It's the fact that many "normal" people believe in that holy book that lends credence to it and exacerbates the "mentally handicapped" behaviors.
Ultimately, the moderates are to fault - without moderates, the holy book would not be holy... or would be much less regarded, sort of like the book of mormon.

As long as some people believe in holy tales, screwed up people will use them as backing for their screwed up acts.
I disagree, terrorists are not mentally ill or psychopaths, they are "normal" people like me and you that happened to be heavily brainwashed. If you analyse the brains of a liberal Muslim and a fundamentalist one you'll probably find no neurological anomaly, just someone who was very brainwashed and someone who was just slightly brainwashed

I compare them to hooligans - internally unstable, prone to violence.
