I think you need to admit Islam has their far share of radicals who take violent radical actions.
I agree.
But this is something EVERY religion needs to face and I keep addressing time after time.
There is no such thing as a "Religion of peace", there are only individuals who can potentially be cruel or compassionate. Times change and history changes, but what has never changed is our observations of humans in that we have always displayed both cruelty and compassion. Labels have no magic power to make an individual only do good, or only do bad.
Islam certainly did not invent violence, but as with all religions, our behaviors are not in labels, holy books, or holy people, but in our genes.
