ex.ex.expat,
I believe religious education from the top down also plays has an important role.
A strong message from higher religious level is urgently needed to be spread so less people will be victims of opportunists and brain washing.
As noted here almost all sacred scripts have passages that if taken literally, incite violence.
Why in Christianity (as an example) we don’t see today the trend of using those violent passages to conquest political power towards violence, as in the religion in question?
The message to disconnect violence from sacred text is not strong enough in the religion in question when compared to others.
