The world needs new definitions of terrorism
January 24, 2015 at 5:25 pm
in the wake of the apparent obscene murder of a Japanese captive, the Japanese PM says they will never bow to terrorism - isn't it time to redefine "terrorism" as Islamic terrorism? There is other terrorism in the world, but we all have to accept that 99.9% percent of evil violence in this world is in the name of Islam... when will the world wake up and accept this?
PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!

Well I'd call "99.9% of evil violence" an overexaggeration but certainly most terrorist acts are.
Anyway, I think these events with the Japanese hostages shit on any arguments that Islamic terrorism is happening because Muslims are angry with America and the West.
Japan has hardly done anything in the Middle East. It just shows these people (ISIS) are anti everything modern and hate any countries that are too civilised for them. Why else would it be? Japan has virtually no military outside of self-defense forces, and their diplomatic relations with America aren't that strong. ISIS are just targeting the civilised world in general, so Japan are dragged in too.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

I don't know if most terrorism is committed by muslims. In the US, most terrorist acts are actually committed by right wing extremist groups.

Yes, according to research talked about in Secular Talk.

Citation please?
In answer to your question, no it isn't time to redefine terrorism as Islamic Terrorism. Give me a source that isn't from Fox News that suggests that 99.9% of all evil violence is related to Islam?
Until such a time, I'm going to discard you as a radical. Your statement is ironically akin to similar statements made by Islamists.

I'm not in the mood for getting all legal eagle, but seriously have you watched any news in the past 10 years ffs?
Have a look on here : http://www.jihadwatch.org/ and if you need any more, you can google as well as I can.
Calling me a radical is the same as calling me a carrot.. you seem to be very apologetic about muslim killing, please at least explain that !!!!

To what purpose? That is to say, what good will be served by changing the name?

Calling me a radical is the same as calling me a carrot.. you seem to be very apologetic about muslim killing, please at least explain that !!!! I'm not getting all legal eagle. I'm asking you to give me something that explains why we should redefine terrorism as Islamic Terrorism. People have been shifting the goal posts on terrorism for years and it has yet to achieve anything. Nelson Mandela is a prime example of this; he was still regarded as a terrorist by the FBI well into his leadership of South Africa.
Of course I've watched the news. I'm not denying nor endorsing killing in the name of Islam, I'm just saying you have nothing that supports your claim that 99.9% of all evil violence on this earth is related to Islam. You're using made-up facts and fabrication to endorse a radical claim and that, to me, is not good enough.
So you gave me a link that is primarily focused on reporting incidents performed in the name of Jihad. That's not representative of all crime and violent acts in the world. I don't need to find evidence or sources. You're making the claim; it's up to you to convince me that what you're saying is true.
I'm not apologetic about any killing, be it in the name of Islam, Christianity, Atheism etc. I'm also not apologetic about calling you out on a bullshit claim. Because that's exactly what it is... a bullshit claim.
What you said was radical. Fabricating evidence and using bias sources; that's what radical people do.

Because people might start to focus on the cause of the biggest threat this world has faced in decades.. terrorism has a few specific causes, like the IRA, but these are overshadowed completely by a religion, and the world should stand up and challenge this religion that won't sleep until we're all converted or killed
