What are religious terrorism rights and wrongs?

There are no rights in religious terrorism, whether Islamic or Christian. I could understand if seriously oppressed religious minorities chose a violent form of self-expression, yet it is instructive that the religious minorities of today do not engage in any form of terrorism. We do not hear of Tibetan Buddhists or Iraqi Mandaeans bombing aeroplanes, churches or mosques. Those who are truly oppressed minority are not those who engage in terrorism. The wrongs of religious terrorism are many and obvious. The religious terrorism that we have seen in recent decades has not been about bringing attention to a persecuted minority, but instead to force others to accept the alleged validity of the terrorists' claims. While all religions say they hold life sacred, religious terrorists take little heed of the lives lost or destroyed by their actions.


What are the consequences of eschatological terrorism?

when we talk of eschatological, it is better to define it first. Eschatological = The branch of theology that is concerned with the end of the world or of humankind or a belief or a doctrine concerning the ultimate or final things, such as death, the destiny of humanity, the Second Coming, or the Last Judgment. Terrorism has been defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. People will say that leader of sect or religions have the religion Connotation for the causes of terrorism. No matter is it said, no matter who the terrorism is comming from, the pricipal motivation is politics. While the 1980s saw a growth of politically inspired terrorism, the 1990s has seen a dramatic increase in terrorism motivated by a religious agenda. As a result, intelligence experts have claimed that we may well be witnessing an emerging trend and shift away from terrorism motivated by political ideology towards a dominant religious terrorism warranting a revision of our notions of the stereotypical terrorist organization. This trend has received some attention within the intelligence and law enforcement communities, and should should be of particular interest to individuals and organizations involved in monitoring extremist and new religious groups and movements, especially with regards to the U.S. domestic terrorism threat.

What country was involved with the Boston bombing?

That's tricky. The men involved were ethnic Chechens, but they had never actually been to Chechnya, which is part of Russia. Many Chechens want Chechnya to be a separate country from Russia and some have used terrorism to try to achieve this goal. Although the men involved are known to have been strongly in favor of Chechen independence, there's not an obvious reason why they targeted their terrorism at the United States. Chechen terrorism is usually targeted at Russia since the Russians are the ones who are refusing to let them be independent.
