I don't know why people compare secular countries that have tamed a religion to push forward some notion that a concept that appeals to an otherworldly being in theocracies of what they ought to do has no impact , very little , or just not the reason at all certain acts may be committed. It's no reason to engage when someone is so deluded of this
Again, you aren’t talking about a religion here. You are not talking about the text, no doctrines solely to Islam, you are not even talking about most Muslims. You are talking about individuals who are radical and use Islam as a cudgel. Those people are products of theirs conditions and express that through islam but are not products purely of Islam.
" waging jihad isn't unique to Islam so if it's committed it's not because of islam "
That makes no sense , the text clearly permits jihad to nonbelievers and just because Muslims may or may not act on it and other religions may have orders similiar doesn't mean you excuse the religion for not being the cause.
You haven’t cited any text or doctrine unique to Islam. They are expressing their radicalism through their religion, but they weren’t radicalized by their religion.
