They are not 'mentally diseased' - they are an inevitable byproduct of religion. Whenever you replace critical thinking with brainless religious dogma you will get this as a byproduct. If the so called christian west was as christian as those men are muslim, you'd have a similar situation here. This is why it's so important to promote reason and logic - how to think as opposed to what to think. Fuck religion and fuck apologists.
There is no doubt that the U.S. harbors a more educated populace, ergo much fewer people per capita are prone to such acts of barbarism
*in the name of religion*. That being the case, the "benign" religious element we have here is responsible for creating a nation that has more capital punishments per year than ALL middle eastern countries combined. I wish people would keep that in mind when adopting a holier-than-thou attitude towards Islam.
There are also many things wrong with Christianity..I can go into it if you want but it's almost 5 a.m. here so I dunno.
At the end of the day, fuck fundies of any religion.
