Does religion make Muslims more violent?

[utraash]

Imagine you are living in the West, but you are originally or your closest ancestors are from India. Now NATO (Western Forces) try invading India for whatever reason. What should you do? Just sit by and watch? LOL

Good point ...
But in that case I will never ever ditch a country which has sheltered me though the same country is involved in killing the ppl of my own ancestors land.... However I will protest in peaceful manner n let awake more ppl to join me in my effort to raise our voice collectively in more humane n effective manner.....

India is the west.
China is the west.
Myanmar is the west.
Russia is the west.
Indonesia is west.
Nigeria is the west.
Syria is the west.
Iraq is the west.
PAKISTAN IS THE WEST.

China is east, reason for terrorism there? Persecution of Uyghur people who happened to be Muslims
Myanmar is east, reason for terrorism there? Persecution of Rohingya people who happened to be Muslims
Russia is both east and west, reason for terrorism there? Persecution of Chechen people who happened to be Muslims
Indonesia is east and is not currently facing any terrorism spree of any kind.
Nigeria is not West but they have a long history of communal violence between Christians and Muslims, just like India
Syria is no West, but hey they have many year long political civil war going on over there
Iraq? LOL. All you need to do is study history of Iraq before US intervention
Pakistan? No comments (See Islamization of Pakistan during Zia regime)

I am not saying they are the true followers, only they BELIEVE they are

They believe it so much that they don't even need to know anything about the religion and get heart attacks of joy when they're about to go meet their God

There were millions of peaceful people on the streets before Iraq invasion! I get you understand that democracy doesn't always work in front of military industrial complex

What Nuff said? These creative works do not prove anything. Middle East has been in turmoil ever since US led invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. 9/11 attacks in turn were response to continuous US armed presence in the Middle East.

Why would NATO operate out side its defined region? Soldier should educate himself about the NATO area of operation at the time of his appointment and stick to it. If NATO doesn't stick to its set of instructions than its same as Iran Revolution Guards... without rules and regulations and soldiers are nothing but bunch of mercenaries, killing humans for some salary and allowance.

I think I have comprehensively refuted your claim that Islamic terrorism is only West centric.

It is not. It is spread across the world. And is spread nearly wherever there is any significant muslim population.

Are you saying that wherever in the world muslims live, they are persecuted?

Or could there be something more to it than what you are trying to very simplistically portray?

 

[Norwegian]

Persecution of muslims .....

No, communal violence. Persecution is different than communal violence. In 80's communal violence erupted between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland with waves of terrorist attacks against both sides. Were they Muslims?

 

[Bossman]

I am not saying they are the true followers, only they BELIEVE they are

So the only true Muslims are followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed?

What about Bangladesh ?

 

[Norwegian]

Its West centric. Although terrorist attacks do happen against the Chinese, Burmese or other Eastern nations, but main targets of Islamist terrorists are still Western.

So the only true Muslims are followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed?

How would I know? ALL Islamic sects claim to be the "true" Muslims anyway

'Nuff said' my arse.

A few years ago these same graphs would be pointing towards South and Central/Latin America for all the insurgencies and terrorists operating there, and a few years before that Europe would be the red zone because of the two World Wars, which included countless insurgencies and incidences of terrorism, that took place there.

And that third one was retarded - Iraq is a bloody war zone, what do you expect from it? If you'll label wartime attacks as terrorist incidents of course you'll get those kinds of figures. Same with Afghanistan and some parts of Pakistan that are on its border.

Geopolitical hotspots = terrorist hotspots, regardless of religion.

 

[Norwegian]

What about Bangladesh ?

Islamic radicalism called Jamaat-e-Islami and their extremist version of Islam

They believe it so much that they don't even need to know anything about the religion and get heart attacks of joy when they're about to go meet their God

A believer is a believer. It doesn't mean a believer is a religious scholar

 

[TankMan]

So the only true Muslims are followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed?

No, actually, not at all. Ahmadis are a very tiny minority, not to mention they disagree with one of the basic points of Islam and are not considered Muslims by most - if everyone except them was extremist or violent or whatever, we'd all be dead by now.
