It makes people more ready to accept easy answers when they're desperate.

I assume we more or less agree on this, but I constantly see people stop at disagreeing with Islamaphobia, and then leaving the rest of the issue untouched, which is kind of annoying.

I just said that I agreed that religion was not the precipitating factor. Moderate Buddhism was just an arbitrary choice. So, do you not agree that religion is a legitimate variable in extremist terrorism?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_violence Let's assume there are a million Islamic Extremests who'd be willing to kill innocents via suicide bombings, planes, hatchets, guns, or brainwashing willing participants, etc. Thats roughly 0.06% of the people who practice the faith of Islam. You should stop pissing on a religion when 99.94% of the people who practice the faith are peaceful.
