Yeah, and they vote for conservative politicians... you know... as opposed to self detonating in a crowded market yelling allah Akbar. Whats your point?
My point is you've got how many billions of muslims worldwide? And of those how many are suicide bombers?
You draw an oversimplified cause and effect line between a religion and violence - one begets the other. You completely ignore other relevant realities.
Christianity has a bloody violent history. What changed it? A magical code of peace and love? Bull****. Civilization, humanism, the Enlightenment, living under a secular government and system of law that protects the rights of individuals. What are the economic demographics and political realities of the most of the countries with majority Christian populations vs. Muslim? Do you think it's something beyond just religion that's the problem here?
Religion is just the language.
And the peace spoken of in the koran is for Muslims living in the Islamic caliphate. And its peaceful because the Christians and jews "pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection" and the idolators have been converted or killed. Yeah! freakin Islam is all about peace.
Where does it say that in the Koran?
