text: Where to begin?  Recently a western superpower elected a president who said family members of known terrorists should be murdered.  Killing innocent people is the essence of terrorism.  Similarly,a western nation whose leaders proudly proclaim their Christianity waged a campaign of terror across Latin America that saw atrocities such as the murder of a group of Jesuit priests.  Those killers were trained at a very famous school run the military in a ‘Christian’ nation.  I don’t think it’s out of line to say the economic sanctions against Iraq that killed half a million Iraqi children was terrorism.  Indeed, at the time, the world’s foremost human rights organization,  Amnesty International, called for those sanctions to lifted because they were killing children, but the ‘Christians’ refused to relent.
  
  The point is not  who has done what for all concerned have done terrible things;  the point is that every infliction of harm on an innocent is incompatible with the Abrahamic faiths.
