So then one could wonder about Zionists who are equally claiming a
religious justification for their acts of violence. Meir Kahane was a Rabbi
& Kahane Chai is classified as a Terrorist organization.

Or as usual is that somehow "different" ?

& then there is the BJP/RSS in India which has repeatedly called for &
achieved religious based massacres such as in Gujarat.

Different again I suppose.

People are people & all religions & people's have their nutty violent wing.
