Except it isn't religious. Devout men do not slaughter women and children because they are of a different faith.
There is no call in the holy book for young men to take up arms and wage jihad.
The only time the holy book justifies taking up arms is if the home is about to be invaded.
There is no call to be an aggressor.
The Hadith however, does call for these things......and Hadith means 'tradition'.....so it is culture rather than religion.
There is nothing in the holy book which requires other faiths to be forced to convert.....or pay a tithe for not converting

Muslims know this, but still they remain silent about the barbarism being perpetrated in their name on foreign soil.
