    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…
