They maybe Kikuyus, Merus and Kisii but they are recent converts to Islam. The doctrine being used to radicalise them is from the Koran. Slay the infidel. If as a nation we can’t accept such a simple truth we are far from solving terrorism.
The ultimate goal of ISIS & Alshabab from their words is to establish a muslim caliphate. Other than theorize on causes of terror, how about we believe the executors.
Suicide bombing and terrorism are in themselves investments in an afterlife in line with the dogmatic religious beliefs. Think about the 72 virgins.
A blanket attack on muslim would be islamophobic but attacking a set of beliefs is part of free thinking and should not be construed as hate. Phobia is irrational fear but there is a lot to be genuinely fearful of islam. To this end I blame not muslims but a radical version of islam but moderates have a duty to denounce the radicals.
This particular verse has a periodical context, it was revealed addressing a particular group of people at a particular time, some “Muslims” use it today to radicalize some reverts.
There’s no radical version of Islam, the interpretation of Islam is what could be radical.
There are 2 people on earth who describe our view of religion. one believes there are 299,999 Cults another believes there are 300,000 Cults. Tafakario_O
It’s all good to believe in something, to most of the human population that gives life purpose. The knowledge that there is more to life than just working and paying bills even the oppressed have some comfort that at one point they will be avenged and or at least find joy in paradise.
With that said, I think it is extremely stupid for a person who was just born yesterday with the world having been around since who knows when, get breast fed, poop in diapers then one day this person starts rebuking other peoples beliefs or worst still goes about bombing and killing in the name of what he knows is the gospel truth. That is just stupid.
Saudi Arabia sponsors building of mosques all around the world. And the form of Islam allowed in this mosques is Sunni in its salafist/wahabbi version.
Muslims cannot explain why terrorists are exclusively from their religion. Have you ever heard of a crazy Presbyterian or Lutheran killing non adherents? It hasn’t happened at least in my lifetime.
Muslims can dance around the issue and misuse the word “because” but will not convince you or give you a satisfactory answer.
Terrorism is killing based on ideology and the Ideology here is the religion of Islam.
And to know how intolerant Islam is, they do not allow non Muslims to enter the city of Mecca. It doesn’t matter if you’re as innocent as a 5 year old child who cannot do any harm to anybody.
