It's uncomfortable because of the current reality of the situation. You can speculate as to why Islam has xyz tendency but the reality on the ground doesn't change regardless of what that reason is.

Can there be a more secular Islam? Sure if you water it down and stop taking it so seriously. But thats not how the Muslim world at large approaches it and that's where this clash of values comes from.

Look who's legitimizing violence by explaining what caused it.

Maybe they should check the cartoon censorship policies before allowing France to save their lives. Or stay in Syria since France is so horrific. The nerve of the French: allowing people to draw cartoons! No wonder we’re blaming the French. Cartoons! No one should ever have to see a cartoon they don’t like. The horror.

That's what you get for sponsoring beheadings via exploring motive.

Nah, you specifically caused this whole turn of events by thinking about it. Way to go.

Piss Christ is a pretty fundamentalist Christian piece, which would muddle things.

I mean you get the point.

You could say Roe v Wade is the root cause of anti abortion terrorists. Wouldn't technically be completely untrue but it's disingenous.
