6. here is a perspective of terrorists from the Tibetans
to paraphrase.. 'They are just people who are suffering that want to be happy. but use unskillful means to achieve happiness. those unskillful means end up creating more suffering.

there are always variables and i didn't get into them .. just the essence.

Skillful means are acquired thru meditation..

A very important element unknown to most westerners, is that Islam never had an 'Age of Reason', they do not use reason, they use guidance from the Koran.

of course there are moderates like the Moors i lived with in Senegal, they weren't uptight about it.. they were more like Unitarians.. most that i met were not into it much at all..
