Brent, Jesus people don't become murdering martyr's anymore, so let's focus
where the problem is. Look at Nigeria, Sudan, Syria,a and Iraq, and draw
together the facts. If it was Buddhists setting off bombs in subways' one could
concede your point. Also, I am not a Jesus person, and don't hate em. If ya
want to beat up JC why not this quote, "I come not to bring peace but with a
sword." And the Christians surely did, right into the 20th century, but no
longer.
This is naive. Bandits do lucrative criminal acts to get money which can
purchase goods, luxury, women, power. So why do suppose that no one uses
religion to get goods, luxury, women, power,..? You just want to excuse
religion and blame it all on some "criminal acts". What is a crime is
often defined by religion and it often includes questioning the priesthood
and the official dogma. So the problem is not just "radical Islam"; it is
any Islam, and any religion, which has a dogma and requires belief in that
dogma to avoid sanctions and punishment in this life or a putative
afterlife...that is to say 90% of all religions.
