...versus being committed by left wingers/socialist extremists/ecoterrorists?


Yes they both commit terrorist attacks.... But what is the percentage on either side? I'm guessing it is not equal.

Since Muslim extremists falls under religious fundamentalist it won't be close. I would say religion is the cause of most of today's conflicts.

So since religious fundamentalism is bad, would you argue that American Christian fundamentalists should have a reduced voice in government?

I hate to agree with you, but would have too, at the forefront of many of our problems, is a Religion, and some hardline extremists.

Most of the conflicts past and present, have been linked to religion.

Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, and Mao were all left-wing terrorists.

Why such an extreme response? Why not be reasonable and campaign for people to refuse to elect religious fundamentalists to office and refuse to support propositions propagated by them?

First, Hitler was not left wing.

Second, they were all leaders of a state. That disqualifies them.

Lots of different ways to look at this question.

Historically, more people have been killed in Gods name then any other. But that isn't anything negative about religion, its been used by elites and other leaders to inspire the poor to give up their lives for them.

The one best answer to this is this.

There is one common denominator for all of these people, they are insane.
