Poor diet over the millennia.

Islam isn't necessarily, Religious extremist nutters are. The core tenant of most religions is to live in harmony but there will always be those who can't tell what parables are or take archaic language and practices as something that should exist forever.
We should have outgrown religion by now and instead it still causes so much death and misery.

Islam isn't necessarily, Religious extremist nutters are. I guess the question then is why do some religions have more extremist nutters than others? |

Suppression of scientific thought to a large degree. When the Muslim world was at the centre of scientific thought it was the Christians behaving like barbarians, now they have switched places. Religion and intolerance prevail where reason and science are ignored and denied. |

I'm not sure that explains the higher incidence of nutters (by which I man people readily prepared to resort to violence). Scientific thought does not control temperament - that comes from deeper within. I go back to my first comment on this thread for the root cause. |

The video was deleted because CosmicSkeptic (the maker of it) received so many threats apparently.

Muslims are no less sensitive than most fundamentalist Christians.  |

Because in most Muslim majority nations there is not freedom of religion, separation of church and state, and there is an abiding bigotry toward secularism. I think most Americans, whether they are fanatical or not, would not vote for an atheist believing such godless folk are incapable of being upright and moral. Go figure. So, the base issue is not the faith of either Christians or Muslims, but their lack of education about other religions and cultures in general. |

Is this "temperament" due to the DNA of the adherent or lack of knowledge and focused solely on their divine mandate that their God is the only one and everyone should obey Him...and by extension them...being prized within the culture? |

The core tenant of most religions is to live in harmony but there will always be those who can't tell what parables are or take archaic language and practices as something that should exist forever. We should have outgrown religion by now and instead it still causes so much death and misery. I have posted a video about Trumptards building their own state. They also have their own version of Christianity. The mottos are (among others) God is a warrior. A man has to fight. Reads pretty much like instructions to jihad. It is the rightwing that cannot see the similarities / and / or refuses to see the similarities. It's always easier to have a black / white world, one or two scapegoats, no fluent lines. The same shit for centuries. I am surprised they don't get bored by their own shit. I am pretty certain that the OP and some others here would actually refuse to acknowledge that the sharpest critism of radical Islam comes from Muslims themselves. And it takes far more courage to utter that kind of critique on Saudi state TV than on Stormfront or Fjordman.com or whereever the OP and those others post. |

These are people who think that if the "Christ" character existed, he was white though, hard to take them seriously. |

The Godful can be evil as Satan himself…who believes in God, by the way…so why is it impossible for an atheist to be moral? |
