Roudy, Freeman, Sally, et al,
I'm not so sure that we can actually say this.
It's part of the mental disorder that is inherent to being a "devout" Muslim. It's always someone else that is to blame for their savagery.
(COMMENT)
There are two assumptions here that may not be true; thus: unsound...
.
• They display a identifiable behavioral or mental pattern that causes an ability to function in normal society.
• That there is such a thing as a devout muslim.
While Muslims all claim to have the same source in their accepted belief structure, certainly we can see a difference between those that destroy works of art, works of historical significants, and cultural treasures and artifacts. Additionally, we have all heard and read about the horrific measures of retribution and punishment for those actions that are considered human rights related and inalienable. We have all heard these punishments like:
• Flogging;
• Imprisonment;
• Amputation
• Death in the frenzy of the crowd Stoning (Rajm) prolonged punishment, or lapidation with the ultimate intent of the crowd killing the victim.
• We have just read within the last couple of months where a POW was burned alive.
• We've all heard of the beheadings.
• There are executions by crucifixion (salb), the body left dying three days.
We know that while Arabs are often complaining about thier "civil and religious human rights" we certainly know that the rights are different and NOT universal.
I do not know if there is such a thing as a devout "Muslim" --- which places in doubt any evaluation or judgment I could make.
Most Respectfully,
