Religious extremism always leads to problems and violence, same for radical Islam, radical Judaism or radical Christianism. Is always easy to just blame the other side and pretend that your side is the right one and has justifiable reason for committing atrocities, but that is the easy way and will never bring to peace, only to more violence and war. Don't matter what you want to blame, it will never justify torturing and mass murdering unarmed innocent civilians.
Discussion
It’s not the same. It’s not symmetric with Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc. The radical branches of Islam are currently much more dangerous and don’t have a serious opposition from within, nor the self-criticism to admit that political Islam leads to chaos followed by totalitarianism. Consider this as a new viking religion. It’s incompatible with lasting peace with other faiths, just like communism is incompatible with accumulation of private capital.
It’s not an “Arab Spring” or “Bangladeshi democratic uprising” or “Yemenite freedom fighters”.
Well, I guess we won't agree, but at least in here we can discuss about this subject in a civilized way, I don't know if it would be possible somewhere else on the internet.
