Understanding the reasons of violence and political extremism has become one of the main areas of political psychology in the past two decades. Considering the role of cultural and religious components with the aim of motivating individuals to engage in violent acts, one of the most important reasons for understanding political violence in this paper is attention. In this article, it will be attempted to analyze, critique and evaluate actions aimed at ISIS violence within the framework of cultural-religious theory.
The main question is: what are the reasons and the religious and cultural structures of the violence among the members of the ISIS group? The hypothesis of this research is based on the fact that ISIS violence derives from factors such as reproduction of culture of violence, religious intolerance, crisis of meaning, feeling of humiliation, discrimination and a feeling of injustice and inequality. The main focus of this article is on the most important cultural-religious factors in the emergence of ISIS violence, including the culture of honor, religious fanaticism, the crisis of meaning and identity loss, the sense of discrimination and cultural-religious humiliation, and the desire for survival and overcoming the death anxiety.

The relation of religion with the notion of rationality has been a concern for the faithful religionists. The field of religious studies faces new questions in this regard. Islamic thinkers have not been the exception and the acquaintance of Muslims with the requirements of the new age is the beginning of questions regarding the relationship between them, because in the experience of western human, the confrontation with such a problem can be found. Using the patterns of answering this question can blur the hidden aspects of the relationship between them. One model is the response that Thomas Aquinas gave to the relationship between reason and religion. In this research, based on Springer´s method, which is a method of understanding political theory, we will look at this issue in Aquinas´s thought. The question is: " how Aquinas addresses the relationship between wisdom and religion, as well as the ideal reconstructed image to offer". To answer, various dimensions of Aquinas´ political thought have been analyzed. The research hypothesis is as follows: The solution to the conflict between wisdom and religion in the public domain, in Aquinas´ perspective is in the aggregate between these two epistemic areas and the widespread collaboration among its custodians.
