In the September 11 attacks how many terrorists were there on each plane?
The day began with the 19 hijackers getting through a security checkpoint system that they had evidently analyzed and knew how to defeat. Their success rate in penetrating the system was 19 for 19.They took over the four flights, taking advantage of air crews and cockpits that were not prepared for the contingency of a suicide hijacking. Mohamed Atta, from Egypt, was the ringleader of the 19 hijackers and one of the pilots. Atta died in the attack along with the other hijackers, but his luggage, which did not make the connection from his Portland flight onto Flight 11, contained papers that revealed the identity of all 19 hijackers, and other important clues about their plans, motives, and backgrounds. The number of terrorist aboard each flight is not listed. It is known that all did board the airplanes.

GET OFF OIL! If we get off oil, then we:
1. deprive the corrupt regimes of the Middle East of the money they need to stave off reform, money they and their subjects sometimes use to aid terrorism.
2. end the presumed need for our soldiers to be in Muslim countries with oil reserves, countries whose citizens resent us deeply for our interference. (In fact, when it comes to oil, our presence in the Middle East has made it harder, not easier for us to get it.)

Terrorism is the systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve some goal.

Osama was shot at least once in the head. The US has custody of his body. President Obama ordered the attack after receiving intelligence of bin Laden's location in a compound in Pakistan. The US first received this intelligence in August 2010. Bin Laden was the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has been in hiding for nearly a decade.

Answer
Because they believe they're lawful combatants fighting for a cause such as religious freedom. They don't see themselves as terrorists. It is like the saying one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
Answer
Terrorism is the battle plan of those who have no other weapon than their willingness to die for their cause. It arises out of hopelessness on the part of the low and intransigence on the part of the high. One must always remember, in the face of all the jingoism and rhetoric, that terrorists on OUR side are called freedom fighters, patriots, martyrs and heroes.
Why is there terrorism in Islam?
For the same reason there is terrorism in any faith: Not every follower pays attention to the larger picture, and some focus on only small parts of it. Islam as a whole condemns terrorism, and asserts that those who use terror are not truly following their faith.
Islamic terrorism is a new term falsified by media and politicians to go ahead with their plans of getting control of Muslim countries and to limit the growth of number of people converting to Islam.
Islam is a religion of mercy. Islam does not permit terrorism.
In the Quran, Holy book of Islam, God has said:
" God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers."(Quran, chapter 60/ verse 8)
Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) used, in any military conflict, to prohibit soldiers from killing women, children, old people, or any civilian. He would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.} And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}
Also, the Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) has forbidden punishment with fire.
He once listed murder as the second of the major sins (the first major sin is denying the oneness of God), and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, {The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.}
Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) said: {A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.}
He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet was asked, "Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?" He said: {There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.}
Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) said: {When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.}
In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.
Islam calls for peace love and living in harmony with all people irrelevant to their cultures, faiths, gender, or color.
The dictionary definition of a terrorist is someone who creates terror through violent action in order to achieve a goal.
A terrorist is a dangerous person with weapons and has the motive to kill people.
What religion are most middle eastern terrorists?
Answer A
There is no actual one religion for terrorists because terrorists come in all forms from all over the world.
Timothy McVeigh (the Oklahoma Bomber) was an American citizen and raised and confirmed Catholic and while not a practicing Catholic after his military time, he adhered to their core beliefs. Yet those that bombed the World Trade Center on Sept, 11th were of Muslim faith. But it is important to note that their particular sect of Muslim is called "extreme" as they do not follow, or believe, what the Koran teaches which is to never kill.
So to sum it up, there is no one religion that terrorists belong to and it is a wide-spread misconception that they are all Muslim only.
________________________________________________________
If someone is claiming (like Answer B below) that Islam is a religion of terrorism and brings some Quran verses to prove his/her beliefs, then I ask to write down the full verses and not truncated verses to understand the purpose and reasons of those verses. One should know also to whom the Quran verses are addressed and on what occasion. The space here is limited to explain these issues.
Islam is a religion of peace. The root word of the Arabic word of Islam is "salem" that means one to be in peace. It is the western media that propagated the idea of terrorism of Islam religion to justify invasion of the western countries to Islamic countries claiming waging war against terrorism while the main purpose is to get control of the energy and mineral resources of those Islamic countries. When you find a terrorist whose religion is Islam they call him/her by his/her religion as an Islamic terrorist. When you find a terrorist whose religion is Christianity or Judaism they call him.her by his/her nationality as Us or English or Japanese terrorist. What about the massacres committed against Muslims in Serbia, Burma, Chechen, the Palestinian territoriality, Iraq, and other countries. Are the killers Muslim terrorists?!
This false impression about Islam is propagated by Media just to divert non Muslims away from Islam and resist the flow of non Muslims who convert to Islam when they recognize it truthfulness and recognize the scientific miracles in Quran that prove it is a true God revelations to prophet Muhammad. Refer to questions below for more information.
Answer B
Hmm, there is no sect of Islam known as "Extreme". There are Sunni, Sufi, Shiia and Wahabbi. All follow the Koran which commands:
- Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. - Sura 2:98
- On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161
- Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191
- Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God's entirely. - Sura 2:193 and 8:39
Answer C
I don't know enough to give you a good answer, this is a complicated question, but I hope to contribute to an answer. I can only comment on Abrahamic religions, and even there only limited.
Let me first try to clarify your question. As I understand you: Which religions can be interpreted, (without unmistakable EVIDENCE to the contrary,) to have it's God/Gods support for terrorist acts?
Am I wrong?
Here it is, more than any mans word, the scriptures that are of importance.
If you search on Wikipedia, you'll get hits on "Christian terrorism", "Jewish religious terrorism" and "Islamic terrorism". On Google you might also search for Terrorism Bible, Terrorism Torah or perhaps Terrorism Koran. You might get some hits there too. Seems to me that someone has the opinion that all the three Abrahamic scriptures can be interpreted to give support to terrorism. But I don't know.
I don't know much about this and I hope that there are someone out there that are able to contribute to an answer, because this is a very important question you are asking.
The first step towards solving a problem is to identify it.
