Not at all. Isis and the Taliban are objectively and demonstrably more of a practical danger, and more disgusting and repressive in their worldview, than any extremists coming out of any other religion. The Buddhists ain’t crashing planes into towers, the Sikhs don’t have suicide bombers, the scientologists aren’t keeping women from getting an education.
Idk about suicide bombers, but I do know that the deadliest act of aviation terrorism up till 9/11 was at the hands of Canadian Sihk terrorists on behalf of the Sihk militant group Babbar Khalsa. Not to mention, there have been instances of violence from Buddhist nationalists in Sri Lanka against Muslim minorities. There are also many, many, many, many instances of Christian terrorism, and not just in the United States. The Lords Resistance Army has been terrorizing Africa since the 1980s.
There are currently no religions that do not have extremists that employ violence. Religion itself is violence, as it is a means of control and dominance. There are no good religions, and no peaceful ones.
I think if you look at numbers overall you’ll see that Islam is by far the worst. I definitely don’t agree with the phrase that religion itself is violence because that just waters down the meaning of violence. But if it was the case that religion is violence because of control and dominance, then Islam would still be inherently worse than others.
Islam isn’t the worst, islamic religious extremism is. Just by coincidence, Islam is also the largest religion so the fact that there are a lot of extremists seem to be disconnected from the religion and has more to do with just sheer size…
There are extremists in every religion, so we should just ban all religions. Actually, there are extremists in every group, so let’s just stop doing stuff, y’know?0
