Why is it that when someone threatens our land or freedom it's ok to do whatever is necessary to get it back but when Muslims do it they're labeled as radicals? Maybe the reason these people become ultra religious is because the only people not trying to “exterminate” them are there fellow Muslims. They don’t just wake up one day and say “I’m tired of living peacefully; I want to be a terrorist”. The reality is most of these people have had their lives ripped apart and have been put through things we can never even begin to understand. We are a very lucky few to be able to live in the types of societies we do, but we have to remember that we make up a very small portion of the demographic.

That is probably true for a lot but I bet some of them would be comparable to conspiracy theorist in the United States. Extremely irrational and, put the in a different situation and I bet this will happen, willing to do anything to achieve what they think is "right".

It has nothing more to do with Islam than abortion clinic bombings have to do with Christianity. They are just in a situation where the incentive to go to such extremes is much higher than in the United States.
