caribny posted:.caribny, Kaz is making a distinction between the religion and the bad people who inhabit it. Don't miss that point.
When the decent majority of Islam remove the ability of these elements to "represent" Islam then we move to a solution of the problem, which can only be solved by Islam.
Did Islam create the mess in Iraq, Libya, or Syria? You have nailed it with your other points, but think that all of the solutions is within Islam which obviously is not.
The issue we face today is not with Islam itself, but with the political system which leads to socio-economic issues.
Once you disconnect the two, you will see the real problems.
We are all over ISIS about their brutality, but totally ignore the same from the house of Saud (which you did point out). We even line up to supply them with more weapons to cause more mayhem.
We need to stop the hypocrisy.
