ilove when someone shoots innocent people indiscriminately in a supermarket, for instance, shouting that its vengeance in the name of Allah, it's hard not to make the connection between the terrorist and the religion. They are Islamic terrorists. How they came to be so, especially people like the ones in Paris who were French, born there etc, is another matter and of course radicalisation is going to be linked to poverty.
But for anyone to say that IS, al Qaeda, individual radical terrorists, small cells, british citizens going to join jihad in Syria, caliphates, etc etc are not connected to religion is patently nonsense, and for anyone to cry racism/muslim bashing etc when the connection is mentioned overtly, is why a real debate cannot be fruitful. It is not the whole of the Muslim religion, of course, but it is a strand of it.
