Jihadism Born in a Paris Park and Fueled in the Prison Yard

The article written by 
The most current terrorist attack in Paris, France attracted attention of whole world slowly proving through media that we are living in a world of war, conflicts, religious issues and constant battle for power filled with evil intentions with indispensable victims and consequences and letting us feel unsafe and afraid for peace on the Earth.
Seeing and sharing every day communication in all the fields of human life with people with different religious views in 21st century has become completely normal thing and declaratory positive thing . Religion is meant to be something that creates peace and equality. Well, those concepts are not always as same as it religious books say. Especially when religious extremist talk about religion and politics.

Growing fear of terrorist attacks looks only more and more evident and valid. Whole, mostly emphasized Western World shares same fears.
It is proved again that Religion shouldn't influence Politics in way of gaining power and that Politics shouldn't be involved in creating religious views.

As the Muslim populations is spreading quickly all around the world and especially on the West, a lot of politics and nations are afraid that this means spreading and growing terrorism created by Islamic extremest. As this process of their migration has gone far away already there are assumptions created by media that all these people are potentially dangerous. But the fact that extremist and religious person are completely different things is missing. It is also missing the fact that every known religious has its own extremist groups. Still by west and high influence of  western media, the story about all negativity that Islam brings with itself is too much for me to accept.

The question also has to be why do Islamic extremists terrorize West and certain traditionally strong political centers. What's the injustice that makes them have fears, that makes them angry and willing to kill and to spread the fear seeds all around the globe?
Are Western politics completely innocent there without hidden intentions and desires for power with certain limiting religious views and freedom?

Anyhow after expressing my overall, concise opinion there is still remaining question about how to solve the problem of growing religious extremist populations and the fear they cause and whether these kind of problems are going to be solved by searching the cause of it or by the same answer of more war and power battle.
