I am always hearing: “Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims”
so is the same thing as saying:
“Not all Catholics are child molesters but all child molesters in places of worship are catholic priests”
Think about this for a while, and think about the message between the two.
Your thoughts?

She’s saying that calling all terrorists Muslim is like calling all child molesters Catholic. It would also be like saying, “Not all atheists are gay, but all gays are atheists.” Also not true, and a generalization.
And she’s right. Although not all terrorists are Muslim (see also: eco-terrorists) and not all child molesters are Catholic priests (see also: Roman Polanski), there are some that are. That doesn’t make the generalization a true or correct, and I’m sure she’s tired of hearing it.

No. Some IRA members performed acts of terrorism in N. Ireland opposing British rule. There are many examples of terrorists not related to Islam. No again about all molesters who are clergy are Catholics. However, no other church sect has come anywhere close to the number of cases, and lawsuit awards given to victims. I believe molestation of children in institutions staffed with mostly unmarried adult males is a high percent occasion for such serious sins. An occasional non-Catholic minister might get into that problem, but that isn’t seen to be a widespread repetitive problem in any protestant or other non-Catholic church group. I have not read of Catholic priests losing their career over such things, but American non-Catholic ministers can count on being run off in a ‘heart beat’ just by getting too involved in a case of child sexual abuse inside the ministry buildings. The standard is never even to be named in such things, keeping yourself so well conducted not even false accusations will be made.
There’s child molestors in many areas in society. I was in a flat share with a lady who was meddled with by her mullah – she was an athiest as a result.
But the child molesting goes against the Bible. And it couldn’t be taught, but rather is a shameful thing. I think the roman catholic church should allow its priests to marry – that might decrease the chance of the problem for them. (Mohammed’s life doesn’t bear scrutiny about this particular of morality.)
But in Islam the terrorism is justified by the people doing it, from the Koran and hadith themselves. Seeing as Mohammed also used violence, sometimes in terrifying ways, a lot, is this suprising? Can it be God’s revelation if its part of Mohammed’s message?
Well — the first one — unfortunately it tends to be true about the Muslims.
Unfortunately, a lot of catholic priests have been child molesters — but it has also applied to Baptist churches also. It has a lot to do with Power / authority over people. Power corrupts.
People tend to put pastors / church leaders on a pedistal that they don’t belong on.
Some would consider those kind of comments as — what’s the term ? bigotry? stereotyping?
A human being / any human being/ is capable of horrible actions.
Instead of spending time Blaming people — make sure We are living a life that will please God.
Catholic priests have the lowest incidence of child molestation than any other clergy. Protestant sects clergy molest children at a rate many times greater than among Catholics. It is because if is so rare that it makes the news. Even school teachers are more likely to be molestors as well as family members. Most people who molest children are married as well. To put it simply , you are committing the sin of bearing false witness against Christ’s Church and its faithful. May our Lord have mercy on you.
God bless!

The problem is, your second statement is based in ignorance. The incidence of such sins/crimes among catholic priests is actually slightly lower than the incidence among Protestant clergy, and the same as the incidence among Jewish rabbis. The only thing higher in cases involving priests is the amount of press coverage.
I suppose it depends on what level of terrorism your talking about.

Terrorism is an act of forcing someone to do something,against their will, or an attack on someone because you don’t like them. So in a sense not all Muslims are terrorist. Many christians and catholics and all other manner of religous people can be a terroist. Same rule applies to your Child molester example. Violent acts doesn’t know gender, race, religion, age. ect …. It is the individual doing this, and I feel sorry for them because they haven’t found Jesus, and repented of their ways.
I don’t believe I’ve heard the first statement before, and I don’t agree with it anyway. You don’t have to be Muslim if you are a terrorist. And I don’t agree with the second statement either. If you are a child molester in a place of worship, that does not make you a Catholic priest. Both statements are really silly and ill thought.
Terrorism is modern word which has been introduced for neurolinguistic programming purposes it had been designed so that certain rulers can tar with a brush peoples who may be a threat to their world rule, if anyone dares to fight for their rights they become daubed with this new Label! no longer do governments say freedom fighters! or a peoples struggling for their rights, no TERRORISTS it makes people want to kill them even when they had no quarrel with you, a very clever way of Demonizing any harmless people just set them up to look bad once and the tar will stick.
A college acquaintance of mine became a Boy Scout leader and then a Boy Scout molester. No, the Catholics have no monopoly on that sort of thing.
There have been terrorist attacks in the United States that have nothing to do with Islam. Such assertions are trivial and useless.
Wrong…
Not all Child Molesters in a place of worship are Priests.
Here is a site that shows Baptist ministers who are Child Molesters. http://stopbaptistpredators.org/index.ht…
Catholic Priests: ~1-2%
Protestants:-~8-10%
Terrorists are supposedly a smaller group, so if a majority of terrorists are Muslims, it doesn’t mean a majority of Muslims are terrorists.
To Americans, they are the Terrorists, but to us, we are the heroes.
To the Middle East, we are the Terrorists, and they are the heroes.
There are probably child molesters in churches that are not catholic priests. And Oklahoma City was bombed by terrorists that were not muslim.
So I would say that both statements are false.
There’s a difference between a catholic and a Born Again Spirit-Filled Believer IN Jesus too, dude. (Authentic Christianity IS being Born Again.) period. <‘)))><
no not all muslims are terrorists but there are some that are americans also its for moeny for alot of them. just as no its not all catholics are child molesters and they are not all priests they are everyone of every walk of life.
Not all muslims are terrorists, all muslims that work for the US government are terrorists.
the second statement is true though.
A fundamental Islamo-fascist is every bit as dangerous as a fundamental Christo-nazi. Fundamentalism is a growing mental illness in the world.
I’ve always said “not all Muslims are terrorist but most terrorists are Muslims.”
No, not all child molesters are Catholic priests. That’s like saying all Germans are Nazis.
really, neither statement is correct. There are even Christian terrorists in Ireland–ever heard of the IRA?
But generally, the Muslim terrorists are the most widely known.
Not all terrorists are muslims. Christians who kill abortion doctors are terrorists.
The Muslim thing is true, but have you seen a Christian do a Suicide bombing, they run in there and say,’FOR JESUS!!!!!” No cause Jesus already died so we don’t have to. Plain and simp.
Both are impossible,.. any religion can hate and rape… even a family member can hate and terrorize you.
it depends on how you define terrorist. If the definition is “a muslim that tries to spread Islam through violence,” then of course all of them will be muslims.
No you are 1% wrong. Heck the U.S. military are considered terrorist by Iraqi’s and Afghans
It is hard to believe the level of ignorance that can be brought about by government schooling!
A terrorist Catholic, putting a bomb in your childs pants.

My thoughts.
Neither statement is even close to being true.
lol – yea – the uni-bomber was so muslim.
Our policy should be: shoot moslems at sight.
Sigh, both make me sad.. Just stop the hate.. God is LOVE folks..
