When religions hide behind Islam...

In recent months, Islam has become the new enemy and the source of all dangers. Granted, it's been harnessed by some extremists and blessed by governments that have no problem mixing religion with politics. Yet, what's true for Islam is also true for any religion or other irrational beliefs.
