    Greed as in people that abondon all morals for material and money.

    If someone is both they will continue to live with only one of those.

    Just curious what leftists target more.

    Shut down the greed, and the religious extremism will mysteriously fade away with it. Zealots are useful idiots for certain types of powerful bastard, and they are often led by scammers anyway. Churches that want to meddle in politics are easily corrupted.

      Yeah, and whilst a very intellectually competent and kind hearted person would understand and appreciate God's selfless creation and act accordingly independently, "there's one upright man among a thousand" (Ecclesiastes 7:28), so I recommend reading the Qur'an for guidance. From the Bible, I recommend the Sermon of the Mount to understand Jesus' message and conception of God and, ofc, Solomon's Ecclesiastes for the brave existentialists out there who don't always think in black and white, all or nothing ways. Most people should innately know right from wrong though, but the waters get muddy in the presence of propaganda and ideological corruption, and you can turn any sheep into a wolf to their fellow man.

      Which one is correct, the shiite doctrine or the sunni doctrine?

        Neither, have the Qur'an as your axiomatic base (and find wisdom in Scripture if you're curious) and use discernment for everything that wasn't specified. I'm against sectarianism, especially when God already said "believers are brothers" (49:10) and even included the Jews and Christians in the group despite our ideological differences...

          Greed hands down. Religious extremism is like psychosis or other mental illnesses. Greed is a much more dangerous beast and the absence of greed takes away a lot of religious extremism’s teeth. We also have more tools available to successfully combat religious extremism than greed. We’ve repeatedly seen collapses of religious extremists but rarely successful curbing of greed.

              Greed (personal enrichment) is typically a reason a lot of religious leaders push hate so getting rid of greed gets rid of some (but not close to all) religious extremism.

              That seems like the best choice as getting rid of religious extremism gets rid of some hate but still leaves us in the same greedy society

                    A significant portion of religious extremism disguises greed extremism, so I'd get rid of greed extremism.
