Far from it....it's the
terrorism that's the problem, not their religion....
To focus on a mainstream religion because of the actions of their extremists is a little short-sighted, I think.
Blaming the
terrorists is what needs to be focused on, which is something that the other (non-terrorist) billion-ish muslims are doing, and seeing them as fundamentalist extremists, rather than your regular everyday 'Ahmed'.
Both the regular muslims and the extremist militia both take the koran as 'gospel' (as it were) but do they believe the same thing and act the same way?
To emphasize this ridiculous generalization, I'll suggest that the Pope, Jim Jones, KKK, and Ian Paisley are/were christian extremists, have very different belief systems, and have very little in common with either the pilot of the bomber flying over the Middle East, or the guy who ordered the mission (as both are likely to be Judeo-Christian).
So let's not label them by their religion, eh?, but by their actions...
Muslims take the teachings of the Koran as guidance in their day-to-day lives.
Fundamentalists take the ancient texts and treat them literally, and as a group can be 'manipulated' by outsiders with a political/business interest (oil or arms manufacturers, politicians, for example).
