RE: Study: Terrorists are motivated by Politics more than Religion

Why are we so obsessed with trying to say there's just one motive for terror? Can't there be multiple? Ever considered it might be BOTH religious and political?
I do think it's more political. I think just like the Christian inquisitions in early modern Europe used Christianity for power, Islamism is a far-right political movement that uses Islam as it's face. Islam is a means of power and control, it's used for political gain. So yes, it's both religious and political, but it's mostly political through use of religion.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
