Completely agree about religion as an excuse to wage acts of violence.

But IS seem so convincing that they have an actual agenda. They have plans, ideology, other literature. Even if most of the footsoldiers are just brainwashed, I think some genuinely believe they're doing, in this case, Allah's wishes.

I agree that some people think they are doing God's work, but I also believe there true motives are subconciously feeling angry over a plethora of other factors and influences.  They allow this thought of God's work to help them sleep at night, and convince themselves that they are not monsters.

is that different from most other people that belive in god?  do you think the gop candidates doesnt prey to god just to feel a bit less than the monsters they are? do you think catholic priests doesnt prey to god after having sex with children to feel less than monsters?

I dislike the Republican leadership too, but maybe we should avoid comparing them to people arguably as bad or worse than Nazi's...
