Radicalism is dangerous in all its forms, be it religious or political, which can form a lethal combination. There are always underling factors that cause radicalism to take hold, mostly socio-economic grievances that results in the more moderate members of society, feeling they are discriminated against, or threatened in ways by others within society, then seek restitution, and that is often in the form of some kind of extremism against the perceived wrong doers and their supporters.
GY article" the Islamic community has to take some responsibility for recent acts of terrorism. Not that the community is collectively guilty for them, but that they arise from a form of 'radical' or 'extremist' Islam, and that can best be policed from within the community."
That begs the question, should all religious communities including Christian and Jewish communities take some responsibility for the actions of some of their own? Do Australian Christians take responsibility for the murders at Wieambilla in 2022 of two police officers and a civilian by what the police described as a Christian fundamentalist terror attack. What has the Catholic, Anglican etc etc churches done to prevent future Christian terrorism? I'd say absolutely nothing,as they continue to fill children's heads with their dangerous garbage!
The root founder of the big three monotheistic religions today Christianity, Islamic, and Judaism, Abraham, he was all prepared to sacrifice (murder) his son after hearing the voices! Maybe he did, the bloke should have been committed to a mental institution, and not written up as some kind of exalted holy than holy, certainly a nut job by today's standards!
