How are terrorist attacks different from christian soldiers slaughtering Native Americans in the name of God?
You need to fast forward to today. Christians don't do those things.
Reply:Many terrible acts have been carried out in the names of many gods. This does not mean that these deities had or have anything to do with them.





Blessed Be
Reply:You got it all wrong buddy, terrorism is when a group of people who do not belong to a certain government tries to bring down another government by using terror as a weapon.





America was simply conquering the Native Amercian tribes by force, huge difference.





Plus they did it in the name of money, land and protection.
Reply:Semantics. Dude.
Reply:They are the same: their "religion" is just emotional whitewash for the terrorist/soldier committing murder. God does NOT approve, and only really stupid people believe in the "faithfulness and wisdom" of the "religious soldiers" (or terrorists, whatever you want to call them).





Real believers are not decieved by this at all!
Reply:The only difference is the Christians seem to have reexamined a few things and aren't doing it on a regular basis now. The Muslims still seem to think it is the seventh century.
Reply:there is no difference, their land was stolen from them, do not put all Christians into that group, and do not put all Muslims into that group, you are preaching prejudice by doing so
Reply:its a loaded question





if you mean people seeking gold from the Inca and Aztecs, they are more driven by materialism. You are generally describing cultural Christianity doing things in the name of God for greed or some other purpose





if you mean someone giving blankets to Indians that were contaminated by some disease, as I think was said to happen in the early west, its a cruel and heartless way to treat people


The Geneva convention would condemn it today





when people harm others for purpose of greed or bitterness or some other reason outside the will of God, I agree, there is some similarity both are claiming to do something in Gods name that appears against Gods laws... in some ways both are forms of idolatry, acting in the name of God and acting out evil trying to justify it





but if you mean biblical Christianity, Christians are under construction, they make mistakes but love truth and try and please God based on what God revealed in the scriptures and Jesus words would not lead you to slaughter native Americans or cheat or harm them. I think you are not distinguishing between Christians in name only, and real Christ followers
Reply:One is one people conquering another (Cortez conquering the Aztecs for example) while the other is just mindless violence for the sake of scaring people.
Reply:Well being an Irish-Geman Catholic,smoking Republican(not a hero to very many) albiet.....The American Indian was defending himself,his people and his land and way of life against foreign intruders on their land.The terrorists on the other hand werent,they went into searching for the infidels,away from thier land,they were given major leniency since the gas wars and from the time of Yasser Arafat(1973 -on),they had money power,influence and the right to soveriegn there own nations(in this world of today) and the right to believe what they wanted in the world,the indians didnt
Reply:Terrorism strikes unexpectedly at innocent people with the idea of getting those people to CHANGE government's mind about things. To ACCEED to demands.





War is war.





Americans DID NOT dress up an indians and go into a village with a horse filled with dynamite and park it by a tent.





Americans did not wear dyanmite and bursh into eating tents and pull the pin and blow eveyrone up.





One day you'll be in Target in line to check out and some FREAK will pull the pin and wipe out half the check out lines.





What WILL YOU DO.





Will you DEMAND Government STOP this and that to keep it from happening again.





THAT is terrorism.





Terrorism is YOU being afraid to enjoy at Latte at Starbucks for fear some idiot will blow you up, so you DEMAND government stop supporting ISRAEL in the HOPE the bombings will stop. But they won't. Eventually YOU will have to put on robes, carry a Holy Book, bow to some wall and pray 5 times or a day or you'll never be able to have a peaceful LATTE again!





It's up to you. Decide.





Terrorism CONTROLS YOUR LIFE.
Reply:Native American attacks were more devastating .
Reply:I don't know what you're trying to do, but as much as I hate Muslims being called terrorists - I also hate when people call Christians terrorists.





A true believer cannot be a terrorist!
Reply:they are not...but just because you make an action under the banner of christ does not make you or the act christian...so your question should be minus that word. I can kill a non-christian and thats agaist christianity, a muslim can kill a non-muslim and thats just following their doctrine.
Reply:They're not, dude.
Reply:Terrorists attack out of revenge and hatred.


True Muslims are peaceful, loving people.





American soldiers sadly slaughtered Native Americans in the name of GREED!


It had nothing to do with Christianity.


Read your history.
Reply:Christians don't kill people.


"Christians" do.
Reply:I don't think the slaughtering of Native Americas ever had anything to do with Christianity. I don't even think anyone ever tried to use Christianity as an excuse for their behavior. It was based on pure bigotry. "This land is uninhabited, except for these savages. We'll just make sure to get rid of them, one way or another."





The terrorist ARE motivatied by a distorted version of thier religion.





The crusades would have been a better example. Then the difference would be "over 700 years."
Reply:And how is this different then your ancestors enslaving, beating, and slaughtering Afro-Americans?
Reply:One's on payroll for the United States of America and the other is funded by morons...... They aren't much different when you think about it.....
Reply:Jesus didn't die for our sins. General Custer did.
Reply:What history book are you reading?
Reply:Terrorist attack because they want to cause Terror, for power and control, and each use their own reason to validity their cruelty.


Christians soldiers didn't slaughter the Native Americans in the name of God, they too did it over power and control.





Check your calender, it is 2006, as far as I know the Native American are not being killed by the Christian soldiers. That was past tense. get with it pal, and read some history.
Reply:the christians yelled "chaaaarge!" and the terrorists yell, "allahoo-akbar!" then they killed who they killed.
Reply:It's not. Its just like various organized religions condoning the slaugther of hundreds of thousands during all the inquisitions and the crusades... everyone has been persecuted by religion at one time or another, women, Native americans, etc etc the list goes on. Indeed most terrorism is religiously motivated

Reply:There is no difference!





Welcome back my dear! ; )
Reply:Killing in any form is a terror tactic. Governments use terror to keep populations in line. Everyone believes Santa is going to give them what they want in the afterlife and justify their use of terror to get to the afterlife.
Reply:Wow . what a beautiful question!!!!!!!!!!!!!111This great country of ours, America, she is a lady of deception, a woman of propaganda, and a trollop in the truest sense of the word. first of all, let me make my self clear, known, and maybe not respected, but none the less validated{if that} lets begin with the poor subjugated, misled and pillaged and oh don't let me forget to mention slaughtered like vermin. in abhorrent numbers, and ironically in the most "savage" ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Believe me when i say this, the sweet Lord does not lend, give, or entrust his reputable name on any murderous genocide ridden contract with any group, or sole person of any persuasion, origin. or political party, no we, before, or in the future. this country, has slaughtered, maimed, ravaged , and totally decimated whole groups of God's children !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1talk about using the Lords name in vain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11My motto is.............................. support the boy, **** the Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:No difference!








I am so happy to see you!!!!!!!!!! Big kiss on your handsome cheek!
