Re: 128shot vs hipsterdufus - Violence of Islam

Poor and rural communities world wide with individuals that have seldom, if not never, left thier small community are often more ignorant of the outside world, far more prone to fundamentalism and extreemism. Especially when looking to religion as a form of escapism of thier surrounding poverty. However therein lies the catch 22.
Q3: Is violent sectarian extreemism the result of poverty and ignorance fed by propaganda, or is it the very suppressive nature of Islam itself that is causing such poverty and promoting ignorance?
Should it be the former, is this due to foreign influences for the poverty or because of domestic circumstances. If the later then how did a once prosperous ancient civilization along the Tigeress and Euphradies become so?

The toss
It lands tails, thus the question starts with 128Shot
