re: #77 Naso Tang

And madrassas are what, if not rote religious indoctrination?

It’s religious and cultural both, but with a main root in the extremist Salafist rhetoric. There’s also the idea that The West has persecuted and taken advantage of the Arab states in different ways— never mind that, to the extent that’s true, it was mostly the British. The US has meddled too, but nowhere near enough to deserve a lethal level of ire.

Mostly, it’s the extremist variations of Islam. Not just Salafism, but that’s the main problematic one.
