Islam, Jihad and the American Presence

My thoughts on this are based on my observation of the world primarily via media and my instinct, intuition. I do not think these extremist acts of violence are insular incidents. I do see a connection between extreme religious views and acts of violence. The catch is one person's extreme is anothers middle ground.

I am weary of all extremist in any religion. This would be inclusive of Islam and Christianity. I believe much of the violence in the name of whatever God is an attempt to hold on to perceived power and control of others and material resources, aka $$$$.

Extremist views are not only found in religion. Politics would be the other obvious venue.
