    The root cause is not Muslims. The root cause is not an ethnic group of people. The root cause is extremism which was developed from people being oppressed by imperialism.

      As an savvy ex-muslim, I can tell you that Islam is definitely a big reason. And partially because Islam by definition is an empirialist ideology, that festers in any nation like cancer. So you’re partially right. But the opressed here (brainwashed really) are the one who are committing these atrocities.

      That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. The root cause is insane cults brainwashing children into believing they must obey magical sky creatures (whose words only old paedophiles can interpret) because none of the followers are willing to admit they were scammed by some “prophet” thousands of years ago.

          The whole Abrahamic cult is full of them, no matter what sect. Not just the sick fixation with disfiguring childrens genitalia. The prophet Muhammed had child “wives”.
