10 Non-Islamic Terrorist Organisations


10. Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias De Colombia (FARC)
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia

Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias De Colombia

From 1964 this leftist guerrilla organization has been involved in the Colombian Civil War. FARC is the militant wing of the Colombian Communist Party. FARC claims to represent the poor people of rural Colombia and has around 7,000 to 10,000 active members including child soldiers. The group is notoriously known for using landmines and is held responsible for the death of 460 soldiers and thousands of civilians. FARC funds itself through illicit drug production and distribution, kidnap for ransom, illegal mining & extortion.


9. Revolutionary Struggle / Epanastatikos Agonas (EA)

EA is a Greek militant group that has been active since 2003. The group is infamous for their anarchist and anti-globalization views and are known for attacking government buildings, major banks, business institutions, police stations and the American embassy in Athens. They seek to bring a revolution in Greece.


8. Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA)

Primarily operating in Spain and France ETA is a Basque nationalist and separatist organization founded in 1958 to promote Basque culture with the goal of establishing an independent Basqueland. ETA is accused of committing attacks on politicians, judges, journalists, businessmen, and tourists, killing over 829 people. The group’s best work was the assassination of President Luis Carrero Blanco. ETA had also made assassination attempts on Prime Minister José María Aznar and King Juan Carlos. Over the years owing to their notoriety the group is said to have been losing sympathy of its supporters.


7. Shining Path / Sendero Luminoso

Shining Path is a communist guerrilla group in Peru formed in 1980. Their aim is to overthrow the Peruvian government and establish a Marxist government in its place. Though the group mainly draws its support from peasants they also often lead violent attacks on peasants whom they suspect of supporting the government. They therefore are responsible for carrying out numerous brutal massacres and running labour camps. There have been reported 31,000 deaths and disappearances related to Shining Path’s conflict with the Peru government. But since the arrest of its leader Abimael Guzman in 1992, the Shining Path has declined in activity.


6. Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA)


An offshoot of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), RIRA’s main goal was to unite Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Before RIRA’s leaders were arrested in 2001, the groups had committed several terrorist activities in the UK and Republic of Ireland mainly targeting British military and Northern Ireland police force. RIRA’s best notorious work is the bombing of Omagh (a town) in 1998, killing 29 people and injuring 220 others therefore making it the deadliest terrorist incident in Northern Ireland’s history.

5. Ulster Defense Association (UDA)


In Northern Ireland a loyalist militant organization was founded in 1971 with the objective of protecting Protestants from Catholics. UDA vehemently opposes uniting Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland and is responsible for 259 deaths, mostly Catholics. Also known as the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) UDA’s most recognised terrorist attack was the massacre of Greysteel, a predominantly Catholic village, in 1993. The UDA/UFF declared ceasefire in 1994 but continued violent attacks until an armed campaign in 2007 officially ended it.


4. New People’s Army (NPA)

Formed in 1969 NPA is the Communist Party of the Philippines’s armed wing. It operates in rural areas and commits heinous crimes. The group advocates left wing people’s revolution ideology. The NPA has allegedly been involved in a prison raid, attacks on mining sites, attacks on the military, the police, and even government informers. They justify their actions saying they are in defense of the poor but NPA has a reputation of committing violence and extortion on the same poor people. In 1989, the NPA assassinated the U.S. Army Colonel James “Nick” Rowe who was assisting a military program of the Philippine Army. Till date 40,000 lives has been lost in the conflict between the NPA and government forces.


3. Aum Shinrikyo

Aum Shinrikyo is a Japanese cult organisation established on the mixed philosophical beliefs of Christianity, yoga, Nostradamus’s prophecies, and various conspiracy theories by Shoko Asahara in 1984. The terrorist group is known to carrying out brainwashing sessions on its members using electric shocks, LSD et al. The group has around 40,000 worldwide members with 9,000 members residing in Japan. Aum Shinrikyo gained international prominence in 1995 with their sarin gas attack in the Tokyo subway system, successfully killing 13 commuters and injuring several more. Their purpose was to bring apocalypse.


