Nono absolutely not.
I just used wanted to make clear that ANY religion that aquires political power goes evil.

Currently, there is a big problem with extremist Islam, but the same problem existed with Christianity.
Eventually the Christians lost political power and the problems gradually went away.

I hope the same happens with Islam.
I wanted to underline that the solution does not have to include extermination / nukings / war of the offending parties.

Perhaps I could have explained it a bit more extensive the first time around.
My bad.
