But the underlying fact remains. Islam as a system, trains and incites a small percentage of its most devout followers that it is OK to commit violence in the name of Islam.<br /><br />These devout followers are responsible for all the violence associated with Islam. These devout followers may work on their own – like Mohammed Bouyeri the killer of Theo Van Gogh. Or work in groups – like the 19 men on 9/11. Or they may get together in larger groups such as Al Queda. <br /><br />They all are following Islamic theology. What you decide to call it – does not matter. The different names only give cover and plausible excuse to Islam (as a whole.)<br /><br />The core problem is really simple: The Koran, Haidith, Suna and other Islamic theological documents incite independent Muslims to commit violence in the name of Islam. After that – it is simply numbers. And obviously – for 1,400 years – the number of Muslims willing to commit violence in the name of Islam has been high enough to keep Islam just the same as its “core teachings” (Koran, Haidith, Suna and others.)<br /><br />Well-meaning non-Muslims waste time trying to isolate the “real” problem within Islam. Because the “real” problem is Islam as a whole. Without significant Islamic reformation (enlightenment) this problem will continue.<br /><br />I document in detail how this works in my thesis “Islam is Fear” which can be found at:<br />http://islamsfatalflaw.blogspot.com/<br /><br /><br />Pierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319596464302504061noreply@blogger.com