2. Kahane Chai

An Israeli political party, Kach was founded by the infamous Meir Kahane in 1971. Following Kahane’s assassination, Kahane Chai broke away from the main Kach fraction in 1991. It was a far right political party that advocated extreme Jewish supremacy and was responsible for spreading racism towards Arabs. The party had been accused of many notorious works like bombing girls’ school, conspiring & assassinating. The Kahane Chai had demonstrated open support for Baruch Goldstein – a Jewish man who killed 29 Palestinians in 1994 following which the party was banned by the Israeli government in the same year.


1. Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA)

Founded in 1987, the LRA is a militant cult that operates in Uganda, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic. Their self-proclaimed objective is to bring peace and prosperity in Uganda, however LRA is accused of widespread human rights violations including murder, abduction, mutilation, child sex slavery and making soldiers out of children. Between September 2008 and July 2011, the group has allegedly killed more than 2,300 people, abducted more than 3,000, and displaced over 400,000 across Central Africa.

Myanmar’s Buddhist terrorism problem


On Feb. 11, Myanmar’s President Thein Sein rescinded a voting rights offer to the country’s Rohingya community amid intense pressure from far-right Buddhist groups. Last week hundreds of Buddhists took to the streets to denounce the continuation of a 2010 law that extended the right to vote to the country’s more than 1 million ethnic Rohingya. Myanmar does not regard the minority group as citizens.

The violence directed toward the Muslim Rohingya community has been characterized in the media as Buddhism’s terrorism problem. However, the faith-based portrayal of the Rohingya crisis devalues the political and social nuances necessary to understanding the conflict.

The ‘Burmese bin Laden’

The Rohingya are one of the most persecuted groups in the world. Stripped of citizenship in the 1980s, the Rohingya have been a subject of frequent racist propaganda and blistering violence. For years numerous human rights organizations have documented the persecution of the Rohingya in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine state. The community continues to live under constant threats, with few legal rights.

The campaign against the Rohingya and Muslims in Myanmar is spearheaded by controversial monk Ashin Wirathu. Once referred to as the “Burmese bin Laden,” he is the leader of an ultranationalist group called 969, which opposes the growth of Islam in Myanmar. He was jailed in 2003 for inciting hatred and stirring sectarian clashes and released in 2010.

Wirathu has warned against an impending Muslim takeover of Myanmar. In 2012 the rape of a Buddhist woman in northern Rakhine led to violent attacks that left dozens of civilians dead and more than 125,000 Rohingya and other Muslims displaced. Human Rights Watch described the humanitarian crisis as “ethnic cleansing.”

Myanmar’s government and local authorities have long been complicit in the violence against the Rohingya and other minority groups. “Burmese officials, community leaders and Buddhist monks organized and encouraged ethnic Arakanese backed by state security forces to conduct coordinated attacks on Muslim neighborhoods and villages in October 2012 to terrorize and forcibly relocate the population,” HRW said in a detailed report in 2013. “Included in the death toll were 28 children who were hacked to death, including 13 under age 5. ”

Wirathu justified the violence saying the Rohingya were planning to establish an Islamic state in Rakhine. He has since urged non-Muslims to boycott Muslim shops and avoid doing business with Muslims. “Your purchases spent in their shops will benefit the enemy,” Wirathu said in a 2013 YouTube video. “So do business with only shops with 969 signs.”

Here are 8 Christian Terrorist Organizations That Equal ISIS


The right-wing is quick to condemn all of Islam like it’s a singular entity, and hold every Muslim accountable for the actions of a handful bad apples. As I’ve often said, no one religion — not even Buddhism — has the “right” to claim they’re non-violent. Holy War is one of those things that cuts across all religions equally. And while you can point this out to right-wingers, they won’t listen: they’re quick to invoke Boko Haram, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Al-Sheebab, or some other terrorist agency and pretend they’re the sum total of all Muslims.

