Jihadist violence is not a distortion of Islamic doctrine but a direct and logical expression of it.
Pro: Islamic scripture contains explicit sanction for holy war, martyrdom, and the subjugation of unbelievers, and jihadists cite these texts directly and consistently to justify their actions. Con: The vast majority of Muslims read the same texts and reject violence entirely, proving that doctrine alone cannot explain radicalization and that political grievance and social context are the decisive factors.
