thanks for your respectful answer. "word for word you are showing you lack of knowledge in what Islam actually is" in which word I show my understanding or lack thereof to you. Besides pointing out where this "violen ideology" thing comes from, I did not say anything about islam or what I think of it. As for your arguments... i never talked about cherry picking, but actually about fundamentalism. you think fundamentalists do not "research" islam? you are on par with their interpretation and it seems like you are even using their translations. we can go on about whats written in the quran and all that, but this is a much to long discussion.

what I want to address is your point about manchester. So when is bombing someone not religious? if its done by drones in the name of democracy? am i right just to wash aside the iraq war as christian violence? bush talked about a "holy duty", so why don't you use the same logic here?

or what about the manchester bombing from the protestant no so long ago. was this conflict only religious ly motivated? is protestantism to blame? what do those victims say? what does that even mean. what do you even know about the motivation of that guy, you think he stumbled upon the quran and all of a sudden wanted to kill some kids? do you know about how he got radicalized and what are the underlying factors? you use islam a an allegation, explanation and an example all at once. but this is not how an argument is made.

had this terrorism anything to do with islam? yes, just as the IRA had something to do with chrisitanity. but it would be foolish to not see all the other, maybe even far more exceeding factors involved. thats my main point. criticism where it is due, but I won't give in to "blame islam" as the root of all evil, just as i think, with all due respect, that talking about "islam being violent since" the middle ages is anything but bad research, not to say cherry picked ;D

I will write on that topic, too. so we can have a great discussion about it. keep up the good work, maybe I learn something new.

best wishes
