Do 9/11, San Bernardino and Nice illustrate a problem with Islamic theology?

109. Response to both the above - mostly agreed

I'm not trying to play pedantic games that theology is too academic or limited a term. I'm more than happy to agree that theology can be broadly applied to general religious beliefs perfectly well. I further certainly agree that these loons really do believe what they say. I've made the point many times here that they really are religious and religion really inspires terrorism.

But what I'm trying to say, none too well apparently, is that it's not religious doctrine or tradition or whatever other defintion of theology that drives the actual terrorists very much. It's their religion, but not their understanding of what their religion teaches, that drives them. In short I think that religious motivation rarely gets more detailed than "Me Good Muslim - them Bad Muslim/Infidel. Kill because Imam/ISIS said so." I really doubt they are pondering much on the nature of jihad or the nature of the hidden Imam at even a vulgar level.
