Islam does not have an exclusive corner on that definition.
We can go back as far as anyone wants to find religion as a basis of random killing. Henry the Eighth formed his own church as an excuse for bad behavior.
Hitler carried an aberration of Christianity before he gave up religion completely when he decided to kill randomly. And, of course, his SCAPEGOAT to justify his killing were protestants in the beginning and then ultimately in mass numbers Jews.
So, when one wants to isolate a religion that justifies killing they have to be very careful.
We know for a fact there has been religious hazing at the US Air Force Academy by Evangelicals.
There is nothing within the Muslim faith that acts to radicalize it's members. If that were the case, then Indonesia would not exist.
What exists on the internet and in Jihadi networks are PLANS to overthrow civilization and instill a radical authoritarianism masked as a religion. The Taliban are not an ethnicity, they are a militarized entity easily akin to The Third Reich. Taliban is not an ethnicity. There is NO genetic basis for being Taliban. They have no homeland rights in Afghanistan or Pakistan. They are a military society. Same goes for al Qaeda. They have no ethnic basis and have no sovereign claim to a homeland.
These are military entities that seek to destabilize sovereign countries to replace freedom with oppression. Oppressing the impoverished is an easy thing to do, especially when the oppressors use the pillars of Islam as a mainstay to their oppression. It is not the fault of any Muslim that the Taliban, al Qaeda or Somali radicals use the faith as an excuse to seek power.
Any faith can radicalize a man or woman. Islam is not exclusive to that outcome.
The violence that occurs in the USA is an American phenomena dictated by a culture of violence.
The USA culture of violence is deadly to Americans because of the AVAILABILITY of the weapons.
These idiots always want to save civilization from itself. They want to oppress and seek some kind of greater justice. It has nothing to do with religion, it is about SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS and power.
