Certainly looking at an expanse of history there have been groups besides Muslims who have used violence to advance themselves...and some may have been applauded for their beliefs.

However, I refer to an ideology which has exclusively pushed forward an agenda which is grounded and fueled in violence against non muslims.

My statement stands.

Islam = violence

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Now I would say it Islam > jihad > violence. (> read as implies)

But what I was responding to was only Islam = Terrorism.

Until Islam does not imply jihad read in the way today’s salafis read it, it will always be victim of Islam > jihad > violence. That would take some mighty hard reformation since it’s a very clear in their religious texts that jihad can and logically, counting on your pov, be interpreted this way. This will always come back to haunt them.

I wouldn’t hold my breath.
