Religion is fucked up.
Radical Islam just happens to be by far the worst and most dangerous, at this present moment in history.
As Sam Harris says, what is lost on non-religious folks, or religious moderates, is these people actually BELIEVE these things - (Jihard, Martyr, 72 virgins, etc).
Of course to you it sounds ludicrous. How could people believe this stuff? &Believe that the book they base their life and actions around was written by the creator of the universe, and is a completely 100% perfect book.
"Violent Extremists" aren't really "perverting" the religion/faith... They are actually the most adherent! If u read the text.
