Islam is not indited when a Muslim robber kills a possible witness to his crime, nor is Christianty indited when a Christian man beats his wife cause she said something that upset him. Neither scenario is is causally linked to the religious doctrine of the criminals.
A religion is indited by the violence committed from its followers, when that violence is inspired by the doctrines of the religion. Heres the litmus test:
But for the doctrines of this religion, would this type of violence occur?
Jihad is another species of violence, like murder in self defense, or robbery based on poverty. BUT FOR ISLAM, we wouldnt have people screaming ALLUAH AKBAR and then blowing up tourists in Yemen.
The Spanish tourists in Yemen were not blown-up because they all slept with his wife.
The Spanish tourists in Yemen were not blown-up because they had valuables the Jihadists wanted to confiscate for the afterlife.
The tourists were blown-up for Allah. Islam convicted.
