I'm sure he meant to say, "It is certainly within reason to blame a runaway radical ideology within the religion of Islam, which has hijacked the culture in the most poverty-stricken, war-torn, lawless areas, for 9/11".

Meh, no see that is the right idea, in separating the individual from the label, but the left in EVERY religion still does not want to face that the same label and same books are used to justify those things. The 19 hijackers were not poor, they came from very stable families, just like Bin Laden.

I'd still tell Malala that it is the same god and the same book the violent side she and I rightfully  recoil at. Just like I would tell any empathetic liberal Christian that the likes of John Hagee are also under the same umbrella label. 

Every religion has an umbrella label under which there are competing sub sects who view the label and writings differently. That is where the majority of our species conflict comes from. It isn't that you can force any religion out of existence, but morso that the empathetic left is used far to much as cover which allows the violent right to do what they do.

Our species empathy is not coming from any label, not even "atheist". Our species behavior, both good and bad, cooperation or force, and unfortunately BOTH work. I think the more humans think in terms of nature instead of labels, the more we think in terms of individuals instead of labels, we still will not have a perfect world, but our management of our division collectively can be far less violent.
