Those who perform these acts in the name of a greater authority have lost their way. Violence cannot solve the problems they see in the world.

Dear Ian,

I believe discussions concerning religions are completely improper on this forum, as far as they do not concern weapons directly.

In my experience, for example, nearly _every_ religion has some 1st-10th century saint, teacher or prophet preaching death to unbelievers.
