What about the Lord’s Resistance Army, National Liberation Front of Tripura,Anti Balaka and many others. Lets not pretend that people are only using the Islamic texts for an excuse to pillage,subdue and murder every religion has people using it for terror.
I'm not going to blame Christianity for the the ethnic cleansing in CAR in 2014 just as I will not blame Islam for ISIS and what they do.

Well, at least they aren't eating people.
But it doesn't seem that beheading is exclusive to Muslims.

Trying to force ideals on peoplesmight work on 'half', the other 'half' will rebel. And that's 'normal' people (non-Muslim's).

My point is that the Western leaders have enough power to forcibly assimilate them to more or less extent, and that the continuation of this strain of Extremism is no accident.

I think that is entirely feasible.
Call me an optimist but I'm not sure what the options are, from a practical point of view.

3 out of 4 were Christians?
The thing is the religion is only mentioned when it is a Muslim committing the crime.
You don't understand how the conditioning works do you??

I want to have the freedom to insult every religion if I felt the need to.
If I want to draw Mohammed, I damn well am going to draw him.
Freedom.
That's what I want.

After not paying attention to politics for a few years, I'm flabbergasted by what's going on these days.

I guess we should do the same with Christians too. Oh, and Jews. Don't forget the Catholics.
You can view all religions as a terrorist group if you judge based on the extremists and their texts.
When is this logical fallacy going to stop being used?

When stupid people stop painting the whole religion for the actions of a few.
Here is a strong indicator that the Obama Administration’s crusade to appease Islam has gone too far; a new U.S. military handbook for troops deployed to the Middle East orders soldiers not to make derogatory comments about the Taliban or criticize pedophilia, among other outrageous things. It gets better; the new manual, which is around 75 pages, suggests that Western ignorance of Afghan culture— not Taliban infiltration—is responsible for the increase in deadly attacks by Afghan soldiers against the coalition forces. ... The draft leaked to the newspaper offers a list of “taboo conversation topics” that soldiers should avoid, including “making derogatory comments about the Taliban,” “advocating women’s rights,” “any criticism of pedophilia,” “directing any criticism towards Afghans,” “mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct” or “anything related to Islam.”
