If the Koran is directing Muslims to carry out these atrocities and Muslims are indeed carrying them out, how can the Islamic religion not be involved? It seems you are fervently hoping that islam is a benign religion full of peace and loves and that anything which strays from that idea is an aberration. Such is not the case, and the Koran is not the New Testament. I can easily blame Muslims as a whole because they are not speaking out against the atrocities Muslims throughout the world are committing. Decent muslims should be damning these crimes but, by and large, they either remain silent or make excuses. Of course it is the fault of the texts! Those are the basis of the religion. Otherwise where does any religion get their beliefs and how else would they be sustained? You have an overinflated view of religion, it seems.
So, if you blame the texts, when so called Christians were commiting atrocities even AFTER the New Testament was written, do you blame the people or the bible?
You have not read the Koran from cover to cover or you wouldn't blame the texts. You go off of sound bytes and quotes that are out of text. Read the Koran please, you look foolish.
