On none, I know religion in itself advocates violence in different ways. And I cannot act like I know the islamic theology as well as the christian one.

But still, a ISIS militant and a moderate muslim are not the same thing. Being a muslim or a christian does not make you a militant murder that has not picked up a gun yet. There are some that do, and most who don't. Also I do not think ISIS convictions are completely religious. I think they have a goal, and use religion to make it seem right to themselves. (speculation of course.)

I am convinced that labeling any muslim as an extremist will work against us, and will close the opportunity for debate. It will only make the gap bigger, something we should try to avoid, at least here in the western world.

I have to add, the violence is not the reason why I disagree with religion/god.

So you don't have any facts to base the opinion on, just that you want it to be so that it doesn't work against us in some way?

I think there is a difference between a muslim that will not choose to follow the violence in their religion and those that have simply yet to do so. I think learning and knowing this difference is vitally important and it is something that we fail at doing. Hoping/wishing/pretending is not a reasonable reaction to the danger.

Modern christians just don't have the level of fervent belief coupled with the idea that jesus was a non-violent peace lover. This keeps their violence down. If jesus had lopped off heads like mohamed (piss be upon him), then I think they would be just as violent.
