Can somebody give me the names of "Christian" Terrorists groups, past or present?
I'm not trying to offend, or asking a loaded question, I just need to know some "Christian" terrorist events or groups...
*quotation marks are there to let the Christians of this forum know that I know that you guys don't consider anybody who is a terrorist a real Christian so please don't flame with things like "no real christians are terrorists!!!"...

I think the IRA (Irish Republican Army) would count. They've "officially" disbanded, since the Belfast agreement, but basically they were an Irish Nationalist and Catholic terrorist organisation, seeking to unite Ireland under Catholicism and away from the British crown.

He almost definitely is. Lieberman has continuously been an enthusiastic supporter of AIPAC. in certainty, in the process the Congressional hearings with Gen. Patraeus's report on Iraq, it replaced into Lieberman himself, no longer the pro-Iraq profession conservatives, that spoke of the subject of growing to be a third front interior the conflict on Terror (tm) by skill of unilaterally surprising Iran. i do no longer think of naming IRGC as a terrorist entity itself constitutes a "announcement of conflict," in spite of the shown fact that it certainly enables lay the beginning place for construction a case against the Iranian regime.

The LRA in Uganda comes quickly to mind and yes they are far from being Christians. And I believe Timothy McVeigh was associated with (if not a member of) a pseudo-christian cult called Christian Identity.

THE IRA IS NOT A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION! They fought for a united Ireland, not for religion!
Just because they were Irish doesn't mean they were fighting in the name of religion!
As far as people calling the Catholic Church terrorists...when was the last time they killed someone? When....
And about the neutrality bullshit...what were they supposed to do? Throw their bibles at the Nazis? YEAH CAUSE THAT WOULD KILL SOMEONE!
And I agree with the Fred Phelps thing.

The entire Catholic Church during the Inquisition
Templar Knights
Ku Klux Klan
Irish Republican Army
Westboro Baptist Church
That's just off the top of my head.

Well, if I might be permitted to play Devil's Advocate, I have to disagree about Fred Felch and his Westboro Baptist Cult. I don't think they're terrorists. Unmitigated scum, definitely. But not actually terrorists. They've never actually killed anyone, tho' we all know they would if they thought they could get away with it.

The first one that pops into my head is the KKK. There are also some people who think they are doing God's work by shooting abortion doctors, although thankfully they are not organized enough to be a terrorist organization.

usually it's a problem to say Muslim Terrorist or Christian Terrorist since individuals commit crimes, not a religion
religions, however, create or foster the mentality for narrowmindedness and creates the justifications for murder, terror and invasions
I will say that after 9/11 our abortion clinic terrorist bombers (also fundamental and christian based groups) have taken it down a notch and laid low since
