Looking for the roots of terrorism

[Beanz]

Islam claims to be the last and final revelation. It claims that any challenge to this is profane. It is a totalitarian concept but not the first. Muhammad is not the first man to have claims of perfection attributed to him and the Koran is not the first Holy book of which it is claimed, that it is the ineffable and perfect word of God. Most Christians and most Jews do not still believe that the Bible, or Torah, or Tanakh, is beyond questioning or interpretation. It has taken a while to come to that conclusion.

Islam means submission to God, not peace. Submission.

Many Christians and Jews have little problem aligning their belief and Scientific theories and concepts, such as Evolution and the right to practice any or no religion. This has not always been the case. The links between Judaism,Christianity, war,torture and slavery are long and bloody, but they have been irrevocably changed after two world wars in which many, if not most, combatants and victims were Christian or Jewish. (Of course they included others)

There is therefore a gulf between Islam and everyone else in the west.

Also a decent gulf between their thought processes and modern mans.
