Fundamentalists and Terrorists

What it means to be a Terrorist Fanatic
We need to be able to make sound decisions and look at people with fairness. We need to look at some very important aspects concerning fairness. In the study of religion we use the label "fundamentalist" and attach it to a large variety of religions to segment a certain type of activities people are taking that delineate them as "being" a Fundamentalist. What is most important is that we maintain our ability to very quickly judge actions as being right or wrong and very slowly if at all judge people.
I believe you will find that there is a gray area of those who consider themselves to be "Fundamentalists" in all of these groups. These are those who hold their religion is the "only" source of truth, their scripture the "only" inspired "word of God, Allah, G-d" and they are "willing" to defend their position with physical force if needed in their mind. Being "willing" to defend a position that cannot be proven with fact as true is not terrorism. Taking action to preemptively attack a supposed "enemy" as part of their "willingness to defend their position" is terroristic in nature.
Though groups that are founded on hate and hating others exist and sponsor terrorism and promote the belief in terror as a viable process of social change; that alone does not make all of their adherents as culpable as those who own, operate and perform the tactical aspects of their organization.

Are there Christian Terrorists?

Are there Christian Terrorists?

You may want to look at this site from Northeastern University concerning "Hate Crimes" and the involvement of the KKK. Keep in mind that using judgment is not the same as being judgmental. I have friends in all walks of life. Having them as friends does not for me qualify them for a special dispensation from reality. If someone promotes racism and violence they are promoting hate.

You can also look at the Air Force University Library for the identification of known Hate Groups and Terrorists organizations operating in the United States. The KKK is part of the Christian Identity Group which is a larger known Hate Group (i.e. Terrorist Organization, this one is hiding behind “Christianity”) responsible for murdering Nurses, Doctors and Judges. http://www.au.af.mil/au/aul/bibs/tergps/tgdom.htm

I am a retired United States Military Officer who has over twenty one years of service and have personal as well as professional knowledge of the subject at hand. You cannot be a part of any such hate group and be in the US Military. This is not said to offend but to inform. If a stove is hot to not say so would be dereliction.
