If the ideology causes otherwise sane people do horrible things, I blame the ideology.
Islamic terrorists are the victims of that ideology.
Stop pretending it is not true. Nazism, Communism, or Racism are all wrong and are banned in most countries.
Now it is time to ban religion, Islam in particular.

you might get a better understanding of what i am trying to relay if you stop thinking of things in terms of -isms and read up on some historiography and literature.
judgments and opinions don't really give any insight or understanding, but neither will i argue.

but that's not how things work, ever.
have you taken a look at the map lately?
what constitutes the 'muslim world'.
