Terrorism

Contrary to what some would like us to believe, terrorism and fundamentalism are not synonymous.
Fundamentalism is a Christian movement that arose as a response to Christians who began rejecting the accuracy of scripture, that Christ was the second person of the Godhead, the virgin birth, the resurrection, Christ's substitutionary atonement, and literal miracles of Christ. This is supported in encyclopedia definitions, Presbyterian Church USA's 1910 General Assembly, and the book series entitled "The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth."

Terrorism, as previously stated, is the use of violence to promote an agenda. Some examples are Nazism, Irish Republican Army, The Inquisitions, Roman Empire, Al-Qaeda, Klu Klux Klan, Anti-Abortion Terrorist acts, Alexander the Great's campaigns, Mongolian Empire, the Crusades, Viking raids, Vandals, Philistine raids, traditional Satanism, and Islam. True Islam is not peaceful as many would claim. True Islam is filled with terrorism. Just as true Satanism is not peaceful nor atheistic. True Satanism is terroristic and not atheistic. True Christianity, however, does not entail any form of terroristic activities. Which should be obvious. But these days, many define true Christianity with a distorted definition of Fundamentalism in a continual attempt to undermine it. Most terrorist groups today are Islamic based.