Well, there are Christian terrorist agencies that are just as scary, and some of them just as bad if not worse, than ISIS. A few of these you may have heard of, but since our so-called “liberal media” gets cold feet at naming Christian Terrorism what it is, some of them slip under the radar or aren’t as associated with Christian terrorism as they should be in the popular imagination.

8. Lord’s Resistance Army
Active: 1980s-Present, about 30 years
Who are they? The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a Christian Fundamentalist terrorist group originally from Uganda, but now active in the Sudan, the Central African Republic, and other places. Uganda, you may remember, is a hotbed of Christian Fundamentalism, so it makes sense that a group who calls themselves “Christianist” would come from the country. The LRA surfaced in the popular conscious sometime ago when Joesph Kony suddenly became a meme on the internet; up to that point, their main claim to fame is child sex slaves and children soldiers. Indeed, the LRA is known to orchestrate kidnappings, railroading young boys into fighting while forcing young girls into sexual slavery. Those who refused to fight were hacked to pieces. The young girls are forced to be “brides” for the soldiers, and thus helping to spread HIV. They’re especially brutal towards civilians, as well, wiping out entire villages and attacking refugee camps.
The goal of the LRA is pretty straight froward: they want a Bible-based state that uses the Ten Commandments as guide posts. That’s something any right-wing politician or Christianist can sympathize with, right?

7. Ku Klux Klan
Active: 1860s-Present, 149 years
Who are they? These guys don’t need any introduction; every American knows who the Invisible Empire is. The Klan name probably comes from the Ancient Greek ‘κύκλος‘ (kuklos), which means “circle.” There’s a frightening overlap between White Supremacist ideology and Christian terrorism in the Western World, and the Klan is the tip of that iceberg. There’ve actually been three Klans; the first one was formed in 1865, in Pulaski, and drew on former members of the Confederacy Army. They were a vigilante group, and they wore the sheets as a reminder of their fellow Confederates who died (think the classic “sheet ghost” and you’re not far off). Everything about the Klan is geared towards terrorism and psychological war, from the uniform to the cross burning. And while it’s true the Klan got their start as an arm of the Democratic Party, it was back when the Republicans were Theodore Roosevelt and not Sarah Palin, so I dare you to tell a modern Klansman they voted for Barack Obama.
While the Klan started out hunting down and terrorizing freemen and women, that wasn’t their sole target. The Klan is a far right-wing Protestant organization, and being a Protestant organization, they hate Catholics. As a result, Klan has targeted both Catholics and Jews in the (not-so-distant) past. The KKK’s history is so violent, in fact, that many draw a comparison between the KKK and Al Qaeda, although I think that’s an unfair comparison, as I’ll explain below.

6. National Liberation Front of Tripura
Active: 1989 to present, about 30 years
Who are they? You’ve probably heard of the Lord’s Resistance Army and the KKK, but this is a group that I’m pretty sure you haven’t, unless you’re from India. It’s easy for us to forget, as Americans, just how big India is; it’s far more diverse than Europe is, culturally speaking, and it’s roughly the same size. It’s called the “world’s largest democracy” for a reason, but as the United States shows, no democracy is without it’s secessionists. And these folks are just some of the many secessionist organizations in India.
According to their manifesto, the NLFT wants ” to expand the kingdom of God and Christ in Tripura,” and often does so at the point of a gun. They threatened anyone celebrating the Hindu Festival of Durga Puja with death, and are backed by a Baptist Church that’s selling them arms. They’ve orchestrated at least two massacres, and used rape as a tool of intimidation. While the Nayanbasi faction has been shut down, the Biswamohan faction has promised to fight on. So here we have a Christian terrorist group spreading their faith in India “by sword,” metaphorically, and at the point of a gun more prosaically — small wonder we haven’t heard anything about them in the West, huh?

Most of us are mostly concerned about terrorist attacks and threats to the West , these come overwhelmingly from Muslims. I dont think theres any argument as to that.

I think that's enough to be getting on with. Anyone feel free to sing out if you want some more. There's plenty of readily available information.

Shame on anybody who still think all terrorists are Muslims.
