Except Islam and Muslims are connected to all the worst atrocities and behavior all across the world. The only connection between those people is their religion. "Radical Islam" where people blow themselves up is relatively rare, yes, but they have the quiet support of many moderate Muslims... but that's only one part of the story. Then we have the gangrapes (such as in the UK, thousands of girls systematically raped and groomed for rape), over-representation in crime statistics in general, the treatment of women and minorities in their own countries, etc etc. Or just go look at the "moderate Muslim" forums and see what their opinions are like.
It really is like defending Nazism because not all Nazis were throwing jews into ovens. At some point it's time to wake up and smell the coffee and realize the one common denominator of all this 5th century behavior happening everywhere that Islam has spread.

Then there's lack of/inefficient education which is another factor. That radiates back to the religion and changes what it is.
Even the N
azis (the ones that didn't throw jews into ovens) became respectable people after the war when they were shown what they were really doing and how wrong they were. But yeah they had to completely abandon their ideology for sure... You just can't make an organized religion like Islam or Christianity disappear into thin air but you can attempt to nudge it into a better direction. I have no doubt, better education --> less violence, less violent religious people.
Xant explained religion very well (imaginary friend example). Focusing or putting blame on religion means we treat it something worthy of discussion. I fucking don't. It is incredibly backwards way of thinking and should be put to rest. People need to get that shit out of their heads. It is that simple.
Goes for any organized religion, sect or whatever. Nazism included.
That's a nice thought there but let's be realistic... Some people just need their imaginary friends and mass hypnosis or whatever. You can't just press "delete: islam.txt, christianity.txt..."
