chinu, only partially around Christianity (Crusades, etc), Islamic radicals also have a hard on for Jews, Hindus, Bhuddists, Mormons, Shintos, Agnostics, Atheists,and generally anyone having something they don't, specifically they are the children of poverty and despair, driven to irrational behaviour by those clerics and politicos with their own agendas. We don't have time to wait for a new educated generation of thinking Islamists, we need to eliminate the baddies now.

Chinu. You said....." Haqihana, this whole question of terrorism centers around years of animosity between Islam and Christianity."..... Agreed. But would add that the animosity is the result of islam's need to dominate all other religions.

chinu, Lorne, and chuck, have already answered you quite well. The muslims attempted to raid into Eastern Europe, which helped to cause the reaction of the Christian factor to begin the crusades. Admittedly, both of the actions were fomented by radical, religious, leaders, but what is so new about that? Bear in mind, the the European knights of the crusades, primarily, went to battle against the armies of moslems, but as they have always done, the moslems delight in slaughtering innocent, non-combatant, citizens. That is the difference between us. No need to bring up the slaughters of the hebrews in their drive to their "holy land". Although the Bible says that those conquests were ordered by God, I cannot believe that. The God that I believe in, would not condone such actions. The people that the troops of Moses, and Joshua, attacked, did nothing to cause such attacks, except get in the way. IMO, if such events happened as reported, they were tragedies, but they had nothing to do with the conflicts of today. Neither Isaac, nor Ishmael, had been born yet.
