Unless both Christian rooted countries and Islam rooted countries come to an aggrement and cooperation this will not stop i guess. Because even though every country aggree that these groups seem a brutal ruthless threat to the world, countries take advantage of the situation these terrorists create. For example Russia says they fight against ISIS but they cover their real intention that what they want to support assad syrian leader and their long historical aims of reaching mediterrian sea. Iran in response taking advantage of this group in order to cover their support to shia population and trying to arm them and take advantage of after asad situation in Syria. And all europe is doing to avoid humans migration who fled from war torn cities to safe areas. And like that everyone seems to enjoy the situation's opening them to advance and fullfill their hidden agenda goals. United nations seem inefficient in such situations sadly. Actually what we see as individuals in the picture of Syria is not shared by states and goverments they dont approach it as a humanatarian view but in respect to their benefits and what they can make out of this situation for their profit.

The attacks bother me too, and the seriousness of the issue has really gotten to me today, because today I was questioned by a child regarding religion. The boy was a nice kid and actually seemed to like making my acquaintance, despite the age difference. I'm not entirely sure how I got myself into such a discussion with a child, but somehow it happened.

"Are you Christian? I am," he said. I informed him that I was Muslim.

"Okay, but don't you think Islam is kind of a bad religion? Like, it has terrorists and all, and everyone hates women in your religion, and people kiss a black stone," the child said with perfect seriousness.

"That's more of a traditional thing," I answered, not sure how to explain it to him.

"Yeah, but what about the terrorists? And, like, Belgium and Paris? Why do people do that?" he asked. "Christians don't do that. Christianity is a religion for everyone."

I was impressed by his belief, but I couldn't find a way to explain anything that's been going on. How am I supposed to make excuses for almost the entirety of the world's second largest religion? Nobody can do that. Unless there is large-scale reform, it's pretty much impossible to convince the world that the blame is on people and not on Islam.

In the end, I basically admitted that many people who called themselves Muslims were doing very wrong things. From the kid's point of view, I was agreeing with him. I told him something like this: "I don't hate the religion itself, I hate what people are doing to it."

Needless to say, he didn't buy a word of it.

The fact that a sixth-grader can criticize an entire religion and be right about it is very sad. And it's also sad that I had no legitimate explanation to give him. We all know about hadiths and corruption, but that is not something one can explain to a kid. It's even harder to explain everything to adults, who aren't as gullible as kids. I am so tired of making excuses for the terrorism, cruelty, and tyranny practiced by a considerable percentage of my religion.
