40 months, 1 week, 3 hours agoReligion has often been the root cause for violent acts. Focusing on the interpretation of moral claims about good and evil, religion encompasses tradition, history, and faith and as such it reflects the social construct of a culture that views a particular religion as indisputably true. Extreme religious commitment is often expressed in the form of extremist behavior and terrorism as religious beliefs are mainly based on faith rather than reason. In this context, the higher objective truth echoed by religion may require confrontational solutions when put at stake.
