[quote author=“Steve in NC”]Karen says “There are political reasons why a tiny minority of Muslims are turning to terrorism, which have nothing to do with Islam…..he can probably find scriptural texts that seem to endorse his action”
It seems like she is contradicting herself to me.
What I believe she is trying to say is some Muslims turn to terrorism for political and material reasons and subsequently search for and find justification in the scriptures, after they have already chosen that path. That is what I understood her to be saying in that passage so I see no contradiction.
