Some people are very scared of witch craft in Asia, they thought the emos could summon Djinn or worse. The Muslims took the emos seriously as acolytes of evil.
Hmm, are you saying that belief without evidence often leads to horrific atrocities and mistakes.
Time for self-reflection perhaps?
Fear and paranoia is more likely to lead to horrific atriocities and mistakes. You can have crazy beliefs without being religious. And you can't blame the Iraqi people from being so rabid, they have been slaughtered and abused by the USA just because they have some oil. Invaded by Americans, it's enough to drive anyone mad.
