It is also the fear of the unknown.

You are right. But then people with working logic should have known that forcing others to follow their belief, especially with violence, is in no way good. Just be your best self and people will be interested to learn about your way of life.

I have negative sentiment with Muslim extremist since I was a victim of their discrimination (it's more like a personal thing tho), but I cannot agree with what you're saying. Almost every religion has done horrible things (Buddhism in the case of Rohingya, Hinduism in some cases in India, extremist Islam towards anyone that is not a Muslim, Christianity in the past, etc.)
Although we also have to highlight that not all religious people are horrible. I even have some Muslim friends that are very tolerant and kind, but then again they are not really religious as in not wearing headwear and such.
