Religions Also Used Terror Of the three seminal religions of the Near East, Judaism and Christianity and Islam, the Jews founded Israel by a form of genocide. Joshua had particularly practiced a policy of ethnic cleansing, as can be read in the biblical account of his reign, when he the population of Ai, men, women and children together to the number of 12,000, and burned the town. He exterminated King after King and tribe after tribe, particularly in Hebron. And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, the King thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein ; he left none remaining . The great problem of any religion is when it passes from poverty to power. When the faithful are persuaded that they now rule through the leaders, a terrible revenge is exacted against those who disagree. Terrorism has a long history. As an activity, it has a lineage of at least two millennial and has been traced back to Roman times. Most of the terrorism identified during this period was religiously inspired. Extremists associated with Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam have instigated terrorism. This characteristic is particularly noticeable during times of great religious change and unrest. UNESCO has estimated that during the last 2000 years, approximately 200 million people have been killed because of religious wars, Inquisitions, and other religious violence. Although we call ourselves more civilized than our ancestors, we have been able to terrorize to death at least 100 million people in the twentieth century, a scale of genocide made possible by modern technology, which is our pride and Joy. If we have not Progressed from barbarism to some humanity, we are beyond redemption. It might be possible that the fighters of ( ISIS ) have read the same book that I have, and decided to behave just has bad as religions and governments, in particular were it mentions that we have been able to terrorize to death at least 100 million people in the twentieth century alone, because of modern technology which is our pride and joy. Therefore ISIS fighter are probably thinking, the Americans with their allies are using the latest technology to kill us, so it means they kill many more humans than we kill right ?. Also technology is their pride and joy, instead ISIS pride and joy is when we behead our enemies if they dont pay a ransom for their freedom. Does it make us ISIS fighters worse than the Americans and their allies when they kill much more violently with their technology that it blows people up in hundreds of peaces that cannot even be recognized to be identified and to be buried. Instead us fighters of ISIS only cut their head so they are still recognizable to be identified for the prayers and the burial right ?. .
