What is wrong with people? We are talking about a religion in which one of the highest aspirations of its adherents is to be killed fighting in a war. What other religion advocates chopping off hands and heads, and stoning people in the streets? What other religion advocates global war, in order to convert people? In what other religion, during religious festivals, can you see droves of the "failthful" marching the streets with AK-47's, and declaring their desire to kill and die for "God". . Excuse me people....what are we missing here? How do religion and AK-47s go together?...
