Blame zealotry, not Islam

[Augustus]

7. Enough with this old canard

Religious zealots don't exist in a vacuum. You can't have religious zealots without a base of "moderate" religious people to support them. It is, in fact, from the vast majority of "peaceful" religious people which the zealots come from. Every single religious murderer started off as a "moderate". They were born, raised, and taught the religion from the birth, and were then radicalised through adolescence.

The only truth in your OP is that it can be applied to every religion, not just Islam, not just Christianity, but all of them. When you teach people to stop thinking critically, it's easy to convince them of anything.
