So in all your examples there is not a single one where you could really say x killed y cause x was a Christian.... The examples you share above are not for clearly religious reasons or agendas.
I wasn't trying to imply that they were, I was replying to this comment.
The Christian body count is quite low this year ie 0 (
List of terrorist incidents in 2019 - Wikipedia) Muslims are the ones who are killing people in all the major incidents this year.
The statement you made is untrue. While the ideology and the purposes behind the examples of the attacks I gave varied, they are examples of Christians willing to carry out atrocities against innocent people.
If you need examples of Christian terrorism, the most notorious would be The Lord's Resistance Army which was trying to establish a Christian state based on the Ten Commandments in Central Africa. It still exists today (One of the examples I gave was from this group) and has killed and maimed as many people as ISIS has during it's history.
There are several other examples of Christian terror groups. The Ilaga here in The Philippines, Anti-Balaka in the CAR, the NLFT and the NSCN in India (They get funding from the Baptist Church), and the Maronite Christian Militias that were found in Lebanon. There are also Christian militias and groups in the US that carry out acts of terrorism.
But in Sri Lanka we have a clear religious agenda and target for these murders by Muslims.
Are you sure about that? Terror groups often hide behind the religious veil while their goals and agenda's vary. ISIS for example claims it wants to establish a caliphate, but many of the groups worldwide that have aligned themselves with ISIS could care less about this. Many only swear allegiance to ISIS to boost their credibility and instill further fear in the region they operate in to push their own agendas which may be drug trafficking, extortion, clan wars, etc... Money, greed, and personal gain are the driving forces behind many terror groups.
While the leaders of these groups may be highly educated in Islam, the Qur'an, and hadiths, most of the rank and file members are ignorant of these things. They don't join these groups for religious reasons, they join primarily because of personal grievances, a feeling of belonging, or for financial gain. This is why you see many non-Muslims and even Christians joining ISIS in countries that face extreme poverty. Joining ISIS can ensure insure a member of a steady income for themselves and their families.
Here in the Mindanao for example, the average income for a family of 5 is less than $200 per month; for many it's less than $60 per month, especially in the Muslim Majority provinces. ISIS affiliated recruiters are offering people $600 per month and in some cases more to join their ranks. They are also offering to pay for the education of children within a person's household. Those incentives are hard to turn down for someone who has lived in poverty their entire lives, and especially for those who also hold grievances against the government.
Much of the violence in Africa for example is tribal, the IRA in Ireland have been disowned by the Catholic church and cannot claim a Christian mandate for anything they do or have done for that matter which is really more to do with a secular aspiration for freedom and Irish nationalism, violence in South America is also complicated by drugs and the residue of Marxist liberation agendas in a very unequal society.
Everything you said here would also apply to Islamic terrorism.
He was quoting Pope Urban II in his call for the First Crusade... His agenda in his writings as a whole is a white surpemacist one and he is simply using papal words to try and boost his credentials.
Yes, he used a quote that resonates with him and his ideology. This would lead us to believe that he would identify himself as a Christian.
