    Just one of thousands of hate preachers indoctrinating the local population (and children) with the exact same extremist religious propaganda. Only religious extremists do this, and there are only religious extremists of religions that exist. Stop supporting religions. ALL of them.

      Not really sure what you are trying to say, but it sounds like you are way too focused on religion being a source for extremism in the world. Yeah there are religious extremists, but every movement has them, or at least has potential for extremists who indoctrinate kids or even advocate for violence against the detractors or enemies of the movement. Always has been and always will be.

        I think the reason it looks like religion motivates violent extremism is because the demography of the people most vulnerable to extremist propaganda are also more likely (statistically) to be more religious.

          What about the demography makes them more vulnerable? I assume you are referring to a study of some kind.

        “Too focused” on the original Us vs. Them indoctrination machine? Are you high, naive, or just that stupid? (“All of the above” is also an option, of course.)

          Well op said all of the extremists were religious. Since that isn’t true and there are many examples to the contrary throughout history, I think it’s safe to say that he was too focused on religion.
