Thought of an analogy that might help separate the issues.

Guns are a tool that serves the purpose of its user. Whether it's to take a life or save one for instance. Guns can create a common bond and were important in enforcing order when civilization got a bit rocky. When a person uses a gun to kill a bunch of people, most rationale people blame the person who use a gun in a way that 99.9% of others never would. That person was probably crazy. After all, you know a bunch of people with guns and they would never do that. Hell, you have a gun and you'd never do that!

Replace the word gun in the sentence above, with religion. OH SHI-

For the record, I think religion is pretty silly. I've seen it do good and harm. The good correlates pretty exactly with wealth, health, and opportunity. I wonder if there are places where there is less of that...

Watch that **** in action right here
How did islam spread into Medina, into Mecca? How did islam spread across northern Africa, throughout the Middle East or into India? Well if you learn about islam you would know that in the first twenty minutes there was always a militaristic side to it. Even before you get past the first two minutes you should be already familiar with the genocide of the Banu Qurayza.

The video doesn't say the environment encourages terrorism, in fact it mentions at least one of the encourager by name, al-Baghdadi.

Also, don't confuse "Muslim" with "Islam" - which is it that you seem to have a problem with?
I understand the difference.

Great posts riseagainstrocks.

The racism in this thread by a few is sickening.

Here we go throwing the word racism out there again. Racism seems to have lost it's meaning nowadays. I forgot America is full of people who roll up in horses with white pointy hats bearing shotguns ready to lynch people they don't like. I guess perfectly mainstream opinions are regarded as racist, which is a shame. Lefties love to make up these so-called "racist" villains out of thin air when there really any to be found as far as I can tell.

And this is coming from a pretty privileged young male Beaner.

The beer I'm drinking doesn't have as high of an alcohol content as ones I've had before. Therefore the beer I'm drinking does not have any alcohol.

There was a time decades ago when racism was absolutely mainstream. And absolutely accepted. I grew up in that time. You call it a shame that it's no longer acceptable?

Really?

Muslim = Terrorist

That's ****ing racism 101. Grow the **** up and learn how to look at the world's problems with complex glasses.

I have many Muslim friends. **** you for stereotyping them.

Nothing personal JTF. These types of attitudes just unnerve me in a very bad way.
