What radicalizes religion?

Politics, War, poverty etc. not the religion itself
I just said that I agreed that religion was not the precipitating factor. Moderate Buddhism was just an arbitrary choice. So, do you not agree that religion is a legitimate variable in extremist terrorism?

It's incredible that people take a position that boils down to all belief systems are equally menacing.

No, they aren't.

Yes they are if you take history into account. Islam is dominating the headlines right now but Christianity has resulted in 50X, or more, deaths of innocent people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_violence

Let's assume there are a million Islamic Extremests who'd be willing to kill innocents via suicide bombings, planes, hatchets, guns, or brainwashing willing participants, etc.

Thats roughly 0.06% of the people who practice the faith of Islam.

You should stop pissing on a religion when 99.94% of the people who practice the faith are peaceful.

Are you one of those people who'll argue that chihuahuas are as dangerous as pit bulls?

Little dog = Christian. Big dog = Muslims.

Pretty much a lame metaphor?
