That's a retarded argument cheesey.
Hundreds of people have been killed in The Troubles in Northern Ireland due to religion. And it's not like both of the sides are of completely different faith. They're both Christians, and they still kill each other, still perform terrorist attacks and still kill innocents.
Yet, not all christians are not terrorists, as you seem to imply in your latest post about muslims. Reality check time.

Actually, the religion thing in Ireland is b.s. It's not about religion. It's about one group of people kicked off their own land and happen to be of a different religion.
Quick history lesson in Ireland. The Brits are the bad guys. They see land, they want it, they take it. English move into Ireland and guess what, they're Protestant. Irish tend to be Catholic.
So yes, from an outsider, it looks like a battle of religion. Historically though, it's the English moved in and took land from the Irish and the Irish simply want their land back.
It would be like if we said the Native Americans in the 1800s were fighting with the Americans because we were a different religion.
Cheesey has a point. Not all terrorists are Muslims. But most of them are. That's just a cold hard not politically correct fact.
In Thailand right now, the terrorists are in the South. Are they:
a) Buddhist,
b) Hindu,
c) Muslim
In the Philippines right now, there are a group of people who kidnap and chop off people's heads. They got a tourist boat recently and chopped off heads except for the 2 Americans who saw what's up and jumped overboard and swam to the shore (and survived). The others got their heads chopped off. In fact, the USA State Department advises Americans to stay away from Mindanao, where they have the terrorist problems.
Are the terrorists in that case:
a) Catholics,
b) Muslims,
c) Chinese nationalists
Well, I'll be damned.
That said, the vast majority of Muslims just want to get a job, raise their kids, and get the most out of life just like you and me. It's a small, but vocal minority that ruins it for everyone else.
AND I'll even go as far to say that the main problem comes down to overpopulation anyways, which pisses off the Right wing when I say that because they got their heads so far up their asses that they'll completely deny that there are any environmental problems whatsoever.
But too many people and too few resources causes both war and terrorism. I don't see how any intelligent person can't understand that.
For the record, I have yet to meet a Muslim person, a Mormon, or a Quaker I didn't like. I've disliked plenty of people but never anyone in those 3 religions.
Let's cut out the political correctness everyone is equal bullshit because it's bullshit. Islam has terrorist problems. Islam has problems with how they treat women. Denying that is not being tolerant. It's being stupid.
That said, they have every Right to practice their religion that anyone else does in this country and in America, well over 99% of Muslims are NOT terrorists. I'll even go as far as saying I'd rather party with Muslims than Christians or especially Hindus as from experience, Muslims know how to have a good time. Other religions are too pent up to let loose. This is from personal experience.
The oil wars have begun. Water wars are next. Religion will be an excuse as good as any to kill over oil and water. That's what happens when you got too many people in the world.
