it has everything to do with a religion that teaches intolerance.  That teaches that the infidels are not even human.  You have to think of your neighbors as animals to be able to kill them like this.

Until we recognize and deal with the influences that are corrupting our youth we will never win this war. [/quote]

The entire religion doesn't teach those things. To the extent that you lump all Muslims in with those who believe such things, you are contributing to the terrorists' cause.

Okay, but how many of them agree with that way of thinking? What are the characteristics that the Muslims who agree have in common vs the ones who don't agree? These are important questions. [/quote]

The [i]Atlantic[/i] article gives a very in-depth explanation.  All religions recruit b/c there's power in numbers.  However, taking a literal view of any religion (in this case, any messages found in the Koran) means that YOUR view is the RIGHT view, and therefore, you stick CLOSELY to an original text written with the purpose of conversion.   And the Koran will mention slavery, beheading, and crucifixion as a way of handling infidels.  To be fair, all three of these atrocities are also mentioned in the Bible.

from the article:

[quote]Following takfiri doctrine, [b]the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people.[/b] The lack of objective reporting from its territory makes the true extent of the slaughter unknowable, but social-media posts from the region suggest that individual executions happen more or less continually, and mass executions every few weeks. Muslim “apostates” are the most common victims. Exempted from automatic execution, it appears, are Christians who do not resist their new government. Baghdadi permits them to live, as long as they pay a special tax, known as the jizya, and acknowledge their subjugation. The Koranic authority for this practice is not in dispute.[/quote]

[quote]According to Haykel, the ranks of the Islamic State are deeply infused with religious vigor. Koranic quotations are ubiquitous. “Even the foot soldiers spout this stuff constantly,” Haykel said. “They mug for their cameras and repeat their basic doctrines in formulaic fashion, and they do it all the time.” He regards the claim that the Islamic State has distorted the texts of Islam as preposterous, sustainable only through willful ignorance. “People want to absolve Islam,” he said. “It’s this ‘Islam is a religion of peace’ mantra. As if there is such a thing as ‘Islam’! It’s what Muslims do, and how they interpret their texts.” Those texts are shared by all Sunni Muslims, not just the Islamic State. “[b]And these guys have just as much legitimacy as anyone else.”[[/b]/quote][/quote]
