That is to say, the threats come from both extreme ideologies. Most terrorist groups believe they are doing God's work. However, this is far from the truth. As a matter of fact, it is anything except godly to murder innocent people.
"Now let's do the thought experiment in which instead of shouting "Heil Hitler" after he was arrested, the suspect had shouted "Allahu Akbar." Only two days before the first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, this simple switch of words would surely have greatly increased the extent and type of coverage the incident received.(2)."
Terrorist groups, no matter what their affiliation happens to be, they need to be taken seriously.
