Why do terrorists attack mosques?

Answer 1

SpeculationThey don't. Attacks on mosques are usually false-flag operations performed by the American or British military to divide the Muslim community and to criminalize the people who fight against their invasion.

The same thing happened in northern Ireland (which is ocuppied by Britain) during the 70's, 80's and 90's by the british to divide communities and criminalize the IRA who fought against them. They called the IRA terrorrists yet the british killed far more civilians than the IRA. The IRA NEVER target civilians, they only consider soldier's and the so called police as legitimite targets. The exact same happens in the Middle East today. it is plan against Islam. to stop Muslims going to mosques (everybody loves life) plus to form a notorious image of Islam and Muslims.

OpinionThere are numerous Islamic sects. Violent conflict between Islamic sects occurs.

The Ahmadi sect considers itself Muslim but isn't recognized as such by other members of the religion's mainstream sects. Pakistan's constitution doesn't consider Ahmadis to be Muslims, and adherents have experienced years of discrimination, some of it state-sponsored. Radicals from the dominant Sunni branch of Islam in Pakistan have targeted Ahmadis before.

But even in violence-racked Pakistan, where Taliban and allied militants frequently target minority religious groups, especially Shiite Muslims, the Ahmadis have been spared large-scale attacks, making Friday's assault notable for its sweep.

At an Ahmadi mosque in Lahore's Model Town neighborhood, police and witnesses said five to six gunmen, some of them wearing suicide vests, broke through the light security cordon surrounding the place of worship and opened fire.

OpinionIslamic sects has never been a problem big enough to cause this much bloodshed.

ITS POLITICS!
