THE SECOND PART..

Thank you for your response. If the first part is correct, then may one assume that those who participate in the second part, (the bad stuff), are "Bad" Muslims, "Good"Muslims, not Muslims, misguided Muslims,criminal Muslims, ignorant Muslims, or what. The bottom line is that any person can proclaim "God is great", declare themselves a Muslim, and justify readily their actions via the koran and the model of Muhammed, and harm people and property in the name of religion. Islam encourages this behavior,and promotes the psycological cues, via ritual, of submission.
