Religious terrorism does not differ in method from secular terrorism

Evidence

Violent means present a special moral dilemma for religious terrorists because killing innocent people to advance a cause is sacrilege. However, the notion that religious terrorism differs from secular terrorism in its methods is mistaken. Throughout the long history of sacred terror, religious terrorists have sanctified violence. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2234
