stay-human:
I might have to puke.
Again, I can’t believe I’m repeating this again but is it really that hard to say that extremists and ignorant people are the cause of terrorism? Is it that hard not to bring Islam into it?
When somebody else commits an act of terrorism a new religious term isn’t invented for it (and rightly so) so why are Islamism and Islamist terms (that immediately cast a negative shadow over the entire religion because these negative connotations have the root “Islam”) but there’s no such thing as “Christianist” or “Judaist” to imply extreme factions in Christianity or Judaism- it’s because acts of terror from those groups are not associated with the religion and rightly so.
So can we please hold individuals to account for their own actions and not condemn entire (huge, 1.5 billion people huge) groups?
