John Iadarola (https://twitter.com/jiadarola) and Jimmy Dore (https://twitter.com/jimmy_dore) filling in for Cenk Uygur(http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discuss the Christian terrorist groups that no one is talking about.
'Terrorism is usually something that is thought to involve far away desert caves, bearded Islamic believing Arab men with AK-47s, and maybe a camel to balance out the feng shui. However, despite this stereotype there are a number of terrorist groups operating around the globe and even within the United States that identify as Christian in their faith according to a report released by the Southern Poverty Law Center that covered these groups from early 2009 to early 2015. These groups can be found in almost any area of the planet and are usually militant in nature, well armed, and have committed terrible acts of torture and murder against their fellow man, because Jesus Christ was all about love but cognitive dissonance isn't always a high priority for some people.'

What is Terror?Terrorism is the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror among masses of people. With aim to create fear to achieve a financial, political, religious or ideological aim. It is used in this regard primarily to refer to violence against peacetime targets or in war against non-combatants. The terms "terrorist" and "terrorism" originated during the French Revolution of the late 18th century but gained mainstream popularity during the U.S. presidency of Ronald Reagan (1981-89) after the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings and again after the 2001 September 11 attacks. There is no commonly accepted definition of "terrorism". Being a charged term, with the connotation of something "morally wrong", it is often used, both by governments and non-state groups, to abuse or denounce opposing groups.
