Interesting numbers, but murders by various leaders under the guise of some religion aren’t always classified as terrorism. Putin is always trying to anoint himself as some sort of principled Christian leader, does that mean his invasion of Ukraine is necessarily just? How many tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands are dead, as a result? Are those deaths on the hands of honest God fearing Christians? I would think not. What about all the deaths of innocents in Gaza, many being children, are all those deaths justifiable as self defense of Jews? Not in my mind. Obviously, many would disagree, as this exact debate is fracturing the Republican Party, right now.
But I believe that Jesus taught us that every life is valuable, and should be respected just as we respect ourselves. If you have a problem with a leader, or a sect such as ISIS, who is causing unjust death, and misery, then your main issue is with that leader, or sect, not with every person who is affiliated with the overall religion in some way. Focus on who is who, and not condemnation of all, if you want to see positive change.
