You don't understand the criticism that such talk gets. It's about simplifying complex issues with the blaming of the mainstream religion. This does not mean that Islam needs no revisionism or whatever but that it is no political solution.
It is about confusing pseudo sociological theories with real phenomenons. Instability, poverty, oppression and war itself promotes radicalization. These things are far more researched and practical than forcing fastened revisionism of the whole religion in general. A new revision of mainstream Islam will happen no matter what, is already happening and lack there of is not the main cause of the current situation.
If everytime we want to talk about economic integration for example people bring up Islam then you should not be surprised that you get scoffed at because you are then acting like a 12 year old.
There's (unfortunately) no lack of underprivileged social groupings in Europe. If poverty was the main driving force of violence, the socially shunned and poor Roma folk would be coordinating attacks every week.
Every time there's been an economical downturn in Europe, we've seen the rise of neo nazis and fascism. But when I marched I the streets in the 90's protesting neo nazism, no one was making excuses for the ideology based on the economical situation and, telling me
I shouldn't criticize the neo nazis, because that could upset the poor "peaceful nationalists".
Violent terrorism is vastly overrepresented among adherents to Islam. Pedophiles are vastly overrepresented among Catholic priests. Let's try to find out WHY, instead of partaking in denialism.
I know it's not the PEOPLE themselves, because in essence, we're all the fucking same. All this grouping of people as "Muslims" or "Non-muslims" etc isn't helpful IMO, and it's just furthering the divide between us. There's people, and then there's ideas. They're not one and the same.
