I think we should be concerned about any religion that's being used successfully to mold masses of people into violent action. Hundreds of years ago this would have been various religious sects including Christianity and now it's Islam (plus various weird sects like the Jim Jones group and the flying saucer group). It's hard to deny that there are literally thousands of people being influenced in a very negative way by certain Islamic religious leaders. It's certainly not all of them and we all know that ancient texts like the bible and koran can be interpreted in many ways both for good and for evil depending on the goals of the ones using it but there are certainly some using it in an evil way IMO.
