    We have shown that some of these parts are accepted by most Muslims (War on terror as a War on Islam) and some parts are rejected by most Muslims (attacking civilians). Yet even the accepted part, that there is supposedly a war on Islam going on, represents only a single mechanism of radicalization ? group grievance. A completely effective attack on this grievance would yet leave eleven other mechanisms of radicalization in play. We conclude tentatively that even eliminating the perception of a War on Islam may not have, at least in the short term, a large effect on the rate of

    And it is this unique insight that lets an individual come to a conclusion about certain beliefs. If this insight can be considered sufficient evidence to come to accept theories or arguments about philosophical, or political positions, then religion belief - belief in god, belief in the afterlife, belief in the central historical claims of Judaism or Christianity or Islam” (pg. 278) - should be justified as well. Religion is often subject to the Difference Thesis, as Inwagen puts it, which is the view that “religious beliefs should be held to a stricter evidentiary standard than philosophical or political beliefs...or if they are to be held to the same standard...religious beliefs fare worse under this standard than typical philosophical or political beliefs” (pg. 277). But is is a double standard to hold religious beliefs up to a stricter evidentiary standard because the objective evidence that politicians, philosophers, and other disciplines use can not be agreed on.
