Was there a radical Islamist problem 60 years ago? 50? 40? No.

The problem is not within Islam, there are complex geo-political issues at work and religion is a tool used to stir emotions as a call to war. Manipulative leaders use religion to radicalise and gather support for their own political agenda.

Religion itself is neither positive or negative, it's a very personal thing and the fact that different people interpret text differently we can have politicians use that to convey support for a cause. Religion is not really the problem, people are the problem. If there was no religion, people would interpret something else negatively in order to provide legitimacy for their beliefs for example Lenin's manipulation of Marx's theory.

Do you think Muslims in general just hate the west because of ideological reasons alone? :dahell:

Or does their hate stem from illegal invasions, wars and plundering of resources as well as the unwavering support for Israel and tQUOTEoppressive occupation of Palestine?

Saying Islam is the problem is a very simple and lazy perspective that just furthers the "us vs them" narrative of being at war with weird strange sand people who hate the west because of our superior lifestyle and freedom

Good point, the world has gotten smaller and it's much easier for people and ideology to spread. The "peace" I'm talking about is relative because there's always going to be violence in the world,

but the Islamic world was much more stable prior to Western intervention and was the beacon of knowledge throughout the dark ages. Under the Ottoman Empire and after the European divisions which imposed arbitrary borders and destabilised the region aswell as involving them in the Cold War we saw the seeds of the turmoil that would come to fruition today.

What I'm referring to is the fact that there will always be people who manipulate religious doctrines for selfish reasons and from a purely logical perspective NO religion promotes violence against other. The problem lies with people and their interpretations not religion, I mean the guy who killed John Lennon justified it by reading the Catcher in the Rye.
And this too

If you got rid of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and all religions the world would still be fukked up because of people. Two of the biggest mass murderers were atheists (Stalin and Mao). Albania during its communist period in the 20th century went about suppressing religion in a extreme matter. Get rid of religion and wars will still be waged over what it really boils down to, land/resources.

This shyt started with israel. But i cant sympathize with the palestineans cause history tells us the conquerers write the history and have the rights. Wether we like it or not, palestine was "conquered" and it is no longer what it was; ie just like its changed hands for thousanda of years. They have a right to fight for it back but the people who cry and say it was stolen from them... Well welcome to the world and that lands history. shyts literally been stolen by another people a dozen times.

And yes. Islam is a problem.

50 killed in Florida nightclub, shooter pledged ISIS allegiance

50 killed in Florida nightclub, shooter pledged ISIS allegiance - CNN.com


Orlando shooting suspect Omar Mateen was interviewed by the FBI in 2013 and 2014, FBI Assistant Special Agent Ronald Hopper told reporters Sunday. "Those interviews turned out to be inconclusive, so there was nothing to keep the investigation going," Hopper said. Mateen was not under investigation at the time of Sunday's shooting and was not under surveillance, Hopper said.
