radicals by Catia

There are radicals in every religion. Christians have radicals, Muslims have and all religions have radicals. However there a re radicals in every religion that are violent or that use violence to get their message across. People probably use this methods to oppress people and to cause fear among the population. Radicals do not only use violence to control people but to counterattack anyone who opposes them. The catholic inquisition was an era of much violence from religious radicals who did not want anyone to contradict what they said or to rise against them. The religious people used violence to cause fear to the people and set an example of what would happen if you went against them, they did this because they knew they were wrong but did not want to accept that fact. The violence was used since violence is a good method of oppression. This is why radicals use violence since they have no other way of controlling people and they want to control them. Radicals are people that are closed minded and not a good image of their religion. In most religions radicals give a bad image to their religion to others and sometimes later may even get convicted by their religion as a bad example. Even though radicals use violent methods in their campaigns they also aid themselves by religion but what they are actually fighting for are more of personal beliefs than for the beliefs of the religion they are part of.
