• Middle East security expert: 'All the evidence shows that extremism is on the rise - but Islam is not to blame'

Andreas Kreig, a Middle East security analyst at King's College London in Qatar, said he had noticed a rise in extremism in recent weeks and months, but said Islam wasn't to blame.
"No. no! Certainly not!"
He told MailOnline: 'All the empirical evidence shows that it is on the rise. You're seeing it in all the headlines, then you're looking at Iraq, you're looking at Syria, you're looking at Nigeria.
"Certainly I would be the last person to deny the undeniable..."
'But in all three cases this has nothing to do with Islam.
"Tut tut, my good man!
I think people in the West may think it is because they feel alienated by Islam. There is alot of Islamaphobia,'
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
Mr Kreig said more and more communities - often disillusioned by austerity or other grievances - have turned to religious groups as an alternative to secular regimes in recent years.
Why were they disillusioned before the austerity and such set in?
He said: 'When communities become disenfranchised - and lot of them are muslim - they use Islam to further their particular cause.
Is there a reason Christians aren't the ones chopping people's body parts off?
'They adhere to a radical interpretation of Islam, but it has nothing to do with the religion.'
That statement makes no sense whatsoever.
