Of course you do. But I think we agree to disagree. I see religions as fundamentally harmful and you don't.

  I have not stated what I think of religions anywhere in my posts, because it is not relevant - and I'd wager you would be surprised about my answer should you ask. What you do see is this being a religious attack, when it is quite clearly a political one. I'm honestly not sure anymore how someone who thinks through the mentality these people have can come to the conclusion that the logic makes sense. It's just so easy for people to just say "Pah, there's no logic, these people are irrational and crazy and they hate us". But that's bullshit. Everybody is driven by their own set of logic and in the majority of cases, they're easily manipulated by those that are more experienced or stand to gain more than them. This is a fact we have to face: There are horrors being done, and there are reasons behind the horrors being done. So please, I won't try to convince you - instead, think this through yourself: 1. Do these attacks serve a religious goal? If so, which? 2. What are the social consequences on islam and muslims as a result of such attacks? Are they predictable? Are they known by the perpetrators? 3. What happens as a result of those consequences? Who is affected? Who is most negatively affected? 4. Based on your answers on 2 & 3, can you tell who stands to gain the most out of it? 5. Does your answer to 1 still make sense in the context of your answers to 2, 3 & 4? Have fun, I'm going to sleep.
