          Islam isn’t any better or worse than other religious doctrine - bad people use it as justification for evil shit just like they would with Christianity or any other belief system. Good people also use it to do good, though that’s entirely debatable depending on the context. I.e. a Christian charity drive in a rural area where the only people benefitting from said charity will be Christian.

          Religion bad.

          Edit: I am not the OC

          A stereotype in the west is the occurrence that some Muslim members commit “Terrorist” acts. That are ideologically driven against those not in their faith. Sometimes unfairly called Terrorist attacks, sometimes unfairly described as something else.

          One of those stereotypes being terrorism on planes circa early 2000s.
