"What terrorists in recent decades are likely to have been influenced by pastors or rabbis?"

As you well know, KAoH - or, at least, you SHOULD well know - a key aim of terrorism is to cause the majority within a society to blame, persecute and victimise a minority (who the terrorists claim to represent) within that society so that members of the minority become alienated and more easily radicalised. I'm sure that the Independent's correspondent, Mr James, was well aware of that and was trying to be even-handed. I'm sure that we could come up with examples of Christian and Jewish terrorists if we put our minds to it.

I agree with Mr James and Steve - lying to children is a bad thing to do. Our culture is far too respectful to religion and it needs to get a much rougher ride and be forced to justify itself and its attitudes and behaviour.
