      There are Buddhist sects that commit terrorism. It’s not specific to religion. Stick humans in there and even a religion that talks of pacifism will gain violent extremists.

          It’s not an argument for religion. It’s an argument to not unfairly single out a religion for something they’re all universally susceptible towards.

          It’s very popular to use your talking points just for Islam. It doesn’t sounds like you’re talking about religion generally as a result.
