From the author's social perspective on identities and relationships with violence, I feel that our desire to belong somewhere, regardless of whether that place may be good or bad, it comes from our lack of identity. By finding a place to fit in, we are able to create an identity from scratch if the identity we had before didn't exist or wasn't to our liking. Regarding the religious aspects of the issues discussed, I believe that extremists of any religious group should be held accountable for their actions, and I agree that the doctrine that the person has followed extreme actions should not be considered a source of evil. Because then you are creating a situation where evil will sprout more evil when you blame an entire religious group for the actions of a few. This is where violence comes in, creating wars and other catastrophic events that take their toll
