I'm Muslim and the problem is not about Islam. Problem is all about the people who want to gain money for themselves. I know a truth that makes sense anytime I remember; everything is related to money or sex in this world. Nothing else matters. Religion is just a tool to manage the money.

> I'm Muslim and the problem is not about Islam. Its time to get our heads out of the sand. Religion is part of the problem whether its Islam or Christianity etc. I agree other factors play a role too. Religion is the best tool to brainwash people.

  Animal rights extremists don't use religion. Right wing extremists don't use religion. Left wing extremists didn't use religion. Radicalisation does not need religion.

    Religion is among the best tools to brainwash people then. If something really makes sense, you don't need people to believe it blindly.

    All of those are ideologies with certain views on how the world is and how it should be, which can also said of religions. If religions where purely spiritual and said nothing about the world then I would agree with you, but then I guess there wouldn't be any problems either.

      Sure, they're like religion. But the claim wasn't religion or things like religion lead to extremism. It's wrong to say that only religion leads to extremism, and it's even more wrong to say that only Islam leads to radicalisation.

        Nobody is saying only religion leads to extremism. When you recognize that I hope you also recognize that religion is the main cause (or tool) of extremism in the world right now, and that Islam plays the biggest role there.
