In the hierarchy of religious thoughts, we use building blocks. Criticizers attack the weak blocks using logic or throwing opposite blocks.
When a defense argument fails, violence is typically the way to silence criticism.
Sunni and Shiite Muslims -and pretty much most theists; too- know that their religious hierarchy is weak; suffering from many invisible dots in between glued recklessly, and from that insecurity occurs. With criticism, violence takes in to silence any attempt to demolish weak spots. The whole tower might fall.
Also, it's a good way to kill political resistance
Humans are tribal, even when it comes to political and economic views, but the biggest overlap in glue is religion and every sub sect of every label of every religion clamors for political power.
No, it depends on point of view if "its a good way to kill political resistance". Lots of attempts to upset a power fail. I wish evolution leaned to more compassion and non violence, but we are still tribal regardless.
