You can't be shocked that people will discuss what role islam had in an attack happening when the group is literally called the islamic state.

but only an idiot would think this way. Just cause ISIS adopted a name it shouldn't mean they are directly affiliated with the religion. Especially since they are murdering Muslims that don't share their beliefs. In certain that there are thousands of followers following simply out of fear.You can't be shocked that people will discuss what role islam had in an attack happening when the group is literally called the islamic state.
"a problem" not "the problem", there are a bunch of problems surrounding this topic. I agree 100% that islamophobia is a serious problem and people need to be educated on that front. however in order to counter these bigots people are saying that islam is free from blame which is also false.The problem with most of the general public blaming Islam for these attacks is that they fail to recognize that this is an issue with all religions. So they basically paint it as an "Islam problem" instead of a "religion problem" and it turns into a "my religion is better than your religion" argument.islam (or any other religion) doesnt need to be inherently violent. all it is is a bunch of texts which can be interpreted however which way you want.Because the islam is not inherently evil or violent. It is religion just like any other.could you explain why islam played no role in these attacks?
you type a lot of words and complain about having to explain things without actually explaining anything
Religious extremism is the problem, not Islam.
Islam played a role in this because Islam is used by ISIS to give themselves credibility, their members truly believe they are doing the work of god and while they are logically terrible people their interpretation of the religious texts are no more or less accurate than any peaceful muslim.
this is not an issue that is exclusive to islam, its a problem with all religions. However it just so happens that the people behind this attack were doing it in the name of the islamic god.
the thing is, yes bad people will always find justification however not everyone that joins ISIS is naturally a bad personOk we're good
You're right...bad people will always find a justification to carry out their misdeeds and some people happen to use perverse interpretations of faith
why not? We are not civilized. We are still shaming people because of race color religion physical appearance sexual preference the list goes on. Just because Christianity which I remind you wasn't the only religion to do the same thing the Islamic state is doing now but it was in the past should not be brought up? How hypocritical ..."a problem" not "the problem", there are a bunch of problems surrounding this topic. I agree 100% that islamophobia is a serious problem and people need to be educated on that front. however in order to counter these bigots people are saying that islam is free from blame which is also false.
it is very much a religion problem however, brining up hypotheticals and historical events where christians did things just as bad does not and should not take away from what these guys did under the religion of islam
People bringing up Christianity in all of this remind me of the #AllLivesMatter crew.
When in doubt, deflect.
According to Edward Andrews, Christian missionaries were initially portrayed as "visible saints, exemplars of ideal piety in a sea of persistent savagery". However, by the time the colonial era drew to a close in the last half of the twentieth century, missionaries became viewed as "ideological shock troops for colonial invasion whose zealotry blinded them",[3] colonialism's "agent, scribe and moral alibi."
its not hypocritical when people not bringing it up also recognise that other religions can be just as damaging to the world. But when we are talking about this attack, and the causes of this attack something a bunch of christians did 300 years ago doesnt add anything to the conversation.why not? We are not civilized. We are still shaming people because of race color religion physical appearance sexual preference the list goes on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_colonialism
The European invasion of Africa was spearheaded by missionaries. They would come in, build churches and schools, and convert the local people by convincing them to abandon their own beliefs. Many people didn't want to, but the soft power of Christianity was backed by the very real power of European armies. In those schools, the local kids were often forbidden to speak their own languages, they were taught that their culture was evil, and that for their own good, they should adopt the Christian faith and the colonizer's culture. Those who followed religious beliefs considered occult by the church were hunted down, jailed, or even killed.
Because the colonists had successfully conveyed to the native populations the belief that their superiority was a result of their belief in the Christian god, many locals adopted the religion at the expense of their own cultures. It took WWII and the participation of African troops on the European front lines to destroy the idea of the invincible white man: for many Africans, the realization that white people could fear death, bleed, and cry just like them was an instrumental factor in delegitimizing the idea of white religious superiority and pushing for the independence movements that swept the continent between 1945 and the 1960s.
These are events that my great-grandparents and grandparents lived through. We don't have to go too far back in time to find examples of Christianity being used as a tool of conquest.
