Have extremists hijacked the narrative in order to manipulate generally ignorant, poor, or idealistic people to join in jihads, crusades, and missions? Yes. Is that the core of these? No. Again, that is my analysis, and you can disagree with it all you'd like without resulting in personally scathing attacks like calling me a liar or the perpetrator of some kind of scam.

Also, real classy with that self-aggrandizing preaching and archaic fantasy part, did you steal that from a real clever blog? When have I ever been preachy? EVEN ROB CAN VOUCH, THE ONLY THING I PREACH IS MUTUAL RESPECT, TOLERANCE, AND LOVE. Your scathing attitude and Rob's crass comments are not part of that dialogue. So I jumped in. I've never promoted one organization, institution, or ideology over another, rather that we all learn to be nice to each other. If you can't dig it, you will inevitably learn how, we all share this planet together.

you preach constantly. facile buzzwords like "respect, tolerance and love" can be both preachy and pukeworthy. they're certainly meaningless in such shallow contexts and posted solely for the benefit of your own ego.

this is not something i dig or will ever acquiesce to because its just feel good vapidity or bland truisms coming from an imminently extinct religion.
