Islamic terrorism is the same thing as right-wing terrorism
The details differ, but the defining characteristic of all right-wing religionists is an abiding contempt for religious pluralism. They deny the legitimacy of other faiths. All conservative religious traditions are hostile toward gays and lesbians and those who reject traditional gender roles. Most embrace religious nationalism and reject multiculturalism. There are some exceptions, but most oppose abortion. They all want to return to an idealized vision of an earlier, simpler time. When you get down to brass tacks, they’re all right-wingers.

Much more at the source; I've always felt this was true. Certainly if you compare the beliefs of Muslim extremists and social conservatives, there's a lot of similarity.

That's been said before, yes. Any extremism is stupidness.

A few years after the 9/11 attacks, a summit between fundamentalist Christian Americans and fundamentalist Muslims was organized. Both sides talked about how they couldn't believe how much they agreed upon.

I refer you to his post, above:
"A few years after the 9/11 attacks, a summit between fundamentalist Christian Americans and fundamentalist Muslims was organized. Both sides talked about how they couldn't believe how much they agreed upon."
What does that tell you, Major?

WRONG again, nicko...
What did come of it, is that both groups -- the respective right wing factions of both the Conservative Christians (i.e. American Evangelicals..) and the Conservative Muslims (i.e. American Islamists) -- find that they both want pretty much the same thing..
THAT IS, both groups want to drag the world back to those idyllic times (to their narrow way of thinking..) when churches had much more influence, and were tightly intertwined with government.

What that Idiot Stormee's idiotic comment tells the rest of the forum, is just what a clueless and uncomprehending idiot he actually is..
Only Stormee is so witless and unthinking, that he attempts to claim that an anti-extremist/anti-Islamist thread can somehow be construed as Ben turning this forum into a "pro Muslim" site.
Stormee is well beyond being considered as merely ignorantly stupid..

Re: Islamic terrorism is the same thing as right-wing terrorism
Has someone claimed that Islamic terrorism is left wing then, or that it's the same as left-wing terrorism?

Re: Islamic terrorism is the same thing as right-wing terrorism
Its pointless you fishing for a L/W good R/W bad argument, especially one containing religious allusions (at least from the brits) since YOUR (apparantly american) ideal of liberalism/L.W ism is totally at varience with the european model of said ideals....

It happens pretty often in the U.S., particularly back when Bush was in office -- if you were a Democrat who criticized Bush, you must have been on bin Laden's side.
It's been tapering off over the past few years but I always felt that it was unfair to associate the left with extreme fundamentalist conservatism, exhibited both by the American Christian Right and fundamentalist Muslims.

Yes, the mad mullahs and neo nazis have so much in common, they are almost interchangeable, frankly.
Handy Andy explained it rather well in his thread using the clockface as a model.
Both sets of extremists are at 6am, he said. See link below.

He was saying that two people coming from opposite directions will meet in the middle.
The crazy imams and the right wing fascists both have conservatism in common.
That's all really, eds.

Far-right U.S. politician and commentator Pat Buchannan vs. far-left economic activists:
Buchannan: America is the greatest country in the world! The big successful corporations that were started here owe a great debt to the United States. Thus, because patriotism, they owe it to Americans to not offshore jobs. There should be a law preventing them from doing that.
Lefty economic activists: America is the wealthiest country in the world! The big successful corporations that were started here owe a great debt to the United States. Thus, because fairness, they owe it to Americans to not offshore jobs. There should be a law preventing them from doing that.

Re: Islamic terrorism is the same thing as right-wing terrorism
Just remembered this:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/03/29/schuster.column/
SEBRING, Florida (CNN) -- A couple of hours up the road from where some September 11 hijackers learned to fly, the new head of Aryan Nation is praising them -- and trying to create an unholy alliance between his white supremacist group and al Qaeda.
"You say they're terrorists, I say they're freedom fighters. And I want to instill the same jihadic feeling in our peoples' heart, in the Aryan race, that they have for their father, who they call Allah."
With his long beard and potbelly, August Kreis looks more like a washed up member of ZZ Top than an aspiring revolutionary.
Don't let appearances fool you: his résumé includes stops at some of America's nastiest extremist groups -- Posse Comitatus, the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nation.
"I don't believe that they were the ones that attacked us," Kreis said. "And even if they did, even if you say they did, I don't care!"
Kreis wants to make common cause with al Qaeda because, he says, they share the same enemies: Jews and the American government.
The terms they use may be different: White supremacists call them ZOG, the Zionist Occupation Government, while al Qaeda calls them the Jews and Crusaders.
But the hatred is the same. And Kreis wants to exploit that.

Well he's right about the Jews and the Americans. They were responsible for 9/11.

Re: Islamic terrorism is the same thing as right-wing terrorism
of course it is the same
it is the politics of the hill shepherd
the Demagogue without morals that lies to the mentally weak.
UKIP, Trump and ISIS all are appealing to the same demographic within their own community.
Fuck, people have been doing it since Ancient Greece

Ah, it's another pop at Christians. I thought so. You didn't mention them in your thread title - you're slipping.

It's not a pop at Christians, you hypersensitive little shit.

Bit of an overreaction I'd say.

Hypersensative little shit, who the fuck do you think your talking to?
Getting foul mouthed with posters is not on,
By the way, have a word with your mate Veya, threatening a poster with banning for speaking the truth.

Of course it is. You wouldn't mention Muslims in a negative way otherwise - that's very clear.
Take a look at yourself before you call anyone else a "little shit". You're really not a very pleasant person.
