combined.

Not too many Bhuddist suicide bombers in Berlin, or car bombs planted by Christian or Jewish extremists to worry about?.

"Our" relogion does not have that a clean history either !

<sarcasm> Northern Ireland in the 70 and 80'ies were a prime example of peaceful coexistence between two factions of Christian religion </sarcasm>

No, not really. Not unless you were growing up in Northern Ireland....

Quick summary from: http://www.news.com.au/world/the-most-b ... ba75468987

The Kingsmill massacre: twelve workmen travelling on a mini-bus were pulled over by a gang of republican gunmen near the village of Kingsmill in January 1976. They were ordered to line up beside the bus and told to reveal their religion. The eleven Protestant workmen were shot dead, their Catholic workmate left unscathed.

The Miami Showband killings: five men – including three members of one of Ireland’s most popular cabaret band – were gunned down by so-called Protestant “loyalists” in a late-night attack in 1975. The band had been travelling back to Dublin from a gig in Banbridge when they stopped at what appeared to be a military checkpoint but was actually a trap set by the paramilitaries.

The Shankhill Road bombing: three generations of one family wiped out after an IRA bomb exploded in a fish and chip shop in 1993. The IRA had intended to assassinate loyalist leaders who were set to meet in a room above the shop. But when the terrorists, disguised as delivery men, entered the shop, their bomb exploded prematurely. Ten people — including one of the bombers — died and 57 were injured.

Eight people were shot dead when a loyalist gang opened fire at a Halloween party inside the Rising Sun bar in the tiny County Londonderry village of Greysteel on October 30, 1993. The loyalist gang had shot dead four workmen in the town of Castlerock in seven months earlier.

The worst incident was the bombing of the Omagh town centre in August 1998, an atrocity that was carried out by the Real IRA, a splinter group who opposed the IRA’s ealier ceasefire and the Good Friday Agreement.
The car bombing claimed the lives of 29 people and injured about 220 — the highest death toll from a single incident during the Troubles.

On August 27, 1979, the Queen’s cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, was murdered by IRA killers who planted bomb in his fishing boat in County Sligo, close to the Northern Ireland border.
One of the earl’s twin grandsons, 14-year-old Nicholas, and Paul Maxwell, 15, a local employed as a boat boy, also died in the explosion.

Hours later, 18 British Army soldiers were killed when the IRA detonated two massive roadside bombs in Warrenpoint, County Down.
Other atrocities included the Enniskillen bombing, in 1987, and the bombing of McGurk’s Bar in 1971.

The IRA’s attack on a Remembrance Day service in Enniskillen killed 11 people — ten civilians and one policeman.

The 1971 bombing in McGurk’s Bar in north Belfast — carried out by the UVF in 1971 — killed 15 people.

I think few who lived outside Northern Ireland or the UK fully realize just how savage, brutal and completely indiscriminate the conflict in Northern Ireland really was.

That doesn't mean that the current situation with ISIS isn't incredibly dangerous but thinking that other terrorism is only conducted in name of one particular faith is simply not true.

And if you look at the Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF) or Action Directe or ETA, you'll see that terrorism can equally be driven by ideology instead of religion. In fact, if you look at FARC and several groups in South America, most noticeable the Medellin Cartel and in particular Pablo Escobar's gang, you will see that terrorism can easily be a weapon for political and criminal means. (These often go hand in hand).
