The Muslams behavior is directly proportional to the Muslams internalization of the composite mythology advocated by Muhammed. This is so obvious that only willfull ignorance or a Muslam agenda can account for denial. The "Taliban" have simply internalized and act out the narrative of Muhammed. Other Muslams , more timid or rational or 'educated' in civilized behavior, a distinctly non Muslam attribute, take more time to 'act out' , but given time, Muslam 'education', and sufficient peer pressure, they will. Random acts of Muslam violence, or as Dr. Pipes phrased it "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" is the same pathology as "Muslam Personality Disorder". The "Why " is because they have internalized the narrative and integrated the behavior of the mythology of "Islam".
Therefore it is an error to consider "Islam" as "The third great monothestic" religion, or an "Abrahamic" religion. Muhammed has absolutely no connection to Abraham, and Satanism is also a "Monothestic" religion so it is a meaninless label and , given the violent and inhuman dogma incorporated into "Islam", disqualifies the mythology as a "Religion" at all. I trust this clears the matter up for you.
