I have tried to write out this question 4 times and can’t get it right. I hope what I am trying to ask is understood.

With the advent of Boston Marathon bombing, conversation is heating up again about the Muslim religion, jihadists, and everything related.

Should we take the focus of a specific religion and talk about religious extremism in general? Pretty much all religions have sects that are extreme and can be harmful.

I wish I could be more specific in my question, I don’t know exactly where this conversation will go, but I am interested to hear the thoughts of the collective.

Thanks ahead of time.
