There's no Muslim dominated region in DR Congo. It is a Christian majority country.
You're right but the terrorists often come from muslim dominated area. Their mission is well spelt out. Muslims population is enough to start a country so they should split for peace to reign

When ever I want to support GAZA and feel pity for wat is happening to the ppl of GAZA they always spoil my mind with things like this. If the Christian community in DR CONGO start killing them now U will see news like "stop the killing of Muslim umma in Dr Congo".

I wished the world had a very large population of Jew.

There's a deep historical context to it. You may have to go back to the times of "The Crusades" to fully understand but in short, they are instruments in the hand of foreign powers, politicians etc. America had strong links with Al Qaeda, Ukraine is supporting the JNIM terrorists in the Sahel etc.

France's Vincent Crouzet (A member of French Intelligence Agency) once publicly said loosely in 2023 or so, that "Now that we are no more in the Sahel, we have more flexibility to start up some operations of destabilisation more secretively in the region". How do you think they carry out these destabilisation operations?
The question is why always them and terrorism all over the world?

Nothing can make me go to that country, DRC. They have the blackest heart in the whole of the African continent

So your responsibility is to write and post illogical and unreasonable comments that doesn't make sense to any reasonable human being?

The question is why Islam is being used for terrorism all over the world, then something is wrong with the religion...
This is a fair question, but the problem isn't the religion, it's the politics.
Terrorist groups are political movements that hijack religious symbols to get power. They recruit people by exploiting real world anger over things like foreign invasions, poverty, and corrupt governments. To justify their violence, they have to completely twist the faith's actual teachings. This is why the vast majority of the world's 1.8 billion Muslims reject these groups entirely. These opportunists, whom the media call terrorists, number only in the thousands.

Now, let's also look at the conditioning we all experience from the media we consume. News headlines often blame the religion while ignoring the political reasons and selfish interests behind the conflict. Movies do it too, constantly using stereotypes like 'Islamic terrorists,' Russian agents, and African warlords as the bad guys, while the West always plays the hero. This constant psychological positioning makes it hard to remain objective. Even when presented with different facts, your mind will still hold on to that conditioned image.

What you're seeing isn't a problem with Isla, it's a few violent political groups using its name to achieve their own goals.

My goal here isn't just to convince you. I would rather you go deeper into these matters go way back if you can. But while doing so, be objective. Leave your own beliefs at the door and come in as a researcher looking for answers. Perhaps then, you will form a point of view that isn't tainted, but is based on facts and human psychology.

All the best✌🏾

If Islam is the easiest means to use for terrorism then there is something wrong with the religion, that's my major point

what do you know about crusader? Was it not when islamic madness was unleashed everywhere like it's doing in our generation presently that crusader army was formed?

Crusader fought to defend its land against the Islamic jihadist war that was unleashed against the people.

You can't change the narrative to defend evil!!

To understand how this works, let's look at a verse manipulators often twist from

Surah Al-Baqarah:

"Kill them wherever you come upon them and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution is far worse than killing... If they do so, then fight them..."

The clear context here is self defense for a community that was violently persecuted. But someone with an agenda can take this verse to a vulnerable person someone poor, illiterate, or just alienated and twist it.

They ignore the context of "persecution" and present it as a command for violence.
This isn't just my theory, I've seen this playbook firsthand. My work involves understanding radicalism, and my team has interviewed extremist leaders and their followers. What's shocking is that the followers often know the Qur'an by heart but can't actually read or understand its context. They're extremely poor. The leaders draw them in with gifts, food, clothes for their wives and then tell them to send their kids to indoctrination centers instead of schools.

The leaders, on the other hand, are just after power and wealth.

You can see the hypocrisy right here in Nigeria. A certain demographic is easily recruited by leaders. In this same society they forbid music at a wedding, while those same leaders play music and serve alcohol in private. It’s a game of manipulation, not faith. I wish I can go deeper into different use cases but NDA wouldn't allow me do that.

The problem isn't the tool, but the hand that wields it as a weapon. A sacred text can be a mirror. If a man with a violent agenda looks in, he will only ever see a reflection of himself. I've made my case, and I'll leave it at that.

If gun is the most commonly used weapon to kill, it means the gun itself has a better killing advantage than other weapons, so are you saying Islam has terror advantage than other religions?
