Correlation does not equal causation

No lol I never said that. The issue imo is the lack of education and the rampant political strife, poverty etc. In many countries which just happen to have larger Muslim populations.

I already addressed the reason why such actions are common in this group of people previously in this thread. Suffice to say there are numerous political dimensions to the issue independent of religion Rather than asking me to repeat it, go back in the thread and find it for yourself
