Please bare with me as i try my best to answer this. English is not my first language so i do apologize for my grammar.

Islam as a religion is a very conservative religion. Shia, sunni, sufi, or any of the sects. Its by no means a liberal or progressive religion then lets say bahai is or dare i say hindu or buddism is (i admit i dont know much about the last two) but that being said.


If you notice all modern day terrorism that happens OUTSIDE of the middle east is caused by small sect of sunni wahhabi version of islam. This was an ideology created out of saudi arabia in the late 1800s if im not mistake. please note this not excuse any terrorism thats committed by shai or non sunnis. AS THERE certainly have been. Groups like hizbollah for example. The issue though is countries like iran and the groups they sponsor like hizbollah are interested in REGIONAL conflicts. Usually associated with Israel or sunni muslims and the conflicts they have with them. Shai muslims for the most part are not interested in blowing up western targets. its not to say shai's havent used suicide bombers or blown up buses full of women and children. they have. buts its been usually in context of local fighting. certainly martydom is a very big and beautiful idea in islam. it was somethign that was taught to us as a very young age. But consider the london bombings, 9-11, the paris attacks, how many of them involved shia's? Its almost always al quida wahhabi type groups. Why is that?

The best answer i can tell you is that muslims believe mohammed was the seal of the prophets. Meaning he was the last prophet to bring the word of god. So why would you be christian or jew when we have the latest version of windows if you will. So although they believe they have the right religion and are conservative in there view point. A lot of them understand that jews and christians are poeple of the book as well.

NOT isis type groups. See isis type groups see anyone who doesn't believe in the sunni wahhabi version of islam to be going against god. In essence to go against god means you are the devil itself and are to be defeated and killed. To go against god himself is punishable by death. ISIS type groups view themselves as god soilders.. so to go agianst isis MEANS to go against god. Which again is punishable by death.

How do we stop modern day terrorism. Unfortunately we cant. There is a reason im now an agnostic. So for me it was not just rejecting islam but it was rejecting religion in of it self. Unfortunately wether its radical right wing christians, or orthodox jews, or sunni wahhabi muslims. If god calls on them to kill they will.
