One one side you have a belief that if your not part of it and conform to it your an enemy who can be killed. On the other you have a political body that stats anyone who opposes there political agenda and does not conform to it is a terrorist and can be killed/imprisoned for life.
Plus on one side you have an advanced army (many advanced army's actually) on the other you have a poor desperate and angry group who will do anything to try and make the world a better place in there own eyes. And they are funded well enough to get the job done. (fight back against a conventional army.)
Its pretty obvious why there is a higher percentage of extreme violent lifestyles within the Islamic faith.
Extremism thrives best when extreme conditions like economical poverty, oppression, division among class/religion/sex etc... are at its worse. People want change, extremist give them that chance in any way it can. Most of the time its not in a good way.
Suicide bombers are normally financially poor young men. Their family's are paid off once he/she becomes a "martyr". It seems crazy to the majority of the west. but poor people do extreme and crazy things. just look at any poor community in any city in North America. Poverty breeds violence, gangs extreme behavior of all kinds to provide for themselves and their family's. (There are gangs and violence within upper/middle class suburbs and shit but those are kids who have a good life but don't realize it. There lifestyle and behavior is a different topic altogether.)

Yeah, that is very true. Extremism of any faith is just as bad. It is just unfortunate that percentage wise there are more followers of the Islamic faith that succumb to the extreme violent lifestyles than other faiths. I'm not going to debate which faith is the most dangerous, because in my opinion they are all equally as dangerous.
With that said, I agree with about 95% of what she said, but like you said - there were a few issues she brought up which aren't completely accurate.
While Jews do kill just as many Muslims as Muslims kill of Jews, one could argue that the violence from Islam is directed towards anyone of the the Jewish faith and any civilian in general, whereas Israeli violence is directed towards strategic political targets. Statistically, Muslims seem more keen on killing non-military personal than Jews, and there does need to be at least some distinction between the two, even though both are wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~ The problem with the world is that the fanatics are so arrogantly sure of themselves, while the open-minded individual remains filled with doubts.

Jews have never killed anyone based on there religion? Israelis have killed many many Arab Muslims since the creation of Israel. The only difference is that they don't need to go into cafes to blow themselves up to do this. They have fighter jets and laser guided missiles to do the job.
I don't see much difference between extremist of any religion. Christians, Jews, Muslims etc... Its all a tool to control the masses. To enslave people and to divide people. At the end of the end days its all about money and power.
