It is not how deeply the person is committed to organized religion but in whose name he presumed to act. This is because there are too much swill being passed off as allowable in the religion. Muslims think there is nothing wrong just as Christians did pre reformation. The faith is in crisis. Something is truly wrong when muslims kill muslims, and when highly educated people are disconnected from moral moorings to believe they can kill in the name of the faith and it is allowable. Bangladesh is a prime example.

You might have just answered all the back-and-forths we've had on this subject since Adam n Eve, Stormie. Good work. I've said all along separate RELIGION from IDEOLOGY - and you just did.
The terrorist probably had no idea of religion but he has an idea of ISIS or AL Qaeda. He's not Saudi (note to Ba$e), he's Algerian. Them bannas in France duz smoke up and drink and ting. They are also dangerously dumb to fall for slickly produced ISIS videos.
Good for you to understand this important distinction.
