Terrorism has traditionally been a common weapon for most religions at some point in history. It lends itself to fanaticism.

However, if a billion people really were completely flat out bonkers as some claim, the world would pretty much cease to exist.

It only took 19 to murder 3000 on 911.

They all dont have to be bonkers. They all are just one "sermon" away from becoming mohamicidal mass murderers though.

How many do you think could be murdered by just one muslime with a suitcase nuke? How many with 19 muslimes with suitcase nukes?

Oh but we should respect their religion, even if it will poisons the earth, and wipes out freedom for generations to come. Because some of them are rationally sane. You have a good point there.

In some respects this is true. But, I don't agree all religions naturally lend themselves to terrorism. In the case of Christianity, for example, it is the misreading and ignorance of Scripture which may lead to fanaticism because of some (ignorant or otherwise) who purposefully lead the ignorant astray.

However, in the case of Islam, it is the literal rendering of the Koran and other Muslim scriptures themselves which leads to wholesale fanaticism, murder, slavery, and forced conversion to Islam.

There is a BIG difference here.

The fact all Muslims don't engage in terrorism or Jihad against the Infidel is not because they are religiously following their own scriptures. It's just the opposite. They are ignoring them, for whatever reason.
