look deeper

Why do people say "Islamic terrorism" ? It is a oxymoron because Islam means peace & surrender. You can not say peaceful terrorism. When Timothy McVeigh bombed that building in Oklahoma city no one said christian terrorism. Anyone who has ever committed terrorism no matter what his religion has done that deed for political reasons. If you look deeper people you will see most acts of terror are at the core political not religious.
