Looking at the “hot issue” of religious extremism, Andreas Losch contrasted secular views on evolution and anthropology with religious resources both in addressing and describing the religious fuel that drives acts of terror. In considering religion a means to achieve non-religious goals, secular theorists reinforce the sense of religious extremists of not being heard, and they fail to inquire critically about their own implicit assumptions. It is more helpful to address religious violence from “within” and find alternative ways to inhabit religious traditions.
