We often hear that Islam is a religion of peace, and that it is just a few radicals that have “hijacked” Islam. We hear that the real cause of terrorism is due to poverty, and political powerlessness. What about the Buddhists that are impoverished, why are they not blowing themselves up? Are there not any impoverished Christians in the world? This violence must be caused by something more than being impoverished. Could it be the philosophy of Islam?
