49. I'm trying to figure out what your point is
If your hypothesis is that if a few individuals of a certain religion commit acts of violence then the entire religion is not about peace, but violence, then you are saying that every single religion is violent. Because every single religion has its fundamentalists that commit violence. Then we need to have a serious discussion about why we aren't trying to eradicate ALL religion on earth.

If your point is the hypothesis only applies to Islam - you need to explain how the exact same behavior in different religions leads to different results. Why is Islam about violence and not Christianity or Hinduism when there are people in those religions that commit violence in the name of god?

If you admit that all religions are violent because a few of its members are - you need to explain why it's helpful or relevant to talk about only one of those religions.

So, which is it? What's your point here?
