I'm not entirely sure how I would define my guiding motivation in life, but I swear "do no harm" would be part of it.

I despair at those who believe otherwise.

What about those who do harm in your name?

That's their choice not mine.

As much as I'm able to claim, I'd never advocate such.

And there stems the entire problem with islam from. A lot of people killing "in its name"; more often than not, where that is just abused as an ideology to rally more marginalized people to the cause.

We'll never be able to stop those that abuse religions and causes for political gain, but we can starve their number of "soldiers" by not giving impressionable people more reasons to hate a country.

I agree. Süddeutsche Zeitung had a very good article (in German) on how young people who feel like their life is lacking are recruited into literal Islam, whether violent or nonviolent.[0]
