Brent, Jesus people don't become murdering martyr's anymore,
Well there are those who murder abortion doctors. But "lucrative criminal acts" includes a
lot more than murderous martydom. The Catholic Church has probably condemned more
children to starvation by outlawing contraception than the Islamist ever will.

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.
