Fam_Fam posted...Islamic terrorism is a result of Western policies that destabilized Muslim countries, not Islam itself. i should correct myself, its not ENTIRELY islam itself. Islam has some issues (namely the issue of it being more likely to be taken literally, which is very problematic), but that's also something that can be changed over time (as it has with other religions). The West has certainly done things to let extremists gain influence in the middle east, which promotes the extreme forms of Islam which are very damaging in both the Middle East and the west. So, I think the West needs to modify its behaviors to limit these organizations power, and I think Islam needs to modernize. However, the West's policies on the whole have created a conflict with Islamists which push it further to the extreme. Islam will continue to have problems until its is more moderated in general to adjust to today's world. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
