very beautifully and accurately written, @honeychum.
You have thrown light on the problem that exists in all societal religions and cultures. The religious philosophy never advocates shackling customs or rituals of aggression and control. It is the custodians of that religion who misinterpret the thought, distort the words to enslave minds and cultivate warriors for political purposes.
"Mullah's Jihad or Allah's Jihad! " - You struck the arrow right in the heart of the problem, @honeychum.
As always, superb writing :)
