In response to a specific comment above (and I know I’m not stating anything that hasn’t been said already) that **“feelings of victimisation/anger/frustration are the main reasons for terrorism, it's because of those feelings that people misinterpret Islamic scripture” **seems to me an excuse to absolve extremist Muslims of their individual responsibility and to justify actions that cannot be justified. We need to take away these excuses and promote individual responsibility for those who affiliate themselves with the Muslim faith yet seek to pervert the faith. We cannot on one hand argue that terrorist inclinations and actions are limited to a few yet make excuses for them at the same time – defending or rationalizing their conduct has an element of complicity with their actions.
Dudette I'm not defending/justifying extremists/terrorists or their actions, I'm simply psyching their mentality... I think it's important to sincerely try and understand their mentality/mindset if we are to defeat them.
Other than your misunderstanding of my post I agree with everything you've said.
