mte, like can we not pretend that extremists only exist among muslims? especially with the growing far right throughout the west.

I mean, I agree, but irrational fundamentalism is not exclusive to the religious. The nazi party, soviet union, and mao's great leap forward killed more people in the 20th century than any religous group. I think if you want to end Islamic extremism, let's focus on islamic extremism, not make vast and sweeping generalizations about cultures and religions.
The nationalists are right
Well clearly you're set in your ways. This discussion is pointless.
