No it isn't terrorism, some groups believe that they're in war with the west and it has nothing
to do with religion but revenge, but it happened that these groups to be Muslims.
It happens quite consistently, along a remarkably long period of time. Since Munich now, at least.

What happened in Munich? i don't understand what do you mean?

In 1972, there was a very traumatic, very public murder of Israeli athletes during the Munich Olympics.

While the events since are nothing if not complex, I think it is fair to say that it was an important factor in keeping the Israelis vindictive. And of course, both the massacre itself and the Israel revenge emboldened further attempts, which have become regrettably commonplace in Israel.

And it has nothing to do with Islam, Hamas wasn't even born yet.

Hamas is just a more recent manifestation of Arab-Muslim antisemitism. Israel had to literally go to war with it at least twice before, at its 1940s inauguration and in 1967.

Self-contradictory with what?
What do you mean by Muhammed warning against harming even a tree, while at the same time frequently waging war in the battlefield?

Are you implying that somehow he and his followers of the time did not harm their enemies? I am fairly certain that the Qur'an does not support such a claim.

How such wars between Jews and Muslims are related to Islam?
Or religion is the reason for all our wars including world war I and II?

Islam didn't exist at that era, some atheists accepted Islam and the others fought them
to force them to leave Islam, they fought the messenger and not the contrary.

I created a topic to learn more about that a few weeks ago, to no avail.

But to the best of my current understanding, Islam is indeed a complete way of life.

One that has way too little reluctance in lending prestige to the idea of treating people in different ways due to belief or nationality.

One that teaches that all people are basically destined to choose eventually between acceptance of the Qur'an or endless torment in Hell.

One that emphasizes its own deity-idea so much that it has pretty much turned it into a crutch, without which little remains of its own doctrine. Always a dangerous step to take, since it is so easy for any believer to convince himself that he is acting "in God's name".


And it is also, for whichever exact reasons, it is also one whose name wave after wave of fanatical terrorists proclaim as they make a point of drawing Israeli blood.

No matter how consistently it is shown that (obviously) most Muslims disapprove of that violence, one has to ask why the correlation is so strong.

Or religion is the reason for all our wars including world war I and II?

Proselitist monotheisms do have a strong tendency to nurture bitter conflict, as seems only natural in hindsight. It is very difficult to be at peace with people that one has sincerely convinced himself to be willing, unrepentant sinners.

But no, wars have varied causes. One of the most decisive, particularly in those two World Wars, is nationalistic chauvisnism and pride. I long for the day when humanity repúdiates both to their extinction.

Atheists? Don't you mean Pagans? Somehow I doubt there were significant communities of atheists back in the day. Of course, in a sense it is monotheism that creates atheism...

Isn't it a direct contradiction for one to be an atheistic Muslim?

and the others fought them to force them to leave Islam, they fought the messenger and not the contrary.
That is an odd story if I ever heard any. Even were I to accept it without questions, it must be acknowledged that it is a rare military conflict that has one side claiming to be the aggressor. It is quite often possible to spin the narrative to present the aggression as a "necessary response".

- no one was injured

- the Perp was shot by the police

- the Perp only had Gas/Alarm pistols


Quite literally nothing to see here.


The butthurt Muslims and Gun fanatics will have to look for another event to vent their butthurtness.

The word terrorism is derived from the word terror.
If i say to you that i'm gonna kill you, then i'm a terrorist regardless
of the reason, i just caused you to worry and to feel fear about what
Not really, you need a motive that you want to change society. An agenda. If someone just kills someone else or even a group of people they aren't a terrorist if we don't find something they wanted to achieve in the targeted society by that. It doesn't matter how misguided they are or how stupid they are in choosing their targets.
