The fundamental idealogy of radical AND traditional Muslim is based on their version a holy book which states that.....well........I'm beating a dead horse here. We all know what it states
So you are very right when you say that it plays a significant role in the violence that we see among and FROM them.

Your not a former Muslim and agnostic does not believe Jesus is God which you have stated several times that's what you believe.
There is nothing violent about Islam that makes me commit violence towards anyone.
Definition of Agnostic just for your future reference:
One who disclaims any knowledge of God, or anything but material phenomenon.
You saying you like the teachings of Jesus and are happy to call him God is the exact opposite of what agnostics believe. Again showing yourself to be an uneducated fool. Nothing new there then!

how do you see ideology in violence?
And second if there were, islam Would play a significant role in it. A religion based on the fact that they are so supreme to this world and that their way of living is so "perrfect" , that those who live in oposition must perish, and why, for Ala. A nation and culture who sacrifice not there own lives, but their childrens.
I dont know about you but I believe that if an Armageddon is our near future, this is the cause.

No, I'm trying to say that ideologies in general play a significant role in all the violence in the world.

Yes you are wrong. Islam doesn't promote terrorism and is a peaceful religion that is not racist at all. Islam welcomes all people of other religious faiths who wish to learn or revert to Islam. They also don't have gays, alcohol, racism, drugs, sex before marriage, etc. Islam doesn't promote violence. People in Islam who use violence aren't following the Hadiths and the examples of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH*) and will get their sentence come Day of Judgment. If people would kindly get to know Muslims and learn what Islam is really about they would understand how good Islam is for all mankind and what purpose it serves for all mankind. It was Muslims who invented democracy and Islam who gave women the right to vote 1400 years ago and gave women their rights that they have now long before the West came out of the dark ages. Women and men are equal in Islam. Islam doesn't encourage Muslims to go out and kill Kaffurs. In fact Muslims are to be nice to Jews and Christians because Jews and Christains are people of the Book. Islam says to help the poor, give 2.5% of our yearly wealth to the poor every Ramadan, fast during daylight hours for one month, help our neighbors, reflect on death and try to do everything we can good on this Earth to reach Jinnah when we die, pray 5 times a day, abstain from gambling, drinking, smoking, drugs, and other bad things that lead Muslims astray, encourage others to learn about Islam and spread the truth about Islam, excuses women from praying or fasting on their periods, do hajj once in your lifetime, take care of animals, take care of parents when they reach old age, take care of children, die believing that there is no God worthy of worship except ALLAH(SWT), etc. Follow the Prophets(PBUH*) and be like them. Do good deeds on Earth in order to get to Jinnah because we will be questioned about our actions and deeds on the Day of Judgement. Read the Qur'an and Hadiths daily. Treat our children with respect and our neighbors with respect. Not to sever relations with our parents. Remember ALLAH(SWT) every day.

I would say any strong adherence to any ideology leads to violence. Whether it be Christian, Muslim, or Communist.
