Quote from: Cerulean Boy on November 15, 2015, 06:13:46 AMIS claims to be Muslims, but they're in the minority and twists the Quran to their own goals. Similar to how the KKK aren't "real Christians". While I don't think Muslims by themselves were the primary target, I wouldn't be surprised if there are Muslim victims in the attacks. IS aims for terror, and everyone who isn't with them is an enemy. That includes Muslims, Christians, Atheists, and so on.While a majority of terrorists claims to be Muslim, that doesn't necessarily mean Islam is a causation. The middle east is an unstable region, and there's many factors at play. Many terrorists come from this region, and many people who live in this region are also Muslims. But keep in mind that the absolute majority are peaceful civilians. While you could say that the Quran has "violent" text in it, the same can be said about the Bible. There's also parts of the Quran that forbids violence, and people who try to justify their actions with it are simply cherry-picking the parts that align with their goals, and ignoring other parts.Religion isn't a cause, it's an excuse. Wicked people will be wicked.You disgrace your dead cousin.
