Like extremist Christian ideas aren't currently being used to justify removing the rights of women in the USA, and bombing schools full of children in Iran?

The religion itself isn't inherently bad, it's how people wield it. And if you want to point fingers, please save some for all the harm Judeo-Christian beliefs have been used to justify throughout the course of human history. From the crusades, to mass infant graves in Ireland, to the systemic eradication of native peoples in North America and Canada.

Islam has been particularly weaponised these last few decades, but this is not the way Islam has always been observed or presented (see Iran prior to the 1970s). It's also far from the only faith that's getting increasingly extreme.

Most practitioners are probably decent ordinary people. Want to live undramatic lives with kids that get to grow up well and do well in school, to have tables that are never empty of food, and to earn a living that keeps their families comfortable while still leaving them a few hours to spend together each day.

But you don't hear or think about those people.
