How is right wing terrorism the biggest problem in continental Europe. They don't kill nearly as many people as right wing terrorist, except for Breivik. In the US terrorism as a whole isn't much of an issue. Which is surprising since you can buy a gun anywhere. The extreme right is mostly a dog that barks but doesn't bite in Europe. Islamic terrorists however kill plenty of people. The way I see it America is way stronger in the security department than Europe. I would very much doubt this attack would have occurred in the US if they had the same intell as Great Britain.

 

I'm not defending islamic terror, but I think I made my point. (i can add more to this list)

Ok, but how many people did this in the name of their religion, (screming "Jesus is great!" "This is for God and the Holy Spirit!" Etc..) right before commiting the attacks or killing themselves.

Not that I'm defending Christianity. I'm agnostic, and critical of all religion equally, including Christianity.. The thing I don't get is that so many seem so eager to shit on Christianity while Islam for some reason always seems to get a free pass - especially considering the track record of many Muslims in recent polls showing that they see women as second class citizens and a good chunk actually see homosexuality as a punishable sin, and with the several recent terror attacks (and yes I realise actual attacks and violence are obviously just fringe extremists that twist their teachings to justify their violence) But Islam must have SOMETHING to do with this, right? I'm not arguing against the existance of Islam or anything crazy like that obviously, but perhaps a reformation is needed, similar to what Christianity went through 100's of years ago, so that a more progressive, tolerant Islam can emerge.
