It is important to remember that historically murders, genocides have always been conducted in the name of religion. This is merely a political tactic
to appeal and control people who don't understand their religion well. It's been used in Israel, Germany, Bosnia... you name it.
It is more important to remember that historically everything man does above that you have attributed to religion is actually a result of resource
depletion or control. You said it all that these brutal events are commonly carried out in the name of religion but nun the less the ulterior motive
is resource control.
Land is the #1 resource and as populations grow neat ways are undertaken to vilify what ever group you need to dispose of. In this case a country the
size of NJ is already beyond it's carrying capacity so a villain is created and the slaughter begins. In the bigger picture this beat down we are
watching is also designed to send a message to the other Arab nations.
"If you don't want this to happen to you, don't ***** with us!" In this way the true prize of the Mideast Oil reserves will continue to flow. All
of these nations were made primarily because the British and German navies switched from coal to oil. When you commit your nation to building naval
fleets around a new fuel that your own country lacks the price for failure is high. The entire history from around 1900 till this day is all hinged on
RESOURCES (land, water, energy,etc).
The religion or racial reason is simply subterfuge since the goal is always domination of resources. This way the victor can sleep nights because he
saved the world from "savages, Jews, blacks, Indians, terrorists" but what about the prize? The spoils go to the victor and that is typically land,
energy, water, gold, diamonds and tea. Culling the useless eaters is yet another resource control method.
