15. In this case it is pretty damn simple

Islam's borders everywhere are very bloody. It's not like other world religions, which have found a way to harmonize (to some extent) the modern world with faith.

I'm sorry, but saying "killing innocents must stop" doesn't address the real rage at the core of the Islamic faith (or at least that of the "Islamic" teachings many are receiving). I'm not saying Muslims are at heart violent because people are inherently decent, but when fed ridiculous notions of religious supremacy from a young age and raised in a culture of repression and bitterness (while religious leaders constantly find ways of blaming others for the lack of progress), bad things happen.

This isn't the first time this will happen and it won't be the last. While Muslims (like people of all faiths worldwide) have various legitimate grievances - the peculiar propensity of Muslims committing violence toward innocents based on religion cannot be brushed aside.
