We emulate our Gods
Reader comment on item: Analysis: Does the Islamic State Really Have 'Nothing to Do with Islam'?

Nice article. Its very simple, really: if you worship a violent deity, and you are serious about emulating your god, then you are at risk of acting out in violent ways. This is true not only of Islam but other religions. Those who deny this fact are blinded by their own ideology or political correctness.
