The reason why the extreme actions of some Muslims are considered justifiable is not simply due to religious fervor.

It is the result of a complex intertwining of history, politics, psychology, and social oppression.

Many Islamic countries were once colonies of Western powers and still feel under the political and economic influence of the West.

In such an environment, some Muslims develop a strong sense of victimization, believing that "our culture and religion are being oppressed."

As a result, extremists exploit these feelings.

They say, "This is revenge and justice. It is following the will of Allah."

Islam originally means 'peace.' However, extremist groups selectively interpret certain verses of the Quran to justify violence.

Just like how some Christian forces in the past justified war using only certain verses from the Bible.

In other words, it is not a problem of Islam as a whole, but rather a problem of a minority using religion as a political weapon.

Why do they come to believe it is 'justice'?

• It is often not pure belief, but rather close to brainwashing.

• From a young age, if they are taught that "the West is Satan" and "we are the army of God," it feels like justice.

• It makes them believe that this world is a war between good (us) and evil (them), and that they are on God's side.

In this way, suicide bombings and the killing of innocents become 'sacred missions' carried out in the name of God.

Why It Appears as 'Demonic Influence'

It can seem that way. From the outside, their actions appear extremely brutal, irrational, and inhumane. But for them, it is a belief. In other words, it may look like "demonic influence," but they actually believe it is a distorted command from God.

The problem is that this belief has been created, reinforced, and perpetuated by someone.

Ultimately, such extreme actions arise not from the religion itself but from the phenomenon of humans using religion for power.

Just as a knife is originally a tool but can become a weapon depending on the person wielding it, religion can also be a tool for peace or a means of violence.
