Terrorists are full of shit.

110. No, the OP is about how saying that it is being done in the name of Islam is a ton of

bullshit. There is a significant difference.

Those who do these things say, and no doubt believe, that they are doing them in the name of Islam. But the fact is that they are doing these things because they are evil and sick and they are attracted to the permission this particular iteration of Islam gives them.

Yes, the Koran gives them the rationale. As the Bible gives fundamentalist Mormons the rationale to marry and sexually abuse their underage nieces.

Many people read the Koran and follow Islam and remain horrified by the idea of beheading four year olds. Many people read the Bible and never consider sexually abusing their underage nieces.

So it is not the Koran, then, nor the Bible that is the cause. It is the evil in the people who interpret them.

Yes, this particular iteration of Islam is evil and needs to be obliterated. But it is not about the Koran. It's about the evil in the people who are interpreting it.
