My original point was that people who think that Islam, specifically, incites terror in and of itself, as opposed to the way Islam is a part of a larger culture, needs to explain what Indonesia doesn't stand out from its nearby countries in that regard.

That's problematic since the acts of terror in Thailand and the Philippines you linked to are presumably mostly (all?) committed by Islamic groups. And, fwiw, that these groups have absolutely no trouble finding passages in their holy books that excuse this type of violent behavior, and no trouble finding people willing to follow them, provides plenty of evidence that Muslim dogma does provide an environment that can breed terror (both through the pushing of submission to those who would be better served by education and empowerment, and through a doctrine that emphasizes that we are better than them).

That's partly definition. When a group of Buddhists riot and burn down Islamic homes in Thailand, that doesn't make the terrorism list, but when the Islamic minority performs similar actions, it is. The Philippines has issues with Communist rebels, Islamic groups, and some are even Hatfield-McCoy-type feuds, but again, since the country is something like 85% Christian, acts of Christian violence don't get classified as terrorism.

However, at this point I think we are arguing over a very small difference between our positions, so I'm going to flounce, and let you have the last word.

Well, the world's most peaceful religion is at it again. Now a British man with a young family was brutally slaughtered. What's the excuse this time? Were these folks upset because they weren't being allowed to assimilate?

I'm getting so tired of this nonsense. Stay in your own damn countries. Stop invading our countries and stirring the pot.
