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?
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
